Royal Winton "Black Crocus" square dish

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Excellent
Description

Sorry I can't upload any pictures.  This dish is in excellent condition.  The pattern is "Black Crocus" but I've also found it called "Triumphe"  But you're the experts, you tell me.  I think it's either a trinket dish or maybe a candy dish, measuring aprox.5X5 with little handles on two sides. The gold paint on the rim is not worn and it has no chips, dings or cracks.

"Birdie Putt" Cast Iron Mechanical Bank

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Excellent
Description

This is a cast iron mechanical bank that measures 8 3/4" long and 3 1/4" wide. When you place a coin in the wedge in front of the golfer and press the button spring behind the caddy, the caddy raises the pin (flag) and the golfer putts the coin into the hole.

The "Birdie Putt" medallion in the center of the bank can be removed as it is only attached by a bent wire. On the side of this medallion is the number "2216." This number is also written with a sharpie marker on the top of the inside panel of the bank. Other than that, the bank has no markings.

The bank itself appears to be in great condition and is coated with a thick paint. The number 18 on the flag is embossed on both sides. The bank appears to be complete with the exception of one of the club-heads in the caddy's bag. I believe there is supposed to be 3 total, however this piece only has 2. I assume this is because it broke off sometime in the past, as the clubs seem to be made from very soft lead.

I have done a bit of research on this piece, but have found very little. Ebay sells obvious reproductions and new casts, but rarely an original piece. Fortunately, after visiting Kovels.com and MechanicalBanks.org, I was able to dig up some information. This bank was either produced in the 1950s by Richard Toys or in the 1970s by Utexiqual (Kenton?). Similar banks have been appraised at $375 for the Richard Toys model, and $115 for the Utexiqual model.

I would like to find out the possible value and history of this item. Any information you may be able to  provide is appreciated.

Thank you!

Colonial Corner Cabinet

Category

Condition
Good
Description

Grandmother considered this her most prized piece.  Back in the 1940's she was offered $1,500 and she said no!  She was an antique afficiando and she said this was colonial possibly 1700's.  Not sure of date but it's all hand carved, hand made with wooden nails.
