THE FIRST FOUR TOYS DALE PURCHASED
DECADES AGO...VERY NEAT COLLECTOR AND DISPLAY ITEMS
1WW - VERY NICE SMALL WOOD HAND WITH THUMB BETWEEN FINGERS
I believe from the Vietnam era, at least that is what Dale thought when
he purchased it. Almost 3 3/4" tall. Very nice grained
darker wood, with many small stones affixed to the cuff area, a few
missing. If you look up this gesture online, it seems to be not so
nice a gesture, called "The Fig". Beyond that, I have no other
information on it. Just came out of the collection of Vietnam
items Dale purchased over the years. $35
Sale Price $20
5WW - WWII CHILD'S O.D. GREEN WOOD 75mm GUN - CANNON
Approximately 13 1/2" long x 5 3/4" wide at the wheels x 6" tall.
Really neat toy that articulates. All wood, painted O.D. green, with a
white painted 75MM and star on top. The wheels rotate. $100
Sale Price $75
7WW - AUCTION CATALOG OF DALE'S PERSONAL AVIATION
COLLECTION This is a 93 page + cover catalog that we
produced for our October 1990 mail order auction of Dale's personal
collection. It consisted of a large variety of aviation material,
including 50+ painted leather jackets. Lots of black & white
photos, and color photos of the leather jackets. Also some great
and interesting information. Also included is the Prices Realized
sheet. This is an
invaluable reference catalog.
$25 each
8WW - WWI FOB OR PART OF MEDAL (I BELIEVE) WITH 1914/1915
DATES AND BLUE AND WHITE RIBBON The brass part below
the bow appears to be a soldier's hat and is 5/8" wide x about 1/4"
tall with the dates "1914 / 1915" and on the back is the number "9".
Really not sure if this was part of a medal or part of a fob.
Totally unknown to me and not sure what country this is from -
Germany?. $18
Sale Price $10
9WW - WOOD PLAQUE U.S.A. SEAL OF OUR COUNTRY
Another item off our walls. A really beautiful and quality seal
affixed to a shield shaped piece of painted wood. The rendition
is quite precise and very well made. Not sure of the material,
but a magnet does not stick to it. Also unsure of its age, but it
does have some. I just put it in this section as a more vintage
item, not an older antique. 14" tall x 12" wide. Hangs from
a wire on back. There is a vertical crack in the shield, but is solid
and looks like it was repaired some time in the past. (the photo
of the back side is black; does not have a green tinge). $35
Sale Price $20
10WW - WWII HOME FRONT RED-WHITE-BLUE CHENILLE LADIES BED JACKET
This is a great WWII 1940's era Home Front ladies item, not homemade, like a bed
jacket. The tag inside is "High Grade / CANDLEWICKS AND CHENILES". The other
side of the tag lists Lot and Style numbers, and Size 16. Looks a lot smaller
than a size 16. I'm not going to list all measurements, because I am selling
this for display only. About 23" from neck to bottom on the back side. About
16" across the mid section at the button level (32" circumference). Overall in
great shape, with some brown spots up around the neck area, perhaps from
storage, hanger, etc. Mostly white chenille with red and blue stripes. Two
pockets on the front lower area. Very neat display item. My deceased militaria
dealer husband purchased this item in 1998. $65
Sale Price $40
11WW - WWII ERA CIGAR FLAG...A FUN NOVELTY ITEM
The cigar case is 5 1/4" long. It has paper that is made to look like
cigar leaves, just like a real cigar. It has a paper label on front
"CIGAR FAN / Made in ???". I cannot make out where it was made, but
many came from Japan, if this is a WWII era item. It could be
earlier. Does not look like the word "Japan". You pull the end out
and with it comes a folded flag which is 4 1/4" long, out of an
interior pink tube. It folds open and if fully open, which I did not
do, it would create an entire circle of fans. I don't this saw much
use. Handle with care. If you are going to open it to use as a
display, it should be done with care. Wonderful, patriotic item.
$45
Sale Price $35
12MCW - WWII JAPANESE MATCH BOX COVER Found
this of all places, in a box of Civil War cigars, at the bottom of a
storage box. Never even looked under the paper on top. When
I did, I discovered this item and the cigars. This is a match box
cover only, no insert or matches. It is kept stuffed with some
cardboard to keep it from getting damaged. The front has a couple
of bombers and some Japanease characters. The sides have
characters, as does the rear. 2 3/4 x 1 1/2" x 5/16". It is
a medium blue grey color, and overall in good shape. I don't read
Japanese so can't tell you what it says. $35
Sale Price $22
13WW - ANTIQUE TIN LITHO NEGRO GOOGLE EYES MECHANICAL
PIN-PULL TOY This is a really neat and quite rare vintage black
Americana pin that’s shaped like an African native. Just found a bag with
these five that Dale bought decades ago. When you pull the string at the
bottom, the eyes go crazy and move (but have to be very careful when pulling,
because the string is likely fragile). Really a neat tin litho piece probably
from the early 1900s. The back of the pin is marked "Made In Germany" and the
pin measures about 2 3/8" wide x 2 1/2" tall. ONLY
HAVE ONE LEFT...works...$35
14WW - WWI UNITED STATES FELT PENNANT
I'm pretty sure this dates from WWI. Measures 21 1/2 x 39".
This was obviously hanging on a wall for some time, because the front
is a bit faded and muted. The back side has more color and
vibrancy. Overall excellent condition, with scattered moth holes.
The flag has 43 stars, but I'm not sure if it was done for accuracy,
other than putting a billowing flag in the corner. The words
"UNITED STATES" is in the middle and an eagle standing on a rock is in
the lower right corner. Very nice patriotic wall hanging.
$100 Sale Price $50
15WW - FABULOUS WWII HOMEFRONT DART BOARD TOY Titled
"The GAME of Thrills" "BOMBS AWAY!" 18 x 18" square x 1/2"+"
tall. This is a cork dart board, inside its original cardstock
sleeve/cover. "PRODUCT OF toy creations, inc." and "MADE IN U.S.A" on
the front. The cork board is in pretty nice condition, with great
graphics and has definitely been played. The cardstock cover is
in rough condition, browning and has many tears. Just a really
neat item I found in storage. $100
Sale Price $65
 
16WW - WWII SOLDIER PORTRAIT CLASS PAPERWEIGHT
3 5/8" in diameter. Encloses an actual enlistedman's photo portrait,
in color or tinted. Excellent condition. One thumb size portion of
the photo on the left (to his right) is slightly dented, and must
have happened when made. Can't see how it would have been done
otherwise, since it's sealed and does not appear to have been opened.
Does not affect the man's face. Nice looking guy. Special Home front
item.
$45
Sale Price $25
17WW - WWII PATRIOTIC PLYWOOD PHOTO ALBUM
May have been a kit. The graphics are factory good, yet the
wood itself seems a bit less than professional, yet very good...and
substantial. 9 1/4 x 11 1/2". Forest scene on the front.
The rear cover has a very large, complex patriotic display.
Centers with red, white and blue shield with "PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN".
Filled with every type of national symbols - planes, steel mills,
cities, Statue of Liberty, tank, soldier, sailor and more. Cover
has leather lace hinges, one broken. So very typical of the
culture of the era. All photos were removed, but the notations
indicate this family was from Wisconsin, Milwaukee and Doylestown.
$25
Sale Price $15
18WW - VERY NICE CROSSED RIFLES WITH EAGLE BUTTON HANGING AND RWB
RIBBON - 2 1/2" wide x 1 1/2" tall. Not
sure if this is WWI or WWII period or earlier. A very nice
original pin. $45
Sale Price $30
19WW - "V" FOR VICTORY SHAPED METAL
FLUORESCENT LIGHT FIXTURE
For hanging on a wall behind a store counter or bar. Almost 20"
tall. Red and blue vertical arms and white background.
Bulbs (not present) faced the arms. Cord to plug in. The
little push button is loose, and we don't know if it works.
Never tested for function, but I suspect it needs a little TLC to get
it to work. Has 4" diameter Victory/Star/..../Wreath
decal on cross arm. Fantastic item for a WWII Home Front
display. $125
Sale Price $95
20WW - WWII "VICTORY" SALT & PEPPER SHAKERS -
2 1/2" tall pair of salt and pepper shakers with a large "V" on
one side and the dot-dot-dot-dash symbol on the other. Almost
all paint is there and they are a cute set for the Homefront.
Had cork stoppers, one missing. $50
Sale Price
$36
21WW - WWII RUPTURED DUCK TIE SLIDE About
2 3/8" wide. A crisp insignia on a fancy tie slide. Came
from an original store card that stated "WARRENTED 14 KT. GOLD PLATE".
No markings. Unused store inventory. For honorably
discharged serviceman. $25
Sale Price $15
22WW - TWO WWII PATRIOTIC PORTRAITS IN EAGLE FRAMES
Framed in dark walnut with pressed composition gold eagles on top. Photo
reproductions are of FDR and MacArthur. Mats around the pictures have all
types of patriotic designs. The four stars on MacArthur's frame each have
some broken off. The frames and photo mats are identical. Very good
overall condition, showing age and some darkening. FDR's is lighter
overall. 9 1/2 x 11 3/4" frames. The backs have stand up supports or
accommodations for a nail. These were never expensive when new.
Probably sold at a dime store. Nice patriotic items. (There are some
variations in the colors/tones due to lighting, and lots of reflections because
of the glass in the frame). This sale price should be for only one!
But it is for The Pair...$50
Sale Price $35
23WW - FABULOUS WWII CHALK EAGLE STATUE 11
1/2" tall x about 6 1/2" wide at the base x about 4" front to back at
the base. Overall very excellent condition. Red, white and
blue colors, with remnants of glitter. Across the front is "GOD
BLESS AMERICA". Some very minor paint loss, but I see no
major chips, and no repairs that I can see. $110
Sale Price $60
24WW - WWII USMC WATCH FOB This is a beautiful
piece for a US Marine. 7" long, tip to tip. The black ribbon is in
excellent condition, and the other parts are as well, although they
show normal, careful wear to the finish. Consists of a fob in the
middle, 1 1/2" wide, with the Marine Corps EGA in the middle (eagle,
globe, anchor). Around that are three enamel portions in red, white
and blue, each having a word that makes up "UNITED STATES MARINE". The
snap swivel at the top seems to function well. All in all, a very nice
original vintage WWII piece. $75
Sale Price $50
25WW - BEAUTIFUL GOLD COLOR CROSSED RIFLES PIN
I don't think this pin is old, but I can't be sure. It's so
shiny! 2" wide. Nice detail. Priced as a modern piece.
$10 Sale Price $5
27WW - WWII PERIOD GOLD COLOR EAGLE AND RED-WHITE-BLUE
SHIELD FLAG HOLDER Unsure how this attaches to the base
as shown, but it was together in storage. Someone made a display
out of it for a desk or mantle. The rear of the shield has 5 slots
for flags to stick up from. This is a very nice heavy decorator
item, and it should be easy enough for anyone to get the proper size
bolt for the bottom. 8" tall from the bottom of the decorative
"nut" to the top of the eagle's head. The shield is 3 3/4" wide at
the top. Beyond this, I have no other information. Just
something Dale purchased for our collection, and it has been in storage
for years. Missing almost no paint. $95
Sale Price $75

29WW -
WWII US V FOR VICTORY WITH FLAG PATCH
This is a WWII dark
blue V shaped patch, with a large red "V" standing "For Victory" and an
American flying flag over it. About 3" tall x 2 3/4" wide. Wool type material with the embroidery over it. The backing
is a dark blue heavy linen. Overall excellent condition. While the
backing edges are frayed, I don't think it has been sewn on to anything.
Very nice piece. $35
Sale Price $20
30WW - WWII AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION
FLASH CARDS Used
to teach aircraft identification to Ground Observer Corps members -
people who during WWII kept a constant look at the skies. The
same cards were used in combat theaters as well to teach aircrews,
ground observers, gunners, etc., how to identify enemy aircraft.
These cards are originals and are mostly 4 x 5'', white cardstock,
printed in black, showing three views of each aircraft. These
came from the Albany Air Region Ground Observer Corps. This is a
nice sampling of the cards used.
Have set of 9 different... $15
Sale Price $8
31WW - WWII MAC ARTHUR PATRIOTIC CIGAR BOX
Full size box with surprising design. Every edge has royal
blue paper covering with pattern of tiny white stars. Box itself
is covered with medium brown...simulated wood paper. Title on the
top if "AS GOOD AS HIS NAME". Front face has "WAKE ISLAND".
Lift the lid and see inside cover reads, in red, "MAC ARTHUR CIGAR / AS
GOOD AS THE NAME...EVERY PUFF A JAP REBUFF". At each corner is a
small "V" + code for Victory. Some light damp stains inside.
Overall very good-excellent. Exterior just has some rubbed spots.
Dale kept this for at least 30 years. $30
Sale Price $15
32WW - OUTSTANDING WWII PATRIOTIC
PUNCH BOARD "DIVE BOMBER"
The
top third is filled with a full color Army aircraft below the
multi-color title and flanked by U.S. flag punch-outs. Rest of
card allows choice of star roundel punch-outs or pull tabs from a
massive vertical stack down center. These punch boards were a
popular and inexpensive gambling device found in most gas stations,
etc. Superb patriotic graphics. 10'' wide, 18" high.
Practically unused. Lacks fold-out cardstock support on back
which held it up on a counter. Top ranked Home front piece.
$175
Sale Price $95
 
33WW - C.1970 SOUVENIR SCARF FROM RIO DE JANERIO WITH JET
FIGHTER PLANE 29 x 29" square, including fringe. Light pink, silk-like material.
It is shown folded into a square of approx. 14¾", and was sold that
way. I believe it is hand colored. It shows a USAF jet fighter plane
flying over the seaport of Rio De Janeiro. Excellent overall
condition; no tears that I see. Just needs ironing. A couple very
small, very light water stains, at the edges; really insignificant.
This was found stored with other military related items such as
pennants, pillow covers, souvenir scarves, of varying periods.

36WW - HUGE 1940's UNITED STATES MAP WITH LOTS OF INFORMATION
Believe this is
WWII 1940's period. There is no date, unfortunately, but going by the
information listed, it just makes sense it is from the 40's. If you look
closely at some areas in each state, you can also determine what areas exist now
that didn't exist then, and figure some of it out. A whopping 41 x 54", folded
in storage down to 10 1/4 x 13 1/2". Printed on heavier paper, it's in really
great shape overall with some parted areas along the folds. This map consists
of a huge United States in the main portion, along with a smaller U.S. showing
Air Mail routes, and another showing Minerals and Agriculture. Other boxes show
states and territories. The main text box has a large "UNITED STATES / Produced
under the direction of Alexander Gross, F.R.G.S. / PUBLISHED BY / GEOGRAPHIA MAP
CO. 11 John St., NEW YORK". Below that are references for Railroads, Canals,
Scenes of Battle. Tons of info on this map; it is quite large, and will need
space to display it. $30
