I don't think I have posted to this thread for a while, so here are a few items.
21" West German floor vase, haven't looked for the maker yet,
2 creepy dolls, also from West Germany (Goebel). Looks like they were only made for 1 year, 1957.
2 large trolls Denmark 1961. I thought the hair had been cut on the one but looks like it is original.

 

Hi,
Your red heads made by Gobel where done by an artist (geeesh the name just flew the coop) she designed red headed figurines also. Dabnabit, the name is on the tip of my tongue. I know I sold three of them.

greg, the designer was Charlot Byj

 

and the sitter was Chuckie

 

The vase is very interesting...the dolls I'd put in the freezer for 48 hours.....just to make sure they're dead !

 

Hi CXGIRL,
Thanks for the name, it was killing me. Of course at 4:30AM I remembered Charlotte "Bey".

I love the troll dolls!

 

I like the creepy kids.

 

Yes, the creepy dolls make me think of Chuckie, will have to get them listed and hopefully they will find a new home.
I'm with you fig, I love the trolls.

 

True story... my mother says I was about 3 when I saw my first REDHEAD. She says I cried and ran.
I think I thought this would fit in with the Chuckie/troll thing...

It was very common in the 19th century and early 20th for people to have magazines bound together. Usually they'd put together all issues for a single year or, if the magazines were issues weekly, all issues for a segment of the year.

 

Pat, have seen quite a few like that but this one is different in having only the parts of the magazines relating to the books which were then bound together (with other magazine story parts) to form a compendium of books by Conan Doyle etc.

Latest of these was 1920s, earliest about 1905 so bound some while after publication
