The Rare and the Unusual.....

We have lots of fun researching the items that come in....

Some are weird, some are wacky and we have lots 

that are just plain ugly but unusual.

It is amazing what you can learn about a piece when you 

search Google!

Anyhow here are a few items suitable for 

the hard to buy for, or the person who has everything!

Old Cast Iron Press .... can be 

used for flowers or books or 

could be an unusual doorstop!

Now this 1945s game is Australian, made by M & L Plastics

of Melbourne - called Race Play.

It is rare and can be found in the Queen Victoria Museum

in Melbourne. 

The idea is to pull all the horses out and then turn the 

handle to bring them back in - first in wins.....

There is Phar Lap, Windbag, Carbine, Bernborough, 

Peter Pan, Shannon and Flight.

It is made of Bakelite and as you can see there is

 1 Blue horse, 2 Red, 2 Black, 2 Green and a Brown.

Four of them have docked tails due to the passage of time 

and the original box is a little worse for wear 

but the set is in working order and great for the avid collector.

This is an old unusual Builders Chalk line - 

carved with Frog, Lizard and Bull.....

Anyhow we hope you are having a great week!
