[QUOTE="Snipsa, post: 29329, member: 350"]I'm going to throw a few of my latest finds into this thread. Most of them I realize are pretty much worthless, but they were interesting to me at the time ;) First is a silver plated chocolate? pot by Searle and Co London. Any help on dating it? I'm thinking 60's to 70's... Also, two superman figures, it says made in china on stickers on the back. No other identifiable features. I'm guessing very cheap knockoffs? Also bought an old Merrythought bear. Mohair? Poor condition (missing an eye), but still a great conversation piece! The one I love the most is the old celluloid gymnast. Still works perfectly although the gymnast's hat does have some damage. I've seen it listed on other sites as manufactured between 20's and 40's. Is there any way of dating it slightly more precisely?
