$58.00 postage and insurance included Mainland U.S.A.only 

Charming early 20th century opera glasses really fool the eye till you take a closer look and see that you are looking at a milk glass candy container with gilt detailing,tin screw caps on the lenses andgold lettering indicating they were souvenirs from a town in N.Y. I can't make out the name of the town. Quite nice condition - no chips. Actually may be a bit earlier than I approximated above.

GROUP OF 4 -$65.00 (includes postage/insurance for mainland U.S. only) 

Four charming Golliwog bandsmen advertise Robertson jams. The trumpeter. saxophonist bass player and accordianist are all formed from plaster of paris. Two are marked ROBERTSON. I assume that they are post WWII. Condition is quite good - a minor chip on the base of the trumpeter. I assume these are of an earlier vintage because I have another Golliwog - a footballer - made ofmolded hard plastic-like material. The bandsmen all havestickers on the bottom which read "HAND PAINTED POTTERY".

Elegant little thread waxer enabled thread to slide more efficiently through the fabric, probably facilitating tinier stitches.
