AUTO VASES – CAR VASES – ANTIQUE BUD VASES
THE INFORMATION BELOW RESEARCHED JUST FOR YOU IS COPYRIGHTED – PLEASE DO NOT COPY OR ‘CUT & PASTE’ IN ORDER TO MARKET YOUR OWN
SOMEONE ASKED US WHERE ‘AUTO VASES” CAME FROM??.. AND THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. THEY WERE CONCEIVED OUT OF NECESSITY. REMEMBER IT WASN’T UNTIL 1939 THAT PACKARD MOTOR CAR CO. FINALLY CREATED THE FIRST AIR CONDITIONED AUTOMOBILE. UP TO THAT POINT, YOU EITHER OPENED A WINDOW , THE COWL VENT OR IMPLEMENTED THE OPTIONAL “VENTILATING FAN”, OFFERED AFTERMARKET BY DELCO OR TRICO. IN THEORY: THE MAJORITY OF AUTOMOBILES EITHER HAD LEATHER OR MOHAIR INTERIORS. MAYBE, THE FIRST BRAINSTORM CAME FROM SEEING (OR SMELLING) THESE DEVICES WHILE BEING USED IN OLD FUNERAL COACHES BUT, SOMEONE HAD TO HAVE THE IDEA THAT WHEN IT WAS RAINING OR SNOWING OUTSIDE FOLKS ENTERING THEIR CARS SOMETIMES GOT THEIR CAR SEATS DRENCHED. THE MOHAIR OR LEATHER WOULD STINK LIKE A WET DOG, SO, NECCESSITY WAS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION: THE OWNER OF THE OFFENDING ‘PEOPLE TRANSPORTER’ SIMPLY HAD HIS WIFE CUT SOME FRESH FLOWERS AND PLACE THEM IN “WALL POCKETS” OR BUD VASES AND HUNG THEM IN THE CAR. HENCE CAME THE FIRST DEODORIZER FOR CARS.
SOMETIMES SILK FLOWERS REPLACED THE ‘LIVE’ VARIETY AND ONE ASTUTE (?) MANUFACTURER EVEN OFFERED AN ELECTRIC FLOWER ARRANGEMENTWHICH RAN OFF THE 6-VOLT CIGARETTE LIGHTER. IT IS ALSO WRITTEN THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE FIRST VASES CAME IN ELECTRIC CARS TO OVERRIDE THE ACRID SMELL OF BATTERY ACID~~~.
THESE BEAUTIFUL VASES WERE MADE BY A HOST OF DIFFERENT COMPANIES WHICH COULD INCLUDE QUEZEL, SINCLAIRE, HAWKES, MC KEE, BENZER, LIBBY, HENRI MARIE, AND EVEN STUEBEN. “BETTER VASES” WERE SOLD IN JEWELRY STORES, WHILE COMMON GLASS VASES COULD BE FOUND IN THE AUTO DEALERSHIP PARTS DEPARTMENT. THEY CAME MADE IN A VARIETY OF FORMATS FROM PRESSED GLASS, PORCELAIN, METAL, MERCURY GLASS, STERLING SILVER, BRASS, CUT CRYSTAL, AND EVEN WOOD . MOST OF THE STEUBEN LINE ARE CONSIDERED HAND-BLOWN (THOUGH THE MOLD WAS INDEED HAND-ASSISTED). HENRY FORD LIKED THE IDEA SO MUCH HE OFFERED THEM IN FORD PARTS DEPT’S. AND CATALOGS AS A MASS PRODUCTION ITEM ON HIS MODEL T’S CALLING THEM “THE AUTO VASE”.
MOST FOLKS ARE HAPPY TO HAVE JUST ONE BUT, THERE’S ALWAYS THOSE WHO HAVE TO OWN A MATCHED SET….SO, WE DO OFFER THEM BOTH WAYS. WHAT WE HAVE FOUND AFTER 20 YEARS OF COLLECTING THEM IS THAT THEY ARE OFTEN FOUND CHIPPED & DAMAGED, OR MORE OFTEN WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL BRACKETS BUT, FINDING THEM AS A MATCHED SET WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED BRACKET(S) INTACT IS PRETTY MUCH ‘THE HOLY GRAIL’. BRACKETS ARE AVAILABLE BUT, THEY ARE CHEAP IMMITATIONS OF THE ORIG. (BARE METAL NOT PLATED OR CHROMED). INCIDENTALLY, THESE ARE USUALLY REAL GLASS SO, CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN WHERE YOU MOUNT THEM IN YOUR VEHICLE (LOW PEOPLE TRAFFIC POSITION). EVEN THE NEW VOLKSWAGENS NOW OFFER THEM AGAIN AS AN OPTION IN PLASTIC- SO, THEIR POPULARITY HAS APPARENTLY SPAWNED ANEW. PRICES ON ON THE RISE-SO BUY THEM NOW AND SMILE LATER.
NEWS FLASH !!!! AS A TOKEN OF DEVOTION TO MY GREAT WIFE – I RECENTLY TOOK ONE OF THESE VASES HOME AND MOUNTED IT ON THE WALL, NEXT TO HER VANITY…. SHE ‘FLIPPED OUT’… IT LOOKS FABULOUS ….. AND WE HAVE ALSO RECENTLY SOLD SEVERAL PAIRS TO PEOPLE WHO OWN WOOD BOATS FOR USE DURING CONCOURS SHOWS !!! YET, ANOTHER GREAT USE FOR THESE WONDERFUL OLD VASES.
WE INVITE YOU TO BRING THE GREAT OUTDOORS INSIDE AND ADD A ‘TOUCH OF SPRING COLOR‘. WE INTIALLY OFFERED THEM EXCLUSIVELY TO THE WOODIE CAR CLUBS BUT, HAVE NOW BROADENED OUR PERIMETERS TO PLACE THEM ON OUR WEBSITE FOR EVERYONE TO BUY & ENJOY.
