1980s, have had it since then.

I thought I had lost this little guy but alas he was just hiding in a pumpkin in a bin!

Made by RUSS and sold, I believe, through Hallmark stores? I can still picture the end cap he was on when I asked for him in the store.

He was extra special in that he only came out for Halloween.

The little things that make a holiday as a kid.

Found this little heard of 1965 Louis Marx 1/6 scale horses in a garage sale pile.

These are from their Best of the West line featuring Johnny West.

The black horse seems to be missing one stirrup and it's reins, whereas the tan horse appears to have all of its tack; but who knows what was swapped around over the years, this is how I found them.

They won't stay in my collection but I was happy to bring them home for a bath, some photos, and eventually for adoption to a good home.

Unfortunately I only know Florida as a location; do I have this right? Thanks!

Just wanted to share the brilliant color of this dragon by Dimensions For Children from their Dragon Riders of the Styx line.

It's so neon it's hard to photograph. 😆

Yard sale find yesterday; this is one of the very popular at the time "make your own" ceramic pieces. Folks would go in, paint and glaze a preformed piece, then pick it up after firing.

I'm sure there are still places that do this, but it was very popular in the 70s and 80s.

This is in beautiful condition, minor flakes in the lip of the lid, but that's hard to avoid and is covered when the lid is on. Came with a 1982 cord and lamp but I'll swap that out for LEDs this season.

Marked "1982" and the initials of the maker.

Sorry I forgot anything for scale, it's the same size as a typical blowmold.

ID confirmation request, looks like a catfish spine, modified vert? Thanks!

I am looking to purchase an empty hunter case for a memorial project. I'm looking at this one, but do not know the mark as it pertains to the silver content. I'd love to find something solid, at least for the outer case. I prefer silver for durability over plate.

Any help would be appreciated, I have made the usual Google Lens pass already.

"Robert Brandt Fine Silver Pocket Watch Hunter Case" is the listed title.

Thanks in advance.
