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.

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.

This tiny petal shaped chamber stick is painted in Christmas colors of red and green. The paint shows wear appropriate to its age. It is made primarily of brass. The overall width is 2 1/4" and at its tallest point it is 3/4". A great accessory for a doll or a larger scale doll house. I believe it dates prior to the Second World War, although the work on the candle cup does resemble the style of the brass miniature candlesticks popular in the 1950's.

A lithographed tin tray showing a tea party attended by cartoon characters which I have been unable to identify. The mice eyes remind me of the early Mickey and Minnie eyes that had the pie shapes in them. The overall condition is good but the border shows signs of wear. The dating is 1920's - 1930's. The color is very good. The width with handles is 7 5/8", The height is 5 1/2".The back is the typical green color of the era and has some wear and a little rust.

This toy basset hound undulates as it is pulled. It is a delightful image of the dog, tongue hanging out, lithographed on heavy cardboard. From its head to the tip of its tail it wiggles as it is pulled because of its sectional construction. It is marked "Wilder Mfg.Co. Patent, and I'm pretty sure the next word is Pending". The word is slightly obscured by one of the two sets of wooden wheels the dachshund uses to travel. My guess is that the toy probably dates from the '40's or earlier. The only information I have been able to find about Wilder Mfg. is that they also made Tiddlywinks sets. The toy is in very good condition-no paper loss, some minor wear at the various hinges(one hinge has been very carefully repaired). Fully extended the dog is about 22 1/2" long and 7 1/2" tall. The wheels are about 2 1/8" in diameter.

This piggy bank is a cream color with a sponged design of terracotta, blue and brown.While I have often heard this type of pottery bank ascribed to Roseville, I have also seen similar banks identified as made in Vienna. Both designations agree that it dates to the early 20th century. This size appears to be more unusual. 4 1/4" long by 3 3/4" tall. There is glaze wear on the ear tips (more on the right than the left), a little bit on the snout and some on the bottoms of the trotters. This piggy has a lovely winsome look.

Early 20th German (possibly Heyde) lead and tin figure standing on a sled leading a team of 4 huskies. The figure appears to be dressed as an Eskimo ca. early 1900's. A great piece for a winter scene or a Christmas layout. 5" at its longest and 2" at its tallest. The lead dog has a paint chip off the face(on the right side) ,the other dogs are excellent.The figure has a tiny paint chip on the face. The sled shows some paint wear.Despite these problems the figure presents very nicely.

Charming set of lithographed paper on wood spelling blocks. One side of these blocks shows A-Zs and the other side A-Zs with the corresponding words and pictures. The set is made in Germany around the turn of the century, most probably for the English market. Each block is 1 3/16" square, 3/8" thick, and in very nice condition. The entire original box measures 7 1/2" x 5". The label on the box is excellent, lid and bottom are fine, sides of the box are broken.
