$185 USD SaleSALE Georg Fischer Penny Toy Touring Vehicle and Half a Driver to Boot!
Collectibles:Toys:Penny Toys
From the very famous Georg Fischer toy company, you are viewing a top down touring car. This can be determined from the GF insignia on the sides of the doors. Condition is good by penny toy standards. There is the usual bare metal oxidation, paint scrapes and rubs. At some point, the windshield on the passenger side separated from the main body of the car. It’s difficult to see. It has only half a driver. But half is better than none! Items with a name brand command a higher price. But this one ...
$85 USD SaleSALE Iridescent Victorian Ball Inkwell
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Inkwells
This very fun inkwell is shaped like a pyramidal series of balls. Although clear, the glass has a faint iridescent sheen, reminiscent of bottles that have been buried for many years (this inkwell hasn’t, by the way)! Pinks, golds and pale greens can be seen, depending on the light and the background colors. This is a nice example of Victorian design. The Huntings (in The Collectors World of Inkwells) dates this to1880; it was made in England. It measures 4 1/2" tall and about 2 1/2" in diameter ...
$225 USD SaleSALE Iridescent Cranberry Bohemian Art Glass Vase
Glass:Antique:Bohemian Art Glass
This beautiful vase has both a glowing iridescence and a wonderful satiny feel to it. It picks up green tints at its base, while the rest is a lovely soft cranberry. Vertical lines add to the iridescence, while pinched spots create interest and give this vase an elegant, flowing shape. The metal collar is cut into a thistle design. It dates to the late 19th century or early 20th and was likely made by Kralik or one of the other important Bohemian glass houses of the time. It measures 8.25" tall ...
$170 USD SaleSALE Late 19th Century French Opaline Master Perfume or Decanter
Glass:Antique:French
This lovely hand enameled French decanter simply begs one to pull out the stopper and pour a little afternoon sip of something... sweet. Of course the sweet something may have been perfume... we aren't totally sure. This piece of nice opaline glass was sold to us as a master perfume bottle, but it is a pretty large bottle which may have been a decanter of some kind. It features hand enameled flowers and birds and an interesting crenelated stopper. The glass has a look of alabaster, and was given ...
$55 USD SaleSALE TPS Magic Choo-Choo with Box
Collectibles:Toys:Tin Windup:Tps
From the Premier Japanese toy manufacture, T.P.S. (Toply, LTD.), this is the “Magic Choo Choo”, manufactured around 1965. According to William Gallagher’s Japanese Toys, Amusing Playthings from the Past, this toy was limited to a worldwide production run of 40,000 pieces. The box carries the T.P.S. trademark, while the platform has the trademark of a subcontractor, Hirata. This toy is called a platform toy. When wound up, the train shuttles around on a rail and changes direction on the ...
$270 USD SaleSALE Masudaya (Modern Toys) Rotary Car-with Box!
Collectibles:Toys:Windup:Japan
What a remarkable find! Not listed in William Gallagher’s "Modern Toys From Japan. But…..an example, although a different color variation, and manufacturer (U N) is exhibited in the Toyoji Takayama Tin Toy Museum. We don’t use the word "rare" very often, but this toy may qualify. The Rotary Car was produced after World War Two, most likely during the American Occupation. The colors and lithograph are representative of the very late ‘40s to early ‘50s styling. The export stamp suggests a ...
$285 USD SaleSALE “Keep ‘Em Sailing” Dime Register Bank
Collectibles:Banks:Dime:Register
Offered for sale is the very difficult to find in any condition, “Keep ‘Em Sailing” dime register bank. This is the black ship with red letter version. We believe this bank was made during the late ‘30s and very early ‘40s, before metal became a precious item for the war effort. There was a series of “Keep ‘Em” banks made for Sailing, Flying and Rolling (tanks). The condition of this bank is very good, but does have two blemishes on the ship above the letters “S” and “T” in “Register”. There are ...
$80 USD SaleSALE Victorian Pseudo Cameo Enameled Tumbler
Glass:Antique:Enameled
Until you look through a magnifying glass, you would swear this was a piece of cameo glass. But it isn’t – it was masterfully painted with creamy white enamel, which was then fired on to achieve a hardness close to glass. Cameo glass was extremely popular during Victorian times, but also very expensive. In order to allow less wealthy folk to enjoy the look of this glass, European companies began making “faux cameo glass” in the late 1800s. Here’s your chance to own a piece of it yourself. This ...
$155 USD SaleSALE Victorian velvet needle case or box – book shaped!
Collectibles:Sewing Items
This is one special needle box! Made to look like a tiny book, it opens up to reveal a mirror on one side, and a hand colored print of a cupid swinging a pickax on the other. A thin piece of glass protects the print. It dates to the late 1800s or possibly very early 1900s. The box is made of a stiff material – possibly balsa wood or paper machè – and covered with green velvet and embossed gold paper or very thin metallic sheet. It is “hinged” with a piece of ribbon. The lid fits snuggly into the ...
$85 USD SaleSALE Circus Auto Cycle
Collectibles:Toys:Windup:Japan
From Aoki Shokai of Japan, here is marvelous circus clown windup, mint in box. We would suspect this toy dates from the late ‘60s, or sometime into the ‘70s. Possibly a little later based on the lithography and box. We couldn’t find any details on this Japanese toy company, other than their trademark. Wind the toy up and it races along the floor. It then does a couple of flips and races along some more. Notice the clown’s flat head. Must have gotten that from doing lots of flips! Both the toy ...
$115 USD SaleSALE Chein Buick Fireball Eight Bank
Collectibles:Banks:Chein
From the 1930’s, a Julius Chein bank. Chein made a couple of different advertising banks for the automotive industry and this is one of them. The Buick bank is fairly rare and only becomes available once in a great while. If you purchase this bank, consider yourself very lucky! The colors on this bank are very bright. It does have a few dents, most notably on the very top behind the coin slot. There are some scratches, and it is missing the nickel-plated stopper. Just remember that this bank is ...
$180 USD SaleSALE Miniature portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte
Antiques:Art:Miniature Portrait
Every miniature portrait collection needs at least one Napoleon – and every Napoleon collection needs at least one miniature portrait. Here is a nice little miniature that is ready and willing to be a part of your collection. It is a small miniature – the painting itself is just over 1 5/8” in diameter, while painting and frame together measure 3 3/4”. It is water color, painted on what we believe is ivory, although we have not taken the painting out of its frame to confirm that. There is a ...
$545 USD SaleSALE Cameo Glass Perfume Lamp - signed Arsall and Aerozon D.R.G.M.
Glass:Antique:Art Glass:Cameo Glass
This very lovely piece of cameo glass has been both difficult and interesting to research. It is signed (as part of the cameo) with both Arsall and Aerozon D.R.G.M. So we had to do double research and have learned quite a bit along the way. We’ll start by describing the lamp and its condition – then for those who appreciate the history and more information, we will include that. We need to state first that it should have a pierced metal lid, with a light bulb attachment and electric cord. The ...
$75 USD SaleSALE Nippon Porcelain Dresser or Powder Box
Porcelain:Antique:Dresser Accessory
Feel yourself drifting on the water, then landing on the shore in front of a peaceful cottage, surrounded by gently swaying trees. Time to relax and calm the senses. This lovely moss green powder box exudes calm with its soft matte color and peaceful hand painted scene. Tiny brown dots ring the neck and lid for added appeal - all of the dots are still in place. In fact, this little box is in very good condition; there are no chips, no cracks, no scratches in the glaze, no paint missing. It is ...
$270 USD SaleSALE Novelty traveling inkwell – violin case!
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Inkwells
These figural traveling inkwells are hard to find – especially in this condition. This one is in the shape of a violin case, complete with a little handle. Covered in leather, or possibly sharkskin dyed black, this is a great piece from a by-gone age. A button on the front pushes to open the violin case lid. The ink bottle has a spring loaded lid which works perfectly. A pen wipe is also included. This inkwell has been used; the bottle is heavily ink stained and there are tiny specks of ...
$215 USD SaleSALE Miniature of lady with hat – painted on ivory and signed
Antiques:Art:Miniature Portrait
What a sweet face this young lady has. She’s all dressed up in her feathered Sunday hat and red striped dress – with a rather demure white shawl or collar. The painting is nicely done on ivory. Her face looks so real, and so pensive. The frame is ebonized wood, which has faded a bit over the years. We believe this miniature dates from the mid to late 1800s, based on the frame and hair style of the lady. The hanger in back looks as though it was added later. There is a signature that looks like ...
$120 USD SaleSALE 1920s German Penny Toy Butterfly
Collectibles:Toys:Penny Toys
From the 1920s Germany, a Butterfly Penny Toy. This bright multi-colored toy was sold on the streets of major cities in England, France, Germany and the United States. It sold for one penny!! According to David Pressland’s The Book of Penny Toys, this little butterfly was manufactured in Germany by the Georg & Johann Einfalt Company, even though it does not bear their trademark. It is marked “Germany”. This toy is in remarkable condition, considering it is over 80 years old! There is wear to the ...
$315 USD SaleSALE Ruby 19th century Pressed Glass Amberina Vase
Glass:Antique:Amberina
This is one of the most unusual pieces of Amberina that we have seen. It is a fluted vase, with gilt metal mount and feet. Shading goes from deep ruby red on top, gradually to a warm amber and back to ruby on the base. The excellent craftsmanship can be seen in this gradual shading; many pieces of lower quality Amberina show a more distinct line between the red and amber colors. We believe this vase was made in America in the late 1800s or possibly early 1900s. This type of glass was also made ...
$115 USD SaleSALE Pink-Violet Bohemian Cut to Clear Goblet
Glass:Antique:Bohemian Art Glass
Coming to you from the 1930s is this gorgeous and unusually colored Bohemian glass goblet. It’s not quite cranberry; it’s almost pink but with a violet tint thrown in. No matter what the color, it is a spectacular piece of glass. The foot and stem are surrounded by cut ovals, giving it a nice art deco appearance. The cup has an engraved and frosted floral decoration, with engraved circles surrounding the top. The rim is polished and beveled on the inside and outside of the top edge. A star is ...
$85 USD SaleSALE Porcelain elephant creamer – Nippon Made in Japan
Porcelain:Japanese
What a charming fellow this is, as he sits with his mouth and eyes wide open, hoping to pour cream into someone’s coffee. This figural creamer is glazed with a soft satiny glaze – not matte, but definitely not glossy either. Details are painted on by hand. He is in perfect condition, without chips or cracks and only very slight paint loss on one ear. The mark is one we have not yet been able to identify. It does say Nippon, which was generally not used after 1928; however we believe this little ...| Items 1 - 20 of 20 | Page 1 of 1 |
