This Mauchline ware bucket is a thread holder souvenir from Niagara Falls - specifically Whirlpool Rapids, and shows the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge which then dates the box to the last part of the 19th century.American scenes on Mauchline ware boxes are hard to find. The box held 3 spools of thread - the spool sticks are missing. The three ivory grommets are there - one has a tiny chip. The blackish green covering the bottom of the bucket is mostly worn away. However, it is in overall lovely condition. 3 1/4" wide and 2 1/2" tall are the maximum measurements.

In the early 20th century Raphael Tuck & Sons,Ltd. was the premier maker of beautifully chromolithographed paper toys in England. This embossed "rocker" is an example. Jolly Jack Tar is rowing the toys - a penny wooden doll, a Teddy bear, and two china head dolls. On the back is a poem entitled THE BONNIE BOATLOAD. The easel back has been reattached with archival tape. The color is glorious and there is no loss of details.
About 8 3/4" wide and 6 3/4" tall.

The Royal George sank on August 29,1782. It was recovered in 1839. This information is inscribed on the silver cap atop a booted leg shaped pipe tamper - one of the souvenirs made of the ship's wood after the wreck was raised in 1840. At some point the boot lost its toe and it was restored with a piece of bone carved to replicate the toe portion of the boot.
For more info on this wreck see www.heritage.co.uk
The site mentions souvenirs made of the ship's wood and shows a letter opener.

A black figure dressed in robes and a red fez is sitting on a box . His arms are raised in wonderment, the box says "from Niagara Falls".The tape dates from about 1920, made in Germany of celluloid. Unfortunately, in his travels the figure lost its tiny right hand - a fault you notice only if you look closely. The base of the box is 1 1/4" square and the height ,with the figure is 1 1/2" tall. The tape is red and works well.
