Good work CX !

Hey...that ain't a table....it's a plant stand !!!

Thanks!

 

Let's put pies on the platforms...please?

 

I'd call it a whatnot and Edwardian. Lovely.

 

Too nice for a plant stand....let's put crackers and various dips around, please!!!

 

It would be a shame to cover up all that nice inlay, but I could see it holding a big fern.

 

I'm with Aaron on this - after all, it is Pi day.

 

Yes...but all the designs are plants......& I've talked to Fern.....and she's just not that big...

 

Oh YA !!!
Well... U just wait until it's Plant Day.....Aha !!!!
Then we'll just see about your Pie in the Sky attribution !!! Hah !! I say...Hah !!!

 

I didn't quite catch all that; can you repeat it 3.14 times?

 

Something Davey posted recently about finding something in a darkened attic (I think) reminded me of this find from a couple of years ago. I was helping a friend run an estate sale and when it was over I wandered to the second floor of the barn, which had no electricity, was VERY dark, and had a big scary hole in the floor. I was about to leave when I thought I saw something smallish and dark leaning against the wall. I bent over to see what it was and was greeted with bursts of color. There were four of these, but the two here were my favorites. As you can see, I had them framed and they still decorate my long-grown daughter's bedroom.

 

Is that an old version of Candyland?

 

I think this clock was worth $2.99+ with two 1879-s Morgan dollars.

 

Yes it is, and I just ran upstairs to see what the dates are. The Wizard of Oz one says "Copyright 1921" and, other than the manufacturer info, the Candyland one says "4921X." I saw the same one on a website that dated it to 1949, which the number on mine and the children's clothing seems to corroborate.

 

Interesting about the 1949 date. Unless they changed it again quickly, that should be the one my brother and I had. But it has been so darn long since then, all I can picture is the more modern versions.

The Oz one is awesome!

 

Hey @anundverkaufen ! I've been meaning to ask - is your new avatar from "Art in the 21st Century?"

 

Wow...nice....around here the coins would have been torn out long before anyone could sell it for 3 bucks !!

 

It's his kids tree house !!
& his dog house......

 

It’s a tree house an uncle built at our place this winter to surprise all the kids that come here in the summer.
