    No.
    The Cutty Sark is a famous tea clipper, called after a character in the Robert Burns poem 'Tam o'Shanter'. The ship was the fastest ship in the world at some stage.

    I wouldn't sell it either, I love the Cutty Sark and I like ship's models.:)

    I've never seen a nutcracker with a light before. How unusual!

    Are those other goodies on the table yours as well? Bakelite napkin ring, etc?

    Cool!

    Was at the thrift store yesterday. Would call the stuff on their shelves junk, but I think that would be unkind to junk.

    I was in two today - one Ill Will and a charity thrift. Spent 50 cents total. The Ill Will had two jars this morning, but someone bought them while I was at the dentist getting my teeth cleaned. (insult to injury much?)

    I know those jars held nothing of value or they would have been there for you after the dentist. I have only found two of those jars that were worth my while in the last 5 years. And they weren't all that much, just a bit more than I paid for them.
