Never mind.

 

OH! Don't hide!!!
It was a good guess.

 

King, it says here THE BAKER was a toothbrush holder(?)
I don't see the connection, but...:

King - the Snoopy looks like the ASTRONAUT SNOOPY MUSIC BOX (plays Fly Me to the Moon):

Well! I thought that at first but really???
Thanks!

 

Well surely NOT yellow.
Thanks!

 

Very nice KOT. How many holes are there in that baker? Can they hold measuring spoons?
I have a somewhat similar piece, but mine is more of a figurine than a useful too.

Love the Snoopy.

Edited to add, I see it is toothbrush holder.
Cute item anyway.

 

Bear, we put the andirons online yesterday.

 

I will probably put him on eBidet.

 

bluumz, the graphics on the shoe laces are very cool!
good finds KOT, love Snoopy!
Here are a few of mine - 1949 Amusement Park Erector Set, Griswold Clows Waffle Iron, a couple of (I think) Star Wars Figures, boat rudder, mini-mosaic pill box and a small piece of Genevieve Scalzo Santa Clara black on black pottery

 

now you can navigate rough waters..!

 

WOWED by that Erector set!!!!!!
I'm sure such toys are why I learned to build and fix almost anything.

 

I want to give that waffle iron a good greasing and throw some batter it! Cast iron shouldn't sit around and look cute; it wants to be used.

 

Hi all. Pickings have been slim lately,but I found this 1970s pottery mirror I thought yall might enjoy seeing. Normally I run screaming from anything heart shaped,but this weird,fun thing just called me!How many little faces do you see ?

 

you mean all of those weird little creatures looking out at me? the ones that appear to be multiplying and are looking more and more hungry as I watch them? the ones that are crawling to the edges and starting to drip down the wall? those faces are coming - they are coming for me........more and more of them.......they are coming...........THEY ARE COMING TO EAT ME................THEY ARE COMING! ..............................

THEY ARE HERE.........................​

 

I like stuff like this so I might keep it - the carousel horses are there and complete, the parachutes are worn but all there, the instruction booklet is gone though. I have another Erector set so it would fit right in. My poor kids will have one heck of a pile of stuff to deal with one day

lol komokwa!

love the mirror johnny!

 

Please let me know if you decide to part with it.
That tower is surely the one that was recently destroyed at Coney Island.
My uncle was a teamster and he delivered much if not all of the steel for it.

 

This TODDLETIME clock was at a 'private' thrift store started to help those with cancer.
Apparently she missed it being put out as she was unhappy that she did...too bad...
It works but the motor probably needs oil and cleaning as it's noisy.
The hands were missing but I have found this one on Pinheadterest so I know what hands it needs.

However.....
Though the numbers are black...
I am NOT convinced that the hands should be black or of that shape.
Anyone know anything about what they should be please?
