This delightful Jacobs Christmas biscuit tin combines so may wonderful details. First it is a penny bank. then a fortune teller, the spinner works beautifully, then it has wonderful scenes of anthropomorphic bunnies at a Christmas ball. The lithography is gorgeous and the colors are bright. It is in lovely condition. It stands abut 7 3/4" to the top of the arch, the width 4 1/4" at the widest point and the depth 2 3/4" at the deepest point. We forgot to photograph one side panel which shows Mother Bunny adjusting her daughter's coat, with Poppa Bunny looking on, before she enters the coach which is to bring her to the ball.The whole thing is a whimsical delight. Sorry, the little key to the bottom of the bank is missing.

SOLD 

This Civil War period glazed leather sewing "roll" is actually rectangular in shape . It is brown leather and lighter brown fabric binding. Lined in red silk, while it is worn, is amazingly all there(most wear of the silk is on the compartment gussets). The lock, which still works is beautifully detailed and decorated brass and steel.The thimble holder contains a Simon Bros. Co. metal thimble which,of course, is not original. There is a large steel bodkin in one of the 7 slots. It has three compartments and its original silk covered pincushion forms one of the sides. The width is 4 1/2", the height is 3" and the depth is 2". Given its age and use I think it is in lovely condition.

Britains elephant ride group produced post war - 1950's.The pieces are in excellent condition.The group consists of the Indian elephant, the howdah, the correct boy and girl and the keeper astride.

If you are interested, I also have the the short and tall(shown) standing keepers available in perfect condition.

$2200.00 

This 1930's Kingsbury fire truck is a most impressive toy. It measures about 36" in length at the maximum.The width is about 9 1/2". It has been in storage since the early 40's. The condition is very good. I have tried to take as many pictures as possible so that you can judge the condition. It needs a very good dusting. It all is original - the only exception I can see is possibly the string that is used in raising the ladders.The fire bell is intact and works, however the string that connected to the mechanism must have disintegrated and was not replaced. There is play wear, but the color is good and most of the silver and gold paint detailing is there. There are 4 ladders and the extension ladder. The tires are round and in very nice condition. There is no peg in the seat for a driver, so I assume there was no driver with this toy.

All of the hollow ware pieces are of a ribbed melon form. The connecting rings on the teapot and coffeepot appear to be made of ivory.The COFFEEPOT is 10" tall, 11 1/2" wide from the tip of the spout to the handle and about 5" deep at its deepest point. There is a 5/8" long dent on the body of the pot - not deep - and the lid does not close tightly. The troy oz. weight is 36.

SOLD 

This wire trap is pictured in Suzanne Slesin's book on antique wire. I am assuming it was a mouse trap because of its size. It is now for the collector of unusual wire because a small section of 4 wires in the base have rusted away.The rest if it is intact.It does retain its metal little door for retrieving your catch. Diameter of the base is 6" , height is 4", handle is another 2". It is a neat piece.

Charming Scots terrier is a figural tape measure and pin cushion in all original condition. It is straw filled - this can be seen in the three little spots where the fabric is missing (probably a moth's dinner). Tape works perfectly. Made in Japan, ca 1930.
