Excellent
Description

I have two boxed magic sets.  Date on front is 1969, with the appropriate Mattel logo for that period.  Both sets are sealed in original plastic.  Each box contains props and instructions for three magic tricks.  Box states open box carefully, it's an important prop!  

 

One box is titled Magicians Miracle, the other is Phantoms Phantasies.  Unable to find anywhere on the internet.

Lemieux China 24k gold Chocolate pot set

Category
China
Condition
Excellent
Description

We have recently inherited a set of Lemieux china that I believe to be a chocolate pot set (because it does not look like the tea or coffee pots).  I cannot find anything else like it out there in all my searching and hoping someone out there can help identify what I have.  There is one pot, 2 small espresso-type cups and saucers, one creamer, one sugar bowl and one tray to hold the cups and saucer.  All pieces are marked.  Please see photos.  I can't find another pot or small cups and saucer like it anywhere so I don't know what it's worth.  Any ideas?

Cut to clear punch bowl set Ajka Elizabeth ?

Category
Glassware and Crystal
Condition
Mint
Description

I have owned this punch bowl set for many years. I have been unable to locate the maker or value. I recently ran across a glass by ajka Elizabeth pattern that matches this. The Ajka company promised to research and get back with me but they have not done so. The ladle was purchased separately a few years back. Any help would be much appreciated.
