About the Item

Rare 1920s Mr. Jiggs Smoking Stand – Bringing Up Father This antique 1920s smoking stand is an exceptional representation of Mr. Jiggs, the beloved character from Bringing Up Father, the iconic American comic strip created by George McManus in 1913. As one of the most detailed and true-to-form examples of Jiggs figural smoking stands, this piece captures his signature rotund belly, waistcoat, and expressive face. Jiggs holds a cigar in one hand and a functional ashtray in the other, making this both a decorative and practical piece of tobacciana history. Condition & Details: This rare figural smoking stand is in good condition for its age, with an appealing craquelure to the paint, minor paint loss, and a missing fingertip on one hand, which does not detract from its overall charm. The stand and figure are securely attached with no structural issues or wobbling. Please see the pictures for a better review of the condition. The Legacy of Mr. Jiggs & Period Smoking Stands: Mr. Jiggs, the affluent yet unrefined Irish-American protagonist of Bringing Up Father, was a cultural phenomenon of the early 20th century, symbolizing the humor in social mobility and class tensions of the time. His distinctive attire and cigar-smoking habit made him a popular subject for decorative home accessories, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s, when figural smoking stands, ashtrays, and cigar holders were commonplace in gentlemen’s lounges and social spaces. Smoking stands of this era were often hand-painted cast iron or wood, designed as whimsical yet functional decor that reflected popular culture. Figural stands featuring characters like Jiggs, Charlie Chaplin, and Uncle Sam became highly collectible Art Deco-era tobacciana, sought after by collectors of vintage Americana, comic strip memorabilia, and early 20th-century smoking accessories.

1930's German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll

Located in Red Lion, PA

Stunning 1930s German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll with Rococo Hairstyle This exquisite 1930s German porcelain half doll captures the refined beauty and timeless glamour of the Art Deco period, paired with the romantic influence of 18th-century Rococo style. Rendered in fine porcelain with exceptional attention to detail, this rare figure is a striking example of German artistry at its peak. Her delicate features are simply enchanting — bright blue eyes accented by soft blue eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, and vivid red lips, all hand-painted with precision. Her ornate updo evokes the powdered wigs of the 1700s, gathered high with an elegant bow at the back and a tiny tiara perched at the front, nodding to both historic elegance and theatrical flair. What sets this figure apart is her graceful, outstretched arms, posed in a fluid and balletic gesture, capturing a moment of poised movement. It’s a pose both sculptural and expressive, and one rarely seen in typical half dolls. Her condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or signs of repair. Here delicately painted features remain vivid after nearly a century. German half dolls...
