Genie the Houdinicat says yes to the head and yes find the rack. She's not fond of garlic salt. Put catnip inside instead.

 

I wonder if there was any choice of spices available...

It's just that I personally find cinnamon, nutmeg, and paprika an odd selection, but then when you add garlic salt... Hmmm. Wonder whose idea that was?

 

Well, give 20 lashes with a wet noodle! I did not see that, and I looked at the photos a gazillon times.

 

It is hard to imagine that recipe.....

But I've done some googling, and haven't found any other spices in that set. Found an interesting article on the company, at https://www.thoughtco.com/holt-howard-ceramics-782305
It might be worth finding the big cat and bracket for them; some ebayer dates the set to 1959, and thinks $231 is a fair price. They are sort of cute.

 

Well 59 is the date on them.....& the rack & large head were not in the area....but it would be worth another look see !!!

 

I do like handbags. Picked up three snakeskin ones for ten quid on MOnday. This one, I'm keeping:

 

Ya....I'd keep that one too !!!!!
Nice find !!!

 

those spices are correct for the set

I pulled out my HH book and that is correct, he was originally sold with a key ringCalled a Wall Caddy, a planter/flower holder and keys. I still wouldn't hang anything from his tail though.
I love HH stuff and it is always worth picking up if you can get it cheap. They also have some fabulous Christmas items.

Great...now I have to have the larger head,..... which could have been snagged by someone else....or bust ...leaving the others to end up in goodwill....

 

It had a rather nice Parker pen in it, too!

 

you can sell them separately, people need replacements for ones that get broken

 

good point !

 

I was just going to say that individual heads and incomplete sets have recently sold on eBay. Looks like you already got some good advice from cxgirl about selling individual pieces.

 

You just have to scour ebay and the shops until you find the missing pieces!

 

or like the gals said....I have the missing pieces...!

 

Not weighted, not filled, 6 oz each

Just generic Japanese?

 

I hope you weren't greedy & asked for a cheaper price.

Nice find!!

 

Hi,
Even if thet were cheap Asian I would have gladly paid a buck for them!!!

Oh well....I still trust em.....but....they came back and did a more close up examination.
I need the roof done......
so much for saving 10 grand......It'll now likely cost a few grand more than that...
