Vintage UK MORTAR CASE Hard Green Plastic, Strap, Cap! - eBay (item 310076424032 end time Aug-23-08 18:46:49 PDT)This vintage 81mm mortar case of tough dark green plastic with a screw-on lid and sturdy strap is marked, "C868, 1 Cartridge, 81mm Mortar M821, FUZ MOF-M734, For Mortar M252, Lot RFG88F009-028, UN 0321" and "UK Military Explosive 1.2E" and some little numbers I can't read.
It's empty, no mortar shell in it now, and ought to make a great storage container for something or other. Maps? Arrows? What do you think?
17-Inch Stuffed Animal APE SOLDIER Doll Military Outfit - eBay (item 310075896194 end time Aug-21-08 18:40:17 PDT)
Why this handsome fellow who could be an ape or chimp is wearing a khaki soldier outfit is beyond me, but he's cute. The ear tag says, "Shalom Toy Co., Inc., STC©."
The butt tag front says, "Shalom Toy Co., Inc.© Brooklyn, N.Y. 11232, Lic# N.Y. Conn. 42020 Maine 218 Mass. Ohio 110 PA 5493 RC 5492." The butt tag back says, "All New Materials, Contents, Polyester Filling, Made in China."
He leans forward in his permanent sitting position, refused to perk up and smile for his picture-taking. He has little nubs that look like moles on his right upper lip and above his left eyebrow. Very realistic somehow. Want to take him home with you?
Old 1937 FEED'N THE KITTY Board Game Selchow & Righter! - eBay (item 310075174295 end time Aug-18-08 19:23:46 PDT)This vintage board game says, "Feed'n the Kitty, The Cat's Meow. No. 75 Manufactured by Selchow & Righter Co., New York, N.Y. Made in U.S.A." This is the company that made Parcheesi.
According to the directions, it's a game of skill and chance. "This is a fast moving, hilarious, easy-to-play game, embodying both skill and chance for old and young alike--suitable for 2, 3, or 4 players."
There are supposed to be 60 white poker chips; there are 63. Instead of 20 red and 20 blues, there are 19 of each. (You could mark an extra white one with red or blue, or use a couple buttons.) The only thing you need to supply are 2 dice--1 red and 1 white.
I was looking for the white and black kitties, expecting something like a cat in some way, then discovered they are the little cups. Of course!
Antique Victorian CAST IRON CANDLE BRACKET Lantern Arm! - eBay (item 310075173132 end time Aug-18-08 19:16:50 PDT)This antique cast iron candle or candle lantern bracket is very ornate and eye-catching. It would swing in a half circle away from the wall. I see no maker's mark.
The round support for the candle unscrews from the support arm. You could put a wide glass chimney or fancy globe over the candle flame and the candle could still burn by breathing through the bottom holes.
Otherwise, just plunk a big fat candle there and enjoy.
