This small yellow duckling figurine is in very good vintage condition. The bottom of the piece has some rough spots and a flea bite around the firing hole. The piece is hand-signed "Lenci Italy" along with a circular symbol on the bottom. The bird also has a round paper Lenci seal.

I bought two wood-handled horse hair brushes at an estate sale recently and have discovered that a horsehair brush is the ideal tool to dust off a laptop computer. As I only need one brush, I am offering the other for sale.

The brush was once owned by a professional draftsman. The horse hair is in excellent and clean condition. The wood handle shows wear and has dings and scratches typical for a used tool. The handle is marked "Sterilized Hair Made in U.S. A.," & has a hole in it for a rope, making it easy to hang the brush near your desk for easy access.

Wood handle is approximately 14 1/4" long x 1" at its widest point. Horse hair brush area is approximately 9" long x 1 3/4" at this widest point.

Vintage Globe - Illuminated Glass World Globe - 10 Inch Replogle Precision Terrestrial Globe -- 1948 -- Gustav Brueckmann Cartographer by HappyFortuneVintage

225.00 USD

This vintage illuminated 10 inch Replogle Precision globe designed by Gustav Brueckmann captures the world's political boundaries during a time of great transition. Israel has been established (1948), yet Korea has not yet been divided into North & South (1948). Jordan is marked as Transjordan (1946 - 1948). Germany has not been divided into East and West (1949).

You'll find the political entities:
Anglo-Egyptian Sudan
Belgian Congo
Ceylon
Equatorial Africa
French West Africa
Indo-China
Northern Rhodesia/Southern Rhodesia/Bechuannland
Siam

What makes this vintage globe extra special is that it is glass. It is not made out of pasteboard. The glass orb is coated with paper gores which are in very good condition for a 65+ year-old globe. There is some minor paper loss which is most noticeable when the globe is illuminated.

The globe has a metal base and a half meridian which have a nice patina of age. The silver coating along the edge of the meridian has worn away. There is some pitting on the base

The globe also has a night and day time dial at the North Pole.

I tested the light and it works. The cord appears to be original to the globe. You may want to have the electrical cord replaced as it is vintage and may not be up to current electrical standards. Please make sure you use a very very low wattage bulb in your globe.
