$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.

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.

Tony Sarg(1880-1942)was a well known puppeteer and illustrator. Among many other things he was the designer of the early Macy's parade huge balloons (1928) and Macy's elaborate animated Christmas windows. This box of Tony Sarg designed blocks is 14" X 7 1/2" It contains 8 delightful cube shaped blocks each featuring a different animal - cow, dog, elephant,frog, goat, alligator, bear, cock - c,d,e,f,g,a,b,c - the musical notes. Each block has a jingling device inside and different illustrations on 5 of its 6 sides. The box is dated 1942 and claims "The ONLY Toy that AUTOMATICALLY Makes EVERY TOT A MUSICIAN". The original box and all the blocks are here. However, the box is worn ,although generally intact. The blocks have very good color and all have their musical devices. The biggest problem are water marks - more evident on the box than on the blocks. See photos. Still, a fairly intact toy designed by a great illustrator.

$395.00 

A wonderful toy village. Perfect for a Christmas garden, a mantelpiece or a train layout. Consists of 10 buildings in the Deco/Colonial Revival style. The condition of all the buildings is quite good -some have bits of cellophane missing - about a score of 9 out of 10. They all have openings for lights. There are three different styles of homes, a R.R. Station, a Telegraph Office, a Supermarket, a Bank, a Theater, a Gasoline Station and a Movie house. Since I photographed these buildings, I have also acquired the RR signal tower and a Bathhouse (this one is the same shape as the RR Sta.) - please inquire about the two additional buildings.
