Ye Yes, thanks, but I don’t see a match. Also, I believe Nyform figures are made from a plasticky tree resin, which this one does not appear to be.
Thanks! Funny, I never noticed the Nyform reference on the back of the tag. I don’t believe this to be correct, as the example you linked to on...
I’m not sure what to make of this bear toy / figurine. It’s heavy, and feels solid, but damaged areas show that it’s either composition, or papier...
Thanks for your reply. I’ve had Cree beaded moosehide gauntlets before, and recognize the material. Like deer skin, but thicker and heavier. As...
I won these leather gauntlets in a country auction here in central Ontario, Canada, along with a beaded rifle case. The description said the...
Okay, thank you. At about 5” tall I thought this figure was a bit large for crested ware but I guess this stuff came in a range of sizes.
Thank you!
You see a maker’s mark? I don’t, but maybe I’m missing something obvious!

So, thanks to the remains of a paper label on one of the bookends, I was able to identify them as a product of the Grenfell Mission in Labrador,...
Yes, looks like some of these sell for good money:...
Thanks! Very similar, down to the shape of the “1” on the frontpiece. Cataract, too. Could be from the same fire Company!
It came from a gentleman who owns a storage locker business, who I occasionally buy items from. He finds some pretty random things in abandoned...
Does anyone here know anything about early fire helmets? Today I picked up an eight-comb Cairns & Brother “New Yorker” leather helmet that I’m...
Thanks for checking your book for these. I’ve not seen anything like them. Polar bears - such an unusual subject!
Thanks. I’ve always loved the Art Deco style, so was very happy to find these!
As I mentioned, they are wood. Here is a photo of the bottoms: [IMG]
I won these wooden polar bear bookends tonight at auction, for the princely sum of $6. They look very art deco to me, so I’m thinking they could...
