Scarce vintage world globe Thorne's Toffee tin has a great patina and shows the world's political boundaries in good detail as they were before World War II.

The small tin globe can be released from its meridian, and opens to reveal a great place to stash candy, money, or any thing else you'd like to conceal.

This globe dates from the early 1930s and shows extensive signs of age and use with dings, marks, and soiling. There are traces of tape residue on the black base.

125.00 USD

This vintage metal SRG caveman statue would make the ultimate man cave gift for your husband, boyfriend, brother, or any other special man on your holiday gift list.

Made from metal coated with bronze, this awesome vintage caveman statue is in good condition showing minimal wear. The caveman figure is 2 3/4" tall and is clearly marked "SRG47" on the back.

SRG (Sell Rite Gifts) made a full line of cast metal dinosaur and prehistoric toy figurines from 1947 until about 1955. The miniature metal figurines were sold at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and other natural history museum across the United States.

Originally made as children's toys, the SRG dinosaurs in my shop are being sold as display pieces and collectibles for adults as the vintage toys most likely do not meet current toy safety standards.

I have a selection of SRG dinosaurs currently available in my shop:

James W Tufts Boston Triple Plate -Canoe Decor - Lake House Decor - Lake House Gift - Figural Silver Plate Canoe - Rare Antique Silver Plate by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

395.00 USD

James W. Tufts triple plate canoe is a curious and rare piece of Victorian era silver plate work.

I'm not sure if this James W Tufts Boston triple plate silver piece was created for a particular function or as a decorative item. It would make a lovely decor accent in a cabin, lake house, or summer home.

The unusual piece of silver-plate metal work shows great craftsmanship and detail work with an ornate base, tree bark patterned canoe, and a removable insert.

The antique silver plate canoe is very old, is very tarnished with a deep patina of age. Other than dusting the piece, the canoe is in it "as found" state. I suspect that most of the silver-plating has been rubbed away over the years. I have not attempted to polish the piece as polishing with silver cleaners is known to remove silver plating. There are worn spots on the canoe and come chipping of the finish on the removable insert. Despite these flaws, this is a very rare collectible piece from James W. Tufts Boston.

The canoe is fully hallmarked.
The piece is marked as follows:
James W Tufts Boston
Warrented Triple Plate
Design Patented Feb. 24 1890
2595

The canoe measures approximately 7 3/4" long x 3 1/8" tall x 2 1/2" deep including both oars.
