Elizabeth Bradley England Tapestry needlepoint TOBY the PUG Dog and Contented Cat Framed Completed

by

pugWe’re delighted to be offering a group of completed Elizabeth Bradley English tapestry kits from her Victorian Animals series. BEAUTIFULLY hand done, the needlepoint quality is outstanding. Instant handcrafted gallery for your home!  New kits alone are $230, mounting and framing easily $200, and then there’s the hours and hours of needlepointing to bring these to you ready to hang.cat

Each has been professionally framed under glass with an elegant rich burl wood frame, and measure 19″ x 19″.  Frames are excellent but somebody piled these on top of each other to transport them so there are a few areas of scratch marks on each from the screws that touched them.

These beautiful needlepoints are available in our ebay store connectibles.

Later German engineers cracked the system and also provided an assembler for the machine. Later even a C compiler followed. An external memory module slot was available. A cost-reduced redesign with more memory, the PC-1500A.  Available in the connectibles ebay store.

Huck Gee Kid Robot Barneys Marc Jacobs Skullhead Figure NRFB New Limited Ed Rare

by

huck geeHuck Gee is a San Francisco-based illustrator, graffiti & graphic artist and toy designer. He has collaborated with Kidrobot on many series and individual runs of acclaimed toys.
 
Pictured here is a Kidrobot‘s 100% authentic 12-inch Super Toy “Skullhead”  figure created by artist Huck Gee. It is a limited edition RARE work produced exclusively by Kidrobot for high-end fashion retailer Barneys New York. Master Huck Gee’s signature Skullhead is immaculately dressed by one of the world’s most famous fashion designers – Marc Jacobs, who supplied the actual fabric used in his Men’s Spring 2005 collection to ensure authenticity.
 
The toy is packaged in an individually numbered black box that is patterned after the Barney’s New York signature black shopping bag. Package includes a ring, 2 bracelets, a velvet storage bag and a Skullhead sword. The sword is rather SHARP, so THIS ARTIST TOY IS NOT FOR THE USE OF CHILDREN. Only 250 such toys were made, and this one is numbered 96/250. The term “rare” is often tossed around in descriptions, but in this case the term absolutely applies. May be a long time before another Marc Jacobs figure is available again.
 
Condition:

  • Figure has never been removed from original packaging and is mint new condition.
  • Box has wear and tear.
  • Original retail cost was $295.

This and many other great items are available in our ebay connectibles store.
