I collect --

pre-1950 Popeye (Thimble Theatre characters - Olive Oyl, Wimpy, etc.)

Krazy Kat toys

early Felix the Cat toys

lightning rod balls, etc.

early novelty clocks (Ansonia is my favorite)

anything vintage with a crow or raven (like Rookwood and Steiff)

I move on when the prices get too high ! !

Yes, I own a big mint Indian swirl.

sign me --- Big Indian - no braid - (Locks of Love got the braid . . . )

I also collect old fishing lures, mostly CA Clark water scouts. Also some 1/18 and 1/24 scale die cast stuff. Old signs for the garage. I really wanted to collect factory supercharged Mustangs, but the wife insists that two is enough.

lol @ "old crap"

What a wonderful dollhouse, if that's what it would be called. I've never seen anything quite like it. Never realized before how roofs and doors take away from what you can do with the interior.

wOw!

Those cars are fantastic.

Only the two though, that must be tough.

With great toys like that wonderful doll house,

I'm surprised to see you on the marble chats.

LOL,thats someting i wonder myself sometimes.

When i think about it it's because i've collected old toys for about 35 jears,was ready for something new,and i like to photograph marbles,and of course you are all nice people,oh it's also good for my English (i hope) and afterall marbles are toys aswell.

Here are my miniature dice. Some are glass, plastic, possibly bone?? Just think they are cute and colorful. I used to always play with my Mom's buttons, beads and strings of glass bugle beads and sequins when I was little (she sewed quite a bit). This this is how I developed a love of small colorful cute things...also LOVE me some colored Christmas lights; the more the better..no white lights in my house!!

Ha! Thanks, Alyce.

They're pretty small!

So I'm guessing some of these would come under the category

of 'novelty items', and some were made for the purpose of being

used in doll houses or other miniaturized scenery situations. ( :
