Unusual and whimsical grouping of cold painted lead figures - probably by Heyde. A kitten is sitting at a writing desk, telephone in hand and simultaneously writing "HALLOO", an ink pot is in the right hand corner. However, we can also see the cat who is making the call,on hind legs, behind the desk. The box telephone is hanging on the back of the desk.An unusual little scene done in great detail.
There is paint wear - see photos. About 2" at its widest and 2 1/2" at its tallest point.Dates about the early 20th c.

She is a flirty, naked, blond,full figured German bisque. What a doll! She is wearing her original little wig of curls and her lovely light blue bathing shoes.I assume she is sitting on a beach, as these figures are often referred to as "bathing beauties"(or naughties) She is beautiful and in beautiful condition, 5" across and 3 1/2" top to bottom. She dates from the 1920's.

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.

This is a beautiful 19th century French wire cake and pastry cooler.
The wire work is intricate for such an utilitarian item. And, it miraculously retained 3 of its tassels. The diameter is 12 1/2" and it sits 1" off the table top. The metal has a very nice patina.
For more information on French antique wire items see WIRE, by Suzanne Slesin,et al, part of the EVERYDAY THINGS series published by Abbeville.

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.

A beautiful group of 10 of the Nuremberg flats ice skating set. They are in lovely condition - two dimensional, beautiful detailed painting on both sides. There is an elderly couple skating, a gentleman helping a seated woman with her skates, a lady being pushed in a chair sled by a skater, old lady selling roasted chestnuts while seated next to her stove,2 figures of boys throwing snowballs at one another, a snowman holding a broom, a boy skater pulling a young child on a sled, and two separate figures of young men skating. They are all dressed in 19th century dress. These sets which originally consisted of 32 pieces (somewhere I have a copy of the mail order ad that was found with them), were probably sold in the 1950's.

Another graphically great set of Deco bridge tally score pads, for 4 players this time. Issued by the Buzza Co. and titled "IT'S THE VOGUE" the motif here are pirates - beautiful lady in pirate gear forms a partially figural score pad. The 4 have their silk cords but only 3 of the pencils are still hanging there. Pads have been lightly used, some shelf ware on the box. Still, all in very nice condition.
