(A) Glad you got this far? Your
reward: a "stunning" (my favorite Ebay term) Revere
(Rome, N.Y.) log carrier for the fireplace or... newspaper and
magazine holder for your favorite armchair. Either way, it will
be sure to delight your eye and impress your guests, which of
course is so much of what this collecting craziness is all about!
18 inches long, 15 wide and about 15 high, made of bronze and
chrome plated brass, with a black lacquered wooden handle! A
true icon of the era! (e-mail

(B) Signed Weller American pottery,
beautifully colored and graceful vases about 9 inches tall. (e-mail
Jack for a price)
|
(C) I've got an extra hard-to-find
copy of this out-of-print book about Kem Weber... (e-mail
Jack for a price)

(D) Gee, now doesn't that table
have a familiar look to it? Hmmmm... by one of the Hoffman boys?
By, uh, Powell? No, Silly Goose, it's Howell! I've had this pair
(pair? could he have two indeed?) in my "private
collection" for quite some time, now I'm letting them go,
but not for free. They're in extremely fine condition,
stand about 19 tall, 13 across. (e-mail

(E) And while we're talkin' Moderne,
how about this French model? You like? Stands a bit taller than
the Howell table. There's a bit of wrinkling to the base, where
old Pierre rested his feet whilst perusing the newspaper. (e-mail

(F) How... heavy! And tall
(27 inches, about 13 wide). Gorgeous turquoise color, classic
from the era. Mint condition... (e-mail
Jack for a price)

(G) This set of two pillows and
a throw probably were never used, they're in mint-mint condition.
The pillows measrue about 14 x 5, and the throw, 28 square. Made
of felt, with which appear to be airbrushed colorations on the
petals. (e-mail

(H) 14 1/2 high, these hard-to-find
American Art Deco andirons have their original chrome plating
intact and in excellent condition! Nice pyramiding, huh?
Nice enough pyramiding, I'd
say, to go off to Japan! SOLD!!!
|
(I) What collection is complete
without one of these tuxedoed jesters? My penguin is signed by
the French artist Geo Conde, and he stands 18 inches high on
his stylized block of ice. (e-mail

(J) Sexist pigs get ready -- on
the other side of this newspaper stand, which is CLEARLY male-oriented,
are the words "WIFE'S SIDE." At least this gives her
something to focus on besides wiping the drool from the kid's
face. It's about a foot tall, and all aluminum. (e-mail
Jack for a price)
|
(K) You're wondering what this
is doing here? It was my grandfather's, let's leave it at that!
Signed Royal Doulton, of course, and with a sterling stopper.
It's about 7 inches high, and that slightly loaded fellow on
the front, I guess, is none other than John Barleycorn. (e-mail
Jack for a price)

(L) This piece is worthy of Madison
Avenue tony shops -- where, a mere twenty-five years ago, I first
saw an identical box. It's a virtual American Art Deco icon,
made by the Grammes Company of Allentown, PA, home of belching
steel factories and apparently one gifted designer. Inside the
lid is a most fetching Art Deco lady's "head shot."
It's about 9 inches wide, four high, and 8 deep, made of solid
brass with enamel paint in the recessed areas. This one is in
very fine condition (it's velvet lined, as well). (e-mail
Jack for a price)
|
(M) Modernist candelabra, solid
brass, marked GB. 12 inches wide, 6 3/4 tall. (e-mail
Jack for a price)
|
(N) One of two matching aluminum
and nickel-plated brass towel bars. 23 inches wide, they project
9 inches. (e-mail
Jack for a price)
|
(O) Clarice Cliff's artistic genius
graces this plate, about 8x10 inches.
