This is a fabulous
Pink Piquet jacket with blue ribbon waist tie. In soft cotton piquet
with peter pan shape collar, this will fit all of your 10 - 12 inch
bears. Fits a 12 inch Steiff with not huge arms! A little generous
on a small 10 inch Steiff, but clothes are better to be larger than
tight on your old bears. |

Super Rare indeed! My
goodness, my eyes nearly popped out of my head when I found these beauties.
In perfect condition, no loss of colour or damage or cracks, just perfect.
Even in their original box with original price of 2 shillings (
10p to all of you who do not remember £'s Shillings and Pence) .
That was a serious amount of money in around 1900. Maybe even before then...
A set of 8 perfect
slides, 3 inches square , featuring the story of Goldilocks and the three
bears in glorious Technicolor, Can you imagine, this would have been such a
treasure in those days with no electrical whim whams.. oh to be back then
.....or at least to enjoy children being children instead of computer
whizzes! The slides are very detailed and, as you can see, if
displayed in a light corner, with a white backing, you can
clearly see the images without having to display them on a lantern! However
if you have one, what fun.... The box is a collectible in its own right.
Beautiful graphics, great condition with one side being a "Flap" being the
only small damage ( it is still attached along the main side, but I think
someone opened the box as a slide in box.
I cannot enthuse about
these enough, I would like to hang onto these but Mark made me list them!!
He said it was a total extravagance.,..he he !! Yep...totally indulgent, but
a beautiful piece of social history and bear related history too boot.
Beautiful historical items, maybe never to be seen again. I also have a
similar set of picture blocks, Victorian English picture blocks with the
full Goldilocks and three bears story with similar images, they will be
available very soon. |
