Pinocchio
Located in London, GB
Original artwork used to create the British front of house stills. Gouache on artboard.
This original artwork features the films scene where Pinocchio is under the sea.
Exceptionally rare. Original artworks rarely surface, as the majority were destroyed.
Pieces on the Classic Disney films are always highly prized. This original artwork only recently surfaced, and was previously owned by an English lady, who had been given this piece in the 1940s. Prior to this discovery no other Pinocchio artwork for posters or front of house stills had been seen.

Vintage Tin Wind-up Toy "Clown in A Barrel" by J Chein & Co. American Circa 1935
Located in Incline Village, NV
Made by J. Chein & Company Circa 1935 in New York City; originally inventoried as #258 (same number as similar looking Popeye toy dated 1932) and was named "Mechanical Clown Barrel Walker". The name of the maker "Chein" is stamped as a logo to the rear of the barrel (see image). This is one of the earlier toys that Chein made.
The lithography and hand paint are in gorgeous original condition with bright colors of red and gold to the barrel, flesh tones to the clown, who sports a multi colorful smiling face.
The toy works great; simply wind the attached key wind in the back 1/2 revolution; place on the hard surface----the clown waddles across the floor, back and forth, while shaking his head to and fro (see accompanying video with this listing to see it work)
In addition to being quite a scarce toy it is even more difficult to find in this fine condition. Often times the head is lacking or replaced from rough usage and surface rarely maintains this beautiful finish. This particular example is completely original with no restorations, repairs, or touch up paint of any kind. There is a small 5/8" superficial indentation to the front top of barrel (see image). This would make a proud addition to any collection of vintage toys or Americana.
Dimensions: 7 1/2" high x 3 1/4" wide x 4" deep
See my other listings of over 100+ vintage toys and antique children's toy savings banks from which to chose.
Provenance: From a recently acquired West Coast collection of fine quality tin toys.
Note: After 40 plus years of dealing and collecting toys, I am justly qualified to guarantee and present the authenticity of antique and vintage toys and children's playthings; important considering the fakes and reproductions in the marketplace. My toys operate properly and are as stated and accurately described.
it would behoove an enterprising collector, dealer, or decorator to take advantage of the opportunity to buy as many of the vintage...

Vintage Toy Sewing Machine Collection Featuring Singer, Vulcan, Regina, Elna
Located in Mortsel, BE
This fascinating collection of vintage hand-crank sewing machines, originally designed as toys for children, showcases a wide range of models produced throughout the 20th century. These miniaturized machines were often gifted to young girls, allowing them to learn basic sewing skills while also sparking creativity and craftsmanship at an early age. Beyond their educational value, they are a testament to the industrial craftsmanship of the time, representing the same intricate mechanisms found in full-sized sewing machines.
Brands like Singer, Vulcan, Regina, Elna, and Casige are well-represented in this collection, each with their distinct designs and color schemes. Singer, one of the most well-known names in sewing machine history, produced smaller versions of their famous models. Similarly, Vulcan from the UK crafted vibrant red and blue machines, while Regina and Casige from Germany offered delicate, beautifully painted versions. These machines are cherished for their durability, functionality, and charming designs, making them highly collectible today.
