LLADRO figurine LOVE BOAT Retired LE 5343 Artist SIGNED

by

Lladro Love BoatThis was an excellent weekend for the Connectibles Treasure Hunters. In addition to a large auction with many fantastic items for our eBay store, we managed to pick up an amazing collection of Llardro figurines. These Llardros are fresh from an avid local collector. Many musicians and clowns are included in the group.  We got a good deal, so we’re happy to pass these along to you.

This dramatic piece is the LOVE BOAT AmorLladro figurine, “Paseo en Barca.” Limited to only 3,000, ours is signed on the base by the artist Francisco Catala. Remarkable detail: 3 figures in a boat with a dog, and a lace umbrella that screws on and off. EXCELLENT new condition. This would make a  STRIKING addition to any LLADRO collection.

We have many other great pieces that I am sure you will want to check out while reviewing the beautiful workmanship. We have many great items in the connectibles store.

Simon Halbig K*R Bisque DOLL 6″ Dollhouse Germany

by

Simon HalbigSimon Halbig2Wow, what a cute little bisque doll! Here is a charming antique TINY 6-1/2″ Child Doll marked Simon Halbig K Star R for Kammer & Reinhardt. Made in Germany, Bisque head, sleep eyes, open mouth with teeth, Composition 5-piece jointed body with painted stockings & strap shoes. The mechanism for attaching the legs to the torso is interesting, as shown in the photos.

It is so much fun finding little treasures like this in such out-of-the-way places. By the way, Simon Halbig was a German company that started making dolls around 1870 and continued for about 50 years. Any other doll companies purchased their doll heads from S&H. Kammer & Reinhardt, the manufacturer of this doll, was one of the companies that purchased doll heads from S&H. It is excellent to know that outsourcing was thriving almost 150 years ago. Who knew?

Antique Child Dish Tea Set 23p Victorian Box RS Prussia

by

We sell new items in our eBay store. However, our really BIG business is our mostly vintage collectibles in our eBay store Connectibles.  This is an example of a rare item we picked from a local collector last week.Child's Tea Service  This is a beautiful antique Child’s service for 6, with an original box featuring Victorian design and French graphics. According to the book R. S. Prussia: The Formative Years by Leland & Carol Marple on page 166, this set is attributed to R.S. Prussia. The set handles, spouts, and other components have been attributed to the Reinhold Schlegelmilch plant in Tillowitz. Circa 1894 – 1905, this box probably dates it to the earlier date.

(This is one) of approximately 1700 items in our store. Our items represent many categories of collectibles. We pride ourselves on finding rare and vintage items from local and regional collectors. Since our recent retirement, this quest to rescue these items and bring them to our loyal customers has become a real passion. I guess you could say it is one of our contributions to the green recycling effort.

WTaeyang-Raynee have fallen in love with these beautiful Pullip Dolls. Pullip is a fashion doll that expresses today’s present feeling. She stands 30cm tall (about 12 inches), and she is fully articulated. The body is about 9 inches tall (1:6 scale), the size of many fashion dolls such as Barbie and Jenny. Pullip can open and close her eyes and look side to side. A new Pullip Fashion doll is issued every month in limited numbers. Each doll comes with a unique outfit and accessories, a trading card, and a doll stand.

The Pullip dolls by Jun Planning GROOVE are not as well known, but they have a powerful Japanese style and evoke the very popular Blythe doll—sort of a Blythe granddaughter! Quite remarkable to see, and highly collectible. Please take a look at these beautiful dolls (and others) at our eBay Store Connectibles/
