Single Prop Model MUSICAL TIN AIRPLANE Fly Me to Moon!

Single Prop Model MUSICAL TIN AIRPLANE Fly Me to Moon! - eBay (item 310033559539 end time Mar-26-08 18:42:15 PDT)

This tin model airplane has a primitive sculptural look with a streaky coppery finish. The label on the tail fin is marked, "Plays Fly Me To The Moon, Made in Hong Kong." You turn the propeller to wind up the music works, then the propeller revolves as the music plays.

It's a single propeller model with a single wing supported by upper struts. The three wheels do not turn. It would look great hung from a ceiling or parked on a shelf.

The plane measures 12 inches long by 11 1/2 inches wide by 6 1/2 inches high. The music plays correctly. There are a few bends in the tail fins.

Calla HOUSE OF HATTEN Dancer, 12 Days Christmas Piece!

Calla HOUSE OF HATTEN Dancer, 12 Days Christmas Piece! - eBay (item 310033550827 end time Mar-26-08 18:04:42 PDT)

This vintage House of Hatten ornament looks like an ethnic fairy princess ballet dancer. She's marked on the bottom, "House of Hatten ©1989" and came from a retired 12 Days of Christmas set designed by D Calla.

She's made of something very light weight that looks like wood. Her outfit is a long pointed hat with pearls on wires, a fancy long black vest and belled sleeves, long red skirt and black shoes with ethnic design bands. Her face is fascinating, her hands are large and expressive. Her long black hair is in a loose braid. Is she a medieval or Russian girl?

There's a small loop on her hat to hang her as ornament. She's in excellent condition, no chips or damage anywhere, no repairs. The ornament measures 9 inches tall.
