Shadow box containing a bone (or some composite) carving of a sailing ship with gold painted highlights on a grey wool background. The brass plaque (picture included) reads Flying cloud 1850. The back has a sticker saying Turner Wall Accessory (picture included). The frame (or more specific wood box) would appear to me to be walnut or possibly mohoggany with a glass front. The back also has a signiture (see picture).
This set was originally bought in England in 1964 and brought to Canada. The owner died and the granddaughter inherited the set. It was never used by the granddaughter and there are 6 cups and saucers, 6 bread/butter plates (6 inch in diameter), 1 8oz. creamer, and 1 sugar bowl with no lid. The whole set is in excellent condition with no chips, scratches or crazing.
This doll was given to me as a gift from my father in about 1946. When you wind the key, the weight, located in a ball on the hat, causes the hat to spin and the uneven base makes the doll turn and wobble as she "dances". The doll is molded from some sort of light weight plastic. The back and front are molded and then attached together at the sides with tabs through a slot at her shoulders. I have looked the doll over from head to toe and have not been able to find any identifying marks to indicate the manufacturer or place of origin. All I know is that I was told that my father went to visit his father in Green Bay, Wisconsin and apparently he attended a fair or carnival while there. Whether he got the doll there or not is unsure, but I am quite sure it came from Green Bay and I know that I was less than 2 years old when I got it. I have included photos taken of the doll from four angles.
This was in the house when we bought it. We know nothing about it and could not find any markings. We were just wondering if it was worth anything and if anyone might know more about it. We are interested in selling as well.
