Hand Carved African Fertility Idols

African Fertility Idols
African Fertility Idols

Our “Pick” this week is also a little unusual. It is from the same estate as last weeks “Pick” and they did a bit of traveling. This time we have for your consideration a pair of African Fertility Idols. Both figures are hand carved Ebony and stand about 18″ high.  I find it interesting that the female figure is done it the traditional style, clothed only in beads. While the male figure is dressed as a contemporary European with an umbrella. Read into it what ever you want but it does say a lot about how the culture has changed over the years.

Russel Wright Iroquios Casual

Sold

We are back from our buying trip and we have more vintage Russel Wright designer dinnerware. This time we found a nice selection of Iroquois Casual. This is very stylish Mid-century Modern dinnerware. The colors we have are Charcoal and Ice Blue, they look really nice together. Just in case you are thinking about starting a set. The styling and colors are classic enough to still be in fashion.  In addition to that we have a nice Nutmeg Brown coffee cup and saucer. Stop in soon to see this and our other recent finds.

Vogue Picture Records

IMG_2188

This week for the “Pick”, I’m highlighting the very collectable, Vogue Picture Records. These hard to find records were produced by Sav-Way Industries of Detroit, MI: for only about a year, May 1946-August 1947. During that time they produced 74 different records. Some of which are very valuable. The three that I have are more common and would make a nice start to a collection.
