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?

Vintage 10-Inch CAST IRON PIG Outdoor Candle Lantern! - eBay (item 310026185869 end time Mar-01-08 21:07:52 PST) This outdoor candle lantern is a cast iron holey pig. It's a real attention grabber. I see no maker's mark anywhere. A platform in the bottom belly holds a tea light or candle. A sturdy metal ring on the back hangs it up or it stands firm on four legs.
He's ten inches long and weighs almost seven pounds. His snout and ears have some light rust, but he's built solid.
Does this vintage cast iron pig outdoor candle lantern make you smile? It tickles me.

1999 HARLEY-DAVIDSON WALRUS Stuffed Animal in Blk Vest! - eBay (item 310026159303 end time Mar-01-08 18:07:21 PST) This Harley-Davidson walrus is wearing a black vinyl vest with the Harley-Davidson Motorcycles logo on the left front and a bigger one on the back. The butt tag says, "Official Licensed Products ©1999 H-D Produced by Cavanagh Group International, Roswell, GA 30076. Made in China."
He's ten inches tall, quite soft and in very good condition. The price tag plastic is still in his left hand or fin. There's a small hole in the right vest, possibly where a pin would go? The finish on his black plastic nose has scratches showing loss of color.
