Vintage wood train

From 2 to 92, what guy wouldn’t love this marvelous vintage train from days gone by? Made of solid unpainted wood, it has an engine (7-3/4" long x 4-1/8" tall), an oil tanker (6" long x 2-1/2" tall), a freight car (6" long x 3-3/4" tall), and a caboose (6" long x 4" tall). The cars can be unhooked from each other and all wooden wheels turn freely. Perfect as an indestructible toy, but nice enough to follow your little guy from the playroom to the boardroom. And wouldn’t this train be great under the Christmas tree? Whatever its previous owner(s) used it for, they certainly took care of it, because it’s in pristine condition and shows virtually no wear. What a neat addition to anyone’s train collection! (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Biplane sculpture

This cool wire sculpture airplane harkens back to the single-engine biplanes of the WWI era. Made of thick steel wire coated in black enamel, this plane stands on two stationary metal wheels and measures 11" long x 10" across at the wings x 3-1/2" tall. 2-1/4" diameter center circle on the top wing holds a 1-3/4" tall glass cup with diameters of 2-1/2" at the flared mouth and 1-1/2" at the bottom. Perfect for holding a votive candle. Great display piece for any airplane enthusiast or, using one of the new battery operated tealights with “flickering flames” instead of a candle, makes a superb nightlight to assure any little boy a night of wonderful dreams flying off into the wild blue yonder! Perfect condition with no dents, dings, bends, or sharp edges. We have 4 of these biplane sculptures and price is for each. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.
