I think the woman who sold them to me was Thai.

Haha, maybe he is sneaking up to steal the sake he isn't supposed to have (though I think this might actually be Chinese).

Re: garage sales
Great table Kevin. Amazing the things you can find sometimes. Also, my folks have that same gramophone or one very similar (by all outward appearances at any rate).

Re: garage sales
Slack wrote: what's up with the red stamps? Seals are also often used on Chinese calligraphy works and Chinese paintings, usually imprinted in such works in the order (from top to bottom) of name seal, leisure seal(s), then studio seal. Owners or collectors of paintings or books will often add their own studio seals to pieces they have collected. This practice is an act of appreciation towards the work. Some artworks have had not only seals but inscriptions of the owner on them; for example, the Qianlong emperor had as many as 20 different seals for use with inscriptions on paintings he collected. Provided that it is tastefully done (for example, not obscuring the body of the painting, appropriate inscription, fine calligraphy, etc.), this practice does not devalue the painting.

Re: garage sales
Northern stereotype-amundo! Finally found one of these old Andy Capp vinyl bottles at a boot-sale for a bargain price . . . . i knew i would eventually. Half-full of talcum powder from 1969 . . . . and it still smells nice Andy Capp by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Andy Capp by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr The World of Andy Capp by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr

Re: garage sales
Haha, Andy Capp! What a great find Moog. We had an Andy Capp book when I was a kid, but I definitely think we didn't understand it (of course). What a bizarre idea to use the character as talcum powder bottle.

Re: garage sales
^^^ Haha yeah, if Andy Capp was a real person there's no way he'd use Talcum powder. That's for soft-as-shite Southerners, he'd say.

Re: garage sales
Oh man my son would love that Cryptkeeper. There's one with the outfit at a local comic book store but wayyyyy to much money. Awesome find. The detail without the outfit is so cool.

Re: garage sales
Another boot-sale buy . . . i think it was 20p. Does anyone remember what these are called? You put your fingers in four holes in the back and then you can bend the face into weird expressions. I used to have a few of these when i was a kid. Squidgy Face by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr

Re: garage sales
I don’t know if they’ve ever had an official name, but they’ve been made in China for decades now. I think there are three main faces in this “line”- the face above; the Angry Bald Moustache Man, used by Anthrax as their “NOT!” mascot for a time in the 80s; and a third that looks like a drunk Stan Laurel, freshly punched in the mouth. Interestingly, there have been some changes in the details and sizing of both over the years, while the basics have stayed the same (much like the Martian Popping Thing of yore versus the version produced today). The ones I had when I was a little kid look very different than the ones that I came across in the late 90s, when my son received a set, and yet another re-tooling is being sold today (apparently at Cracker Barrels all over the country… that’s where my mom bought some that she sent up for Xmas a couple years back). Wish I had comparison pics to post!

Re: garage sales
I just bought my son one from Cracker Barrel last month in Florida. They are much thicker now so harder to move the face around.

Re: garage sales
^^^ Yeah, thats it . . . the 'NOT' man Anthrax used is one of the versions i had as a kid.
I also had the 'Drunk Stan Laurel' too.
Its funny how some weird but innocuous toys last generations and never seem to fully go-away.
