Lot #245 (Sale Order 245 of 350)

Turn of the century title, if not slightly earlier--no copyright date, black and white illustrations. Wear to covers, rounding of corners, browning of pages, other flaws--but for all of that, better than these books usually come.

Metal one half bell shaped advertising clock--we have seen it attributed to New Haven Clock Co, but it is not so marked. With pendulum, no key (big deal!). 13" long, 12 1/2" tall, approx 6 1/2" deep.

Gorgeous plaster female nude

Lot #268 (Sale Order 268 of 350)

This first appears to be a lamp, and it is, but it isn't--and was not intended to be. Where the immodest young lady is staring down into pool, someone has cored out from underneath and put a socket for a lamp bulb. There are no wires connecting to this, however. Approx 14 1/2" tall. Paint is good on this lissome lady, and, in fact, over most of the piece, with just a few small flakes. Highly desirable piece!

Phoenix Insurance Co framed sign

Lot #343 (Sale Order 343 of 350)

Lot #349 (Sale Order 349 of 350)

Just under 34" tall. With glass ashtray. Again, paint is faded and worn, but these ashtray stands just aren't coming up for sale very much these days.

Lovely oak 36" plant stand

Lot #350 (Sale Order 350 of 350)

Pretty quarter-sawn boards on top surface, which has a bit of fading and staining (who cares, it's oak and will take a refinish, right?). Barley twist legs. What wouldn't look good sitting on this stand?
