Framed Pin-up Arcade Cards by Earl Moran, Other Collectibles
*******************************
***All items were available for sale at the time this blog was posted. Some move out rather quickly.***
A bit chillery around here Saturday morning like 30*, today 28* not good. But now not being able to get to the markets isn't such a bad idea.
Dug through and sorted some more boxes of goodies have been hanging around here. Ran into a pile of Barbie dolls that I gotta go through, looks like there may be some older, better ones in there. Also a bunch of framed pictures I'll look into.
Took some more photos of stuff that is going into my former New Years Day auction that Jersey Shore Auctions is holding.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Earl Steffa Moran (December 8, 1893 – January 17, 1984), born in Belle Plaine, Iowa, was a 20th Century pin-up and glamour artist[1]. Moran's first instruction in art came under the direction of John Stich, an elderly German artist who also taught the great illustrator W.H.D. Koerner. Moran also studied with Walter Biggs at the Chicago Art Institute.
Moran later studied at the famed Art Students League in Manhattan, where he took instruction from the muralists Vincent Drumond, Robert Henri, Thomas Fogarty (Norman Rockwell's teacher), and the legendary anatomist George Bridgman. After moving back to Chicago in 1931 and opening a small studio where he specialized in photography and illustration, he sent some paintings of bikini-clad girls to two calendar companies; when both Brown and Bigelow and Thomas D. Murphy Company bought the work, his career was officially launched.
Moran signed an exclusive contract with Brown and Bigelow in 1932 and by 1937, his pinups had sold millions of calendars for the company. In 1940, Life ran a feature article entitled "Speaking of Pictures" which mostly focused on Moran's work and made him a national celebrity. In 1941, Moran helped the magazine publisher, Robert Harrison, to launch a new men's magazine called Beauty Parade, and he later contributed pin-ups to other Harrison magazines such as Flirt, Wink and Giggles.
In 1946, Moran moved to Hollywood though he had already painted many movie stars including Betty Grable, for publicity posters. Soon after his arrival, he interviewed a young starlet named Norma Jean Dougherty who wanted to model for him. For the next four years, Marilyn Monroe posed for Moran and the two became friends. She always credited him with making her legs look better than they were as she felt they were too thin.
Moran lived in the San Fernando Valley from 1951 to 1955, hosting fabulous parties, directing and starring in short television films, painting portraits of Earl Carroll's Vanities Girls, and maintaining his position as a star of the pin-up world.
After a move to Las Vegas (circa 1955) and several years of living in the fast lane, Moran decided to devote his time to painting fine-art subjects, with nudes as his favorite theme. Signing with Aaron Brothers Galleries, he painted for collectors until 1982, when his eyesight failed. An interesting note, some of his earlier works for Harrison were signed "Steffa" or "Black Smith"
Moran died in Santa Monica, CA on January 17, 1984

Vintage Safety Razors added to the Shop
*******************************
***All items were available for sale at the time this blog was posted. Some move out rather quickly.***
Been keeping busy loading the shop up with merchandise, looking back at last year, Thanksgiving weekend was pretty busy and it continued on up until about a week before Christmas, slowed a bit due to buyers were worried about shipping. Post office doesn't guarantee anything around that time.
Cleaned up part of a collection on vintage razors, wrote descriptions, take photos today. Scanned some New Jersey postcards and vintage gas station road maps that will also go on later today I hope.
Took some more photos and sent a few items to our ebay auctions.
A few vintage razors added to the shop.
Gillette Old Type Razor Bulldog Handle,
Vintage Standard Old Type Gillette safety razor with spiral design 'Bulldog' handle, single ring. Razor is silver plated. Three piece design with long center stud and two smaller studs to hold the 3 hole style blade (will also take the standard double edge blade). These razors were serial numbered. This one has serial number N27606?, can't quite make out last digit which dates it to 1920. Nice collectible fact about these serial numbered razors is it is the only one. Nice average condition, has two very slightly bent end teeth on one side. Which isn't bad for being 90 years old.
Schick Krona Double Edge Safety Razor
Vintage Schick Krona Double Edge safety razor, long black handle with TTO knob. Marked Schick Krona on the top doors Average used condition.
Gillette Aristocrat Safety Razor 1946-1947 / Case
Vintage Gillette Aristocrat safety razor, 1946-1947 era This variety of the Aristocrat has no notch for blade on the center bar and does have end caps. TTO. Uses regular double edge blades. Comes with brown case, gold trim. Inside the lid the fabric is torn. And a blade dispenser (looks like a few blades). Nice pre owner condition, no plating loss, light surface scratches
Schick Injector Razor Butterscotch Bakelite Handle
Vintage Schick Injector safety razor, butterscotch bakelite handle. E3 type parallel grooving on bar guard. Uses standard injector blades. Early 1940's era. Average used condition, has some scratches.
More Vintage Razors in the shop.
Added some more small odd & ends collectibles etc. to my CJoe's Online Collectibles Auction site and a few things also to our Eclectic Collectibles Shop. Also a few items to our Ebay auctions. Got lots o' stuff to keep moving.
