I picked up this item, 25% off, for a total of $15.50. It's in good condition, and I was surprised at the prices horn boxes bring.

Now please tell us what the heck it is ...........

 

Wanna keep you guessing..... Lol

 

Cat toy!

 

Noritake dresser doll according to the internet. Never seen anything like it. Now tell us... Where did you find it?!

Debora

 

Reminds me of a cookie jar

 

It is described as a dresser jar but I believe it was a humidor. You don't see it often in this decoration. I have attached a photo of the plain decoration.
It was found on FBM.

 

Well, that was a huge score! Congrats!

 

I normally not drawn to clowns, but I actually think this is a stunner!

 

I get a commedia dell'arte feel from it.

 

Finds for my collection
Mask by George Pennier, the face alone is 11" x 14" $75
Eagle talking stick? Not signed. $38
Raven rattle not signed. $42
Rattle with stand by Sam Shaughnessy $68
Happy happy boy here.

 

I like Georges work.....luv the fish ! ... Score !!!!! ..... big Score !

The Eagle is a dance wand , that someone has decorated with an Iroquois medicine wheel and feathers that came off a Plains headdress , dyed to look like Eagle feathers. You paid up for it !

I've seen worse Raven rattles. Likely from the 70's....., the artist was a better carver than painter....... but still, Score !

Sam has brought you a lovely ThunderBird rattle. It's a good carving by him. circa 80's....maybe later....... another Score !!!!!

Yup , you're right to be happy !!!!!!

 

Yep!

 

The bottom rattle would be my pick of the group. But where I live there is a LOT of indigenous (Haida) art, vintage and contemporary to see and like.

 

Thank you, 3 out of 4, not so bad lol

 

not bad at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Finally! Posting from my tablet. Sorry about the lousy photo but the lighting stinks. I got out of an antique/jewelry store for $15 today for three pieces. She tried to insist that the pin, not shown, was silver. I told her absolutely not, since the manufacturer (Boucher!) didn't make any other than maybe a few WWII pieces. She'd misread the design number as a silver mark. The other two were true finds - Renoir signed copper and carved dark olive bakelite. The Renoir is signed and the other ponged nicely and turned the cotton swab dark brown with baking soda. The color wasn't relevant with a smell like that.

 

I wana see the pin, I love Boucher!

Just in case you don't know... scroll down to Boucher on the following link and look for the number of yours to find out the year it was made
