THIS AND THAT (Part 2)
Here's some more "stuff" for your amusement. We had a small pedestal type, three-legged table with nothing to show it off. Then, the fates stepped in. While browsing through a local antique store here in Naples, I came upon the perfect bust to display. Remember I'm a movie nut. What could be better than Lon Chaney as "The Phantom of the Opera?" It looks great on the table and does make people do a double-take when they first see it.
Items number two and three go
back to my childhood. I remember ordering the Hopalong Cassidy mug which was advertised on his radio show. It most likely had a tie-in to Ovaltine or some such advertiser. But I used it a lot as a child. I've totally forgotten how the Shirley Temple pitcher came into my life but none-the-less I still have it.
One more item from my childhood is my Mickey Mouse watch. The crystal has been long gone, but it still works (if you remember to wind it) and the wrist band is decidedly to small to enable one to wear it, but it reminds me of my youth and seems contented to just sit on a bookshelf.
Ah, memories, memories. Stay tuned.
