Wood Elephant   -   Email
Price:  $18.50	Item :  MSC1	Condition:  see descrip.	Year:  unknown - about 1950's?
Description: A nice older, hand-carved wood elephant - very dark wood.  Stands 6 1/4" high at top of trunk, about 5" long and about 2 1/2" wide.  Both tusks still there.  No markings, just a nice art object to enjoy.  1950's or older - known because of the estate it came from.

Oriental Fan Lot   -   Email
Price:  $50.00/lot	Item :  MSC101	Condition:  see descrip.	Year:  see descrip.
Description: This lot is a group of 5 oriental fans. The two smaller light colored fans are plastic and one has a nice painted scene. The two brown fans are wood - 1 is sandalwood and the other is a different wood - very lightweight. All four of these fans are in excellent condition and estimate of age is c50’s or 60’s. The larger fan is extremely old - circa 1900’s. I found a perfect one on ebay listing for $1100.00 - mine is not perfect. Several of the individual fan pieces are broken, split or chipped off. The ribbon appears to be original and is intact. This is made from either bone or ivory and would make a beautiful display fan. The price is for all 5 fans.

 

Texan Cap Gun   -   Email
Price:  $35.00	Item :  MSC136	Condition:  See descrip	Year:  early 50's
Description: This was Matt's favorite toy when he was very little.  It is a Texan (not a Jr), made by Hubley.  There thumb 'knob' for opening it (you can see I never had one) is broke off, but otherwise the cap gun is all there.  The body of the gun is very ornate and there is a 'Texas Longhorn" bull in the molded handle on both sides.  Although this cap gun is not in 'mint' condition, it is quite impressive and weight almost 1 1/2 pounds.

 

Pair of Brass Candle Pots   -   Email
Price:  $28.00	Item :  MSC149	Condition:  Excellent	Year:  unknown
Description: I don't know if these are really candle pots, but I don't know what else to call them - and they would be great for votive candles, so . . . . . Candle Pots they are :-)  They are 3 3/4" tall and 3" across.  They are not stamped China, but they are of very heavy brass and in the same style as the popular large bowls and platters that are stamped - seem to be the same vintage of about 1940's or 1950's.  There are small copper flowers and birds on the outside and they need a really good cleaning.

 

Psyanky Egg and Display Case   -   Email
Price:  $8.00	Item :  MSC135	Condition:  Excellent	Year:  unknown
Description: OK - this is mixing up things a bit :-)  The egg is a Russian-style psanky egg and the display case is Asian - both are beautiful.   The display case is 2 3/4" square and overall height is 5".  The black egg stand is part of the display case and the clear sides are glass.

 

Fabric Doll   -   Email
Price:  $15.00 USD	Item :  MSC102	Condition:  Very Good	Year:  pre 60's
Description: This doll was in an estate and is at least from the 60’s or before. There are no tags or markings that I can find. She is all fabric and she has lived in a drawer for much of her life. The facial featuares are embroidery with yard and the hair is yarn. There is some discoloration in the hair yarn but the yarn itself is like new. There are no tears or rips in any of the fabrics that I can find. She even has bloomers! She is 30" long.
