The last three and the first one seem to have the typical ukiyo e signature block form. You may be able to unravel the artists from a list of ukiyo e artists, but I can't see from here if they are 19th C or later reprints.

 

as I will post a thread in a bit with better pictures on the art thread

Skeezix - once I 'got it' - I busted out laughing. That is funny stuff. Ding dong.

My partner and I went out driving yesterday to celebrate our 11-years and found (for me, not him - this is not his kind of thing, he tolerates) a few small-town TS - the kind that are open 4-hours a day and have some great stuff. One let me in just as they were closing and had a massive wall of PGP - I purchased several items. Everything was dirt cheap. The store twice the size two doors down was closed already when I left. I am making a special day trip next month to hit four stores - can't wait!

The pictures aren't great as I like to post them in 'as-found' condition here on this topic and the camera and lighting were not working together today.

A few things I grabbed yesterday:

These are from the 'wall':

Will ask for help on both later. The tall vase seems to be HQ, older and cut - it is heavy, has a great ring whether you hold it or is sitting. That other piece I swear I used to know, but well, that doesn't help me now.



I don't know about this vase - found it mixed in with some HQ antiques and for $8.00 I thought I would take a chance. No markings.



At an estate sale, it was the second day and I purchased this pile for $1.00 total - folks said there was nothing there, but I found these items in a shoebox. All the items will ship for First Class and are easy to list. A few 4.-5.00 items, but the Kilroy piece is 10.00-15.00 and what I discovered when checking these out is that there is a big demand for the actual vintage Band-Aids themselves. There are a plenty of tins available, but it seems not the old BA. The prices were surprising, so I might have gotten a gem for just a few cents - we will see.

Sharonna! I have your little concrete guy's brother! Got him for 50 cents at an estate sale a couple years ago if memory serves. Thought I would find a place for him out in the garden, but he ended up on my kitchen windowsill.

 

I love the little juicer! I found just the top of one at a TS once, and it turned out (if I remember correctly) to be a Goebel. Got fairly nice money for it.
I have the Nessie figurine in my display cabinet, but don't know anything about it. Been there for many years.

 

The red candle holder is a Swedish advent Christmas candelabra. Save till later in the fall to list.

 

That is his ugly brother Baker LOL mines eating something disusting lol
Messi this one is made in Japan
Thanks Birgittaw I will hold it till later

 

Thank you sharona! It is an unusual shape....it's called a "vessel" instead of a vase. I would have thought it would have been used to put buds in each of the openings. Maybe it is. I like your Brumm piece

 

Thank you that vessel would look lovely with the right flowers!

 

LMAO! I didn't know it was a vessel until someone told me two days ago. A vessel for what, I'm not sure. Your woodblocks are interesting...should be easy to research. They seem to sell pretty well.
