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! - 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.

The top bar says, "Community Grange, No. 1778." The next bar says, "Member." The round medallion says, "Patrons of Husbandry" with a logo of farming symbols and a handshake.

Vintage Round EMBROIDERED TRINKET BOX Oriental Golfer! - eBay (item 310033266142 end time Mar-25-08 18:51:56 PDT) This vintage embroidered trinket box is small and round with an oriental design on the lid, black satin sides and red brocade lining inside. It looks like there's a golf bag behind the man. I see no maker's mark.
The embroidery is somewhat soiled and still good except for the gold threads which are coming loose. The lid fabric is threadbare around the edge.
The bottom is plain white paper with a penciled "60.00" written on it. The red brocade lining is in good condition with two minor stains. The lid fits snugly.
It measures 3 1/4 inches across and almost 2 inches high. The bottom is 1 inch deep.

Vintage CHALKWARE PIGGY BANK Pink Chalk Pig Still Bank! - eBay (item 310033247431 end time Mar-25-08 17:36:30 PDT) This vintage chalkware piggy bank likely came from a carnival long ago. There's no maker's mark. It's a cute fat smiling girl pig with long eyelashes and a bow on its neck. I think it used to be Pepto Bismol pink, judging from the bright color underneath. It's faded to pale pink everywhere else.
The finish has marks and numerous chips. The right eyelashes are pretty much gone.
She's 8 inches long and about 5 inches high. There's no way to get your coins back out except to slide a butter knife into the slot and shake and jiggle them out. It's either that or smash her. Yikes!

1972 DC Comic SWAMP THING #1 Berni Wrightson Near Mint! - eBay (item 310032134982 end time Mar-21-08 20:24:40 PDT) This Swamp Thing #1 comic was published by DC in Oct-Nov, 1972 and has a page in the back explaining who the artist, writer and editor are for those who didn't know them. Berni Wrightson was just beginning to receive recognition as an artist at that time.
This is an unread copy that's been in our collection since the day it came out. It has great cover gloss, square corners, minor foxing above the "20 cents" on the front cover and on the top right of the back cover. A near mint copy was listed at $180 as of 2004 and is likely more now.
We try to grade fairly and feel this should be graded at near mint. We're listing it at a conservative starting price considering its condition--a really wonderful, crisp copy for your collection.
