Vintage Hand-Made WOODEN BIPLANE Green Model Airplane! - eBay (item 310027063280 end time Mar-04-08 18:19:25 PST) This vintage green painted wooden airplane may have been a kit. It has a hand-carved wood block fuselage and wings with professional-looking struts, metal propeller, and wheels. I see no maker's mark anywhere.
The hunter green color has black and white hand-painted accents in the form of stripes, circles and the numeral 2. The wingspan is 14 5/8" and the plane is about 9 1/2" long.
The paint is chipped here and there, particularly on the upper wing and fuselage. The propeller spins easily, the wheels turn easily, and the plane is sturdily constructed. This wooden airplane would look great on a shelf or strung up from your ceiling.

Vintage Cast Iron PARROT BOTTLE OPENER Freestanding! - eBay (item 310027058312 end time Mar-04-08 17:59:47 PST) This vintage bottle opener is a painted cast iron parrot that stands upright, ready to grab and open a bottle with his open hooked beak. The side of the stand is marked, "JW©."
The color is clearest on the blue outer tail, yellow under tail and black stand. Some red shows on the belly, black beak, white face and maybe blue or green wings. Most of the original color is obscured by heavy patina.
The open beak of this parrot bottle opener is still sharply hooked and likely opens a bottle cap quick as a wink. It might open a can just as readily.

Vintage 9-In YELLOW BELLHOP RUBBER DOLL Squeaker Toy! - eBay (item 310026805451 end time Mar-03-08 21:02:26 PST) This vintage rubber doll is a yellow bellhop boy with blonde hair, big dark eyes, pink cheeks, jaunty cap and uniform. There's no maker's mark anywhere. The squeaker has a number on it that's hard to read.
The rubber is still flexible and the squeaker still works, but not very loudly. The arms and legs move easily.
The right side of his belly is dented in a little bit and the back of the head is dented in a lot. There's something on the lower right leg and something pink on two fingers of the left hand. Otherwise he's in surprisingly good shape for such an old doll. He looks like he could be from the twenties or thirties.
Does this vintage rubber bellhop doll make you smile?
