Little Pullip GOTH DOLL Lot 2 VAMPIRE R & Cornice

by


Love big-eye Japanese fashion dolls like Blythe? The Little Pullip dolls by Jun Planning are not as well known, but they have a very strong Japanese style to them, and they evoke the very popular Blythe doll – sort of a Blythe granddaughter! Quite remarkable to see, and highly collectible.

Shown here is a set of TWO VERY goth retired Little Pullip & Dal dolls that display so well together.  Mint & never removed from original boxes.  Approximately 5″ tall, these also come with a photo pin of the doll’s face included as an accessory.

INCLUDES:

  • CORNICE with flaming red floor length hair, fantastic look!
  • Vampire R – platinum hair, caped costume.
  • Both dolls come with display stands.

Rumor has it that Pullip dolls are no longer going to be produced, making these retired dolls even MORE collectible.  Our other collections of Little Pullip sold out immediately; we only have a few of each style, so don’t delay and end up disappointed! Little Pullip does NOT have movable eyes and is not fully articulated like the larger dolls, but she’s
Cute, Collectible, and Easy to Carry!  We carry many Pullip dolls in our connectibles store.

by

We’re selling a terrific (and HUGE lot) of over 100 vintage 1950-60’s Salt and Pepper Shaker sets, fresh from a local collector. Pictured here is one of my favorite sets, a 1962 John F Kennedy S&P set by Arrow, marked on bottom of the base.  The Rocking chair is the pepper, and President Kennedy is the salt.  The set is 3 1/2 inches tall and displays beautifully.  Please look at our connectibles store for many more S&P sets.

Salt and Pepper shakers are one of the easiest collections to start – they are readily available and mostly inexpensive to buy.  I have included a little blurb here for the The Novelty Salt &  Pepper Shakers Club, which is great place for beautiful pictures and much information on the hobby.  This is a collectors club comprised of members from around the world with  various backgrounds who have one thing in common – the love of collecting novelty and figural salt  and pepper shakers. Collectively we have  a lot of education and friendship to share.

Their purpose is to provide services and education to people interested in the history  and the collection of novelty and figural salt and pepper shakers.

They host a national annual convention plus many local chapters have meetings and events throughout the  year. A quarterly Newsletter and a Membership Roster is included with membership.

ABOUT Lilliput Lane:
Founded in 1982, Lilliput Lane leads the world in the production of hand crafted hand painted miniature cottages. Most Lilliput Lane models are based on real cottages and begin as a series of sketches and photographs. A mould is made from a wax model and the actual figurine is made from Amorphite, a gypsum material which allows such great detail to be reproduced. The model is then past to the painting studio where trained artists bring the model to life. Once the model has been painted any special embellishments such as people or animals are added.

WPA history Graphic Art PRINT Division Limited Editions

by

After the crash of 1929 and the Depression that followed, 25% of the nation’s work force was unemployed. The Works Progress Administration/Federal Arts Project (known as WPA / FAP) was formed in 1935 as a work-relief program for artists who were admitted after establishing financial need and displaying artistic ability. In the 8 years of it’s existence, 1935-1943 when the program ended due to WW II, 5,000 muralists, painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers and poster designers were provided a wage.

The Graphic Arts Division was established for printmakers and provided an extraordinary opportunity for creating a body of accessible, affordable public art limited edition prints that reflected the social mission to improve and change conditions. Subjects chosen for the work included typical scenes from American daily life, both rural and urban, as well as industrial scenes that have become icons of the era. Some worked with realism, others worked in styles of Cubism & Surrealism. Photos below show some of the rich and varied prints from the New York City Graphic Arts collection that we can offer.

Regardless of style, each print was only produced in LIMITED EDITIONS of up to 25 per image. Some prints are signed and stamped, some are not, but all that we present on EBAY have been authenticated and documented as original. The program ended in 1943 with our entry into the war, as the defense industry employed so many American Workers that unemployment was virtually a thing of the past. The WPA, which was no longer needed, ended.

Many of the prints at that time were destroyed or sold as scrap material. Some collections were fortunately saved by far-sighted private collectors and provide a fascinating look at a most unique time in our nation’s history.  A variety of WPA prints are available in the connectibles store.

WPA Museum Extension Project Print CHARLES II Framed

by

We’re selling some interesting original authentic Works Project Administration WPA art from the 1930’s. This print from the MUSEUM EXTENSION PROJECT, which was a section that was created to help public schools obtain visual education aids designed to give “life and reality to the things children study.”

The print depicts the historical costumes titled CHARLES II – LOUIS XIV, 1660 AD to 1715 AD. Plate No 58 from the series.

The print particulars are:

  • It is matted and framed under glass. Glass was highly reflective making photography difficult; any shading you see is from reflection, NOT on print!
  • Visible print size measures 18″ x 24″, total size framed is 26″ x 32″.

Pelham Puppet 1960’s WIZARD Made in England

by

New Year’s day is always a great day for searching out unique collectibles at the many auctions in the Northeast.  It has become a tradition, to hold large auctions on New Year’s Day.  For example, the white suit worn by John Lennon on the Beetles‘ “Abbey Road” album cover sold at a Norwalk, Connecticut auction for $46,000.  Take a look, very exciting!.

That purchase was a little out of our league, however we were able to acquire an interesting collection of vintage puppets, fresh from a wonderful local collection. Pictured here is an original authentic 1960’s PELHAM PUPPETS SL20 WIZARD in the original box.

  • Excellent 12″ version, molded head, elaborate costume and details.
  • EXCELLENT condition, shown as found in box. I’m not sure it was ever used, possibly was just on display.
  • Box has printed instructions on sides explaining how to take out and return puppet to box.
  • TERRIFIC addition to any display, wonderful design.

Please take a look at the rest of this wonderful collection at connectibles.
