$495 USD Offers ConsideredAntique Child's or Doll's Toy Sleigh / Sled in Original Blue Paint - Americana - Folk Art - Children's - Baby
Antiques:Toys, Games & Children's Items
Nothing could be more perfect for the season than this charming children's sleigh. Can't you just imagine a little Victorian Miss giving her dollies a ride in her new sled on a snowy December morning? Just a wonderfully nostalgic piece... the perfect addition to an old fashioned winter display. The color is fantastic... a vibrant old blue with dark blue hand painted details. The wood is stained dark around the nails, which is just what you would expect to see on an honest antique, and I see no ...
$125 USD Offers ConsideredChild's 19th Century Tin ABC Plate - Jumbo the Elephant
Antiques:Toys, Games & Children's Items
An early and appealing children's pressed tin ABC plate, displaying 'Jumbo' the elephant. Jumbo was the star attraction of the London Zoo in 1882, where he gave children rides on his back, but he soon became the center of a great controversy. His keepers were having an increasingly difficult time controlling him and began to fear an accident. He was sold to Barnum for his Circus in America, and toured the US and Canada. In 1885, he was hit by a railroad train, killing him, and derailing the ...
$395 USD Offers Considered19th C Victorian Baby Toy Rattle & Whistle w/ Bells & Beads
Antiques:Toys, Games & Children's Items
Can you imagine a time when a rattle like this was considered to be a fit toy for a child? Didn't think so. A remarkable, scarce piece of Americana, this antique American toy is made of humble materials, unlike many English (and some American) baby rattles of the period, which were made of silver and coral or mother of pearl. Crafted of brass, tin, glass, and wood. A pair of hollow brass orbs are ringed with decorative embossed stars, each sitting atop four tin arms that hold tiny tin bells with ...
$250 USD Offers ConsideredAntique Articulated Jumping Jack Jockey Chromolithograph Paper Toy
Antiques:Toys, Games & Children's Items
Before the iPod, before TV or Video Games, back before our ubiquitous electronic consumer culture, gentler amusements like this Jumping Jack Jockey amazed and delighted us... imagine! A curious synthesis of puppets and paper dolls, the origins of Jumping Jacks reach back to Ancient Egypt. Full of personality, this little guy began as a chromolithograph on paper board, he was then cut and assembled by hand. A wonderful toy, truly from a simpler time. Depicting a colorful jockey in cap, brightly ...
SOLDSOLD Little Hostess Play Foods for your Doll - Display Food Co., Saint Paul Minnesota - Early 20th C
Antiques:Toys, Games & Children's Items
This fantastic set of toy foods with it's earnest instructions to the "Little Hostess" and it's reworking of the classic "Mother Hubbard" rhyme is wonderfully nostalgic and just a bit wacky. It can't seem to decide if it's a fun toy for doll play or a "hostess in training" tool. And is it organized by "meal" or "food type?" The foods are tiny and very realistic, made of some kind of composition and painted with painted tin plates, very cool. And read the copy; is it just a bit archaic ala "Dick ...| Items 1 - 5 of 5 | Page 1 of 1 |
