Nice Vintage Mid Century Luxury Nylon Umbrella Wood Crook Handle For Sale

A stylish and exceptionally well-made vintage luxury umbrella dating to approximately the 1960s or 1970s, combining classic mid-century practicality with an elegant accessory aesthetic. The umbrella features a handsome light tan nylon canopy paired with a beautifully shaped natural wood crook handle, giving it a sophisticated and timeless appearance.The underside reveals the quality of its construction, with an impressive network of metal arms, ribs, and springs supporting the canopy. The mechanism remains smooth and operates properly, with the umbrella opening and closing easily. The metal collar above the handle bears a monogram-style manufacturer’s mark along with the text “For Car Use,” suggesting that it was specifically designed as a convenient automobile umbrella.One of its most appealing features is the substantial crook-shaped wood handle, which retains the rich grain, texture, and irregular character of natural wood. The handle celebrates the organic qualities of the material and gives the umbrella a distinctive, luxurious appearance.The umbrella measures approximately 32.5 inches long from end to end, with the handle measuring approximately 4 inches across. When fully opened, the canopy measures an impressive 38 inches in diameter. The nylon canopy has no tears or holes and displays well. There is some age-related discoloration and staining around the top of the canopy associated with the metal fittings, consistent with vintage use and storage. The umbrella opens and closes smoothly; however, it has not been tested in the rain, and we therefore recommend it primarily as a collectible, prop, or decorative piece rather than guaranteeing present-day waterproof performance. The point at the top has a slight bend. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.A wonderful vintage accessory with considerable character, this umbrella would make an excellent addition to a gentleman’s dressing room, traditional entryway, vintage automobile display, photography or film wardrobe, retail display, or collection of classic accessories.Check out our other antique listings.
