Meet Your Seller
FROM UNCLE VINNY was my mother’s creation. Since I was a child, she would give extra presents to family on holidays, things that she found at thrift stores and garage sales. These gifts were handpicked for the recipient, and we always enjoyed opening them. She would sign the tag from “Uncle Vinny”, after St. Vincent de Paul’s endearing nickname, St. Vinny’s. Uncle Vinny performed his gift-giving duties under my mother’s tutelage for 50 years. Some relatives have known his presence all their lives: one cousin grew up without ever learning the truth behind our second Santa Claus, and she reached adulthood believing that we had some strange, distant uncle who sent us used presents! Today, my family still occasionally takes up Uncle Vinny’s mantle, bestowing thrifted gifts to each other in his name. I carry on the tradition in my own way, reselling vintage treasures I find at the same places mom and I used to shop together. Uncle Vinny lives on. I hope Uncle Vinny has the perfect gift here for you!

Stangl Pottery was a company in Flemington (and later Trenton), New Jersey, that manufactured a line of dinnerware and other items. Originally founded as Samuel Hill Pottery in 1814, the company changed its name to Fulper Pottery in 1860, and finally to Stangl Pottery in 1955. Stangl birds have been produced since 1939. The figurines were based on illustrations in James James Audubon's "Birds of America" and Alexander Wilson's "American Ornithology". Bisque birds were made in molds, then hand-decorated, glazed, and fired. During 1944, Stangl made a porcelain "Birds of America" series. Birds were made until Stangl went out of business in 1978, but after World War II, Stangl made fewer birds and more dinnerware. The company ceased production and closed in 1978.
