Korsteel Double Jointed Stirrup Irons 4 3/4

These Korsteel stirrup irons are brand new! I bought them several years ago from a popular online tack shop, and unfortunately they've stayed in our tack-box ever since! (It's time for someone to use and appreciate them.)

They remain in the original manufacturer's plastic bag. The stock sticker is attached and reads:
DOUBLE JOINTED STIRRUP IR
SIZE: 4.75" CLR: WHITE

Korsteel irons are heavy weight, hand-polished stainless steel. This pair has rubber covered joints for cushioned comfort, reducing stress on the rider's knees and ankles. The gripper pads are white. This pair is size 4 3/4.

Never used.

Lenox Porcelain ~ Fine Quality Giftware

Lenox Porcelain ~ Fine Quality Giftware

In 1859, Walter Scott Lenox was born in Trenton, New Jersey.  Often called "the Staffordshire of America," Trenton supported over 200 potteries near the turn of the century.  

Queen Victoria's influence was falling on the U.S. at that time too, as a love for ornate decorations began to spread among society.

By 1875, Lenox had worked as decorator and designer for several Trenton potteries, including Ott & Brewer (he was the design director) and Willets Manufacturing.  Both potteries produced a version of the cream colored, pearly glazed porcelain made popular by Irish Belleek.

Lenox Spring Dogwood Pillow Vase

In 1889, Lenox Ceramic Art Company opened, offering one of a kind pieces instead of a full line of ceramic items.  Less than ten years later, examples of the fine Lenox ware could be found in the Smithsonian Institution collection.

Lenox continues in the fine quality tradition today, offering a full line of china and giftware.  I am pleased to offer several Lenox Estate found pieces in my OLA shop.

Matchbox Cars & Trucks

Matchbox car & truck toys were originally made by Lesney Products (in the UK) sometime during 1953.  They are small in size--the size of matchbook boxes, thus the name Matchbox.  The smaller size, and excellent quality of these toys immediately made them sought-after collectibles.  The Matchbox name is now owned and manufactured by Mattel, a well-known U.S. toy manufacturer.  

The style & design of Matchbox toys were like those of real vehicles, which served to increase their collectibility.  There are all types of these interesting little toys.  Here is a sampling from what I have to offer on OLA.

Matchbox No. 24 Rolls Royce Shadow  SOLD!! 

Many Matchbox toys have opening and moving parts, which add to their interest.

Matchbox No. 64 1971 Hot Pink Slingshot Dragster  SOLD!! 

Many Matchbox toys had decals that the buyer could self-apply.  Look at the little person in the Pink Slingshot dragster above.  So cute.

Matchbox No. 46 1971 Stretcha Fetcha Ambulance

No. 74 Red Daimler Red Double Decker Bus ~ ESSO Advertising  SOLD!! 

1969 Matchbox Lamborghini Marzal No. 20  SOLD!! 

They produced a number of cool Fantasy Mobiles too, like the one below.

Matchbox Flying Bug No. 11 ~ 1972 Volkswagen Bug  SOLD!! 

There are some great construction vehicles too!  Such as the 1973 SuperFast Rod Roller No. 21  SOLD!! 

They made a huge assortment of trucks, too!  

Matchbox No. 7 FORD Refuse Truck, rolls & tilts!  SOLD!! 

Matchbox toys make great gifts!  Affordable prices, small in size!

I have only about 20 Matchbox toys left, so if you collect these fine little die cast playthings, check my OLA store today!  I have 2 collector's cases to offer as well, so if you are interested, please contact me.    Many thanks for reading, and shopping on the BEST Site on the web -- OLA:  Where Buyers & Sellers Meet.

Blue Morpho Butterfly Wing Jewelry

Blue Morpho Butterfly Wing Jewelry

6 Link Bracelet

Just listed!  Blue Morpho Butterfly Wing Jewelry.  Made using a reverse painting process, most often beach scenes, are mounted on bits of real Blue Morpho Butterfly wings.  The jewelry from my collection date from the 1920s or so to the 50s.  

                                            

Large Sterling Ring

As I understand it, these pieces were mostly offered as souvenirs in South America--places like Rio in Brazil.  I have always been attracted to iridescence, and just couldn't resist collecting this type of jewelry for a while. The flash of blue is stunning.  The beach scenes romantic.

Pin

I like the unique detail of this jewelry; since the reverse paint process is done by hand, each piece is different.

Necklace

Can't you just see Lucille Ball decked out in this stuff?

Bracelet

Blue Morpho Butterfly wing jewelry is still being made today!  There are many examples of contemporary art jewelry available on the net.

Thanks for checking in with OLA!  Our Sellers welcome YOU!

Goebel Hummel Figurines

Goebel Hummel Figurines

Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel signed her noted agreement with the porcelain firm, W. Goebel Porzellanfahrik,on January 9th, 1935, which gave the porcelain company permission to turn Sister Hummel’s drawings into M. I. Hummel figurines. 

Hummel Figurine # 015/0 Hear Ye Hear Ye

During World War II, the M. I. Hummel figurine production was restricted. Once the war ended, the M. I. Hummel figurines again appeared in the shops throughout Germany.

Many of what I call the Traditional Hummel Figurine is based on Bavarian culture.  Think of Heidi.

Surprise:  Traditional Hummel

I have the pleasure of offering several hundred Goebel Hummel figurines as part of a friend's estate.

Most are in excellent condition, many have original boxes.  Below is a group of Occupational Hummel Figurines.

There will be more about Goebel Hummel figurines in future blogs.
