I have two movie theater booklets from"The Ten Commandments" 1956 and another "The Wiz" 1978. They both contain wonderful pictures and information about their movies.
I would like to know the year and value of these...if possible, thanks in advance.
The research that I have done so far indicates that these are called Ciupaga Mountaineers walking sticks, Polish hiking cane, Polish shepherds axe or Highlanders Ciupaga "Dziada".
The research that I have done on the carvings are as follows:
1.) Zakopane - A town in Southern Poland that lies in the southern part of the Podhale region at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. 27.Vll.75r. I believe that this is the date of the carving (July 27th 1975 not sure about the year) the "r" represents "rok" which means year in Polish.
2.) Morskie Oko - Is the largest and forth deepest lake in the Tatra Mountains located deep with in the Tatra National Park in Poland. 16.Vll.75r. (July 16th 1975 again not sure about the year)
The Walking sticks are approximately 33 inches long.
The axe heads are made of steel, (I think – the flash on the camera makes them look golden they are really more greyish) The blade cover is brass.
1930"s Crown Company Pump Organ. Fully functional. There are a couple of keys with chipped ivory, the remainder are in excellent condition. The organ works perfectly!
