What's new this week at MARQUIS ETC?

MARQUIS ETC has a wide selection of antique depression glass. Depression glass brought a little sunshine into the United States during the dreary 1920's thru 40s. It was first included in a box of Quaker Oats cereal as an incentive for customers to purchase the food. It soon caught on and was given away with trips to the theaters, gas station, grocery store, and other businesses.

DeLizza & Elster's JULIANA line of jewelry is highly collectible and you can see why!! Come see what's new this week at MARQUIS ETC.

Delizza and Elster started making jewelry in 1947 and continued until 1990. D&E used unusual and interesting art glass stones mixed with high quality rhinestones in most of their designs. Juliana was a line of jewelry produced by D&E. This high quality sparkling jewelry was only marked with a JULIANA paper hangtag. Most of these hangtags have been removed over the years, so D&E Juliana jewelry is determined mainly by style, construction, and design techniques. D&E Juliana jewelry is some of the most highly sought after pieces by vintage costume jewelry collectors.

A Rare Slice of History

VERY RARE, 1880s, Bullion Exchange Bank Ledger from Carson City, Nevada with nearly 1000 pages of entries. This is an amazing slice of Gold/Silver/Banking history from the Bullion Exchange Bank in Carson City, Nevada. The handwriting is absolutely amazing and the book is 1000 pages and 997 of them are filled out in this stunning calligraphy. So lots and lots of pages which I am assuming may have some famous names and companies written on them if someone were diligent in searching through them. I believe the same individual did all the writing in the book as it is all remarkable. The ledger dates from September 6, 1888 till November 6, 1889. Book itself was produced by Le Count Bros. out of San Francisco, California. They were stationers, lithographers and printers. Book is very legible and easy to read. It is GIGANTIC and VERY HEAVY. It measures 18 by 13 inches and is 4 inches thick. It weighs a whopping 25 lbs. This is a VERY RARE slice of Gold Rush and Silver mining history in Nevada. Available in my ebay store now.
