Yep, that's it!

 

Good old broadcast sports! That poor ski jumper became famous, but not the way he wanted to.

 

I remember watching a man by the name of Evel Knievel on that show.

 

My Christmas present to myself this year. DeVilbiss c.1927 dauber bottle with jeweled foot.



Shown with one of its cousins (also c.1927) that came to live with me earlier this year.

 

NICE!

Some pictures of things I found but never photographed: a Royal Copenhagen little baby bear
and a Steuben crystal bear. The little whale tooth end is real tooth...and the image search did not want to cough up. my guess is it's a Native piece, (David Fine IIRC) but they're running scared of ivory.

 

Hawksbill turtle............. not native from around here...

 

Caribbean area and critically endangered. I went looking. They alas were the shell source for tortioseshell jewelry.

Merry Christmas to you, that is a beautiful piece (so is the cousin)

 

that is pretty cool Tiquer, a flash back from the 1970s

 

I think they're gorgeous, but I can't help also thinking how easy they would be for a cat to knock over. And with that tassel on the bulb...

 

nice family !!!!!

 

...& that is why we have always had dogs.

Truthfully, not many of my bottles are sitting out, mostly because I don't want to dust them.

 

A woman of sound principles.
