Black Americana Edison Phonograph (sealed / silent auction)

John S — Tue, 19 Jul 2016 13:40:41 +0000

Up for auction is this 1915 black “Ragtime Rastus” jigger toy . While the record would play this little guy would dance around. Very neat!!! The piece measures 8.5″ tall and 7″ long overall. The man himself is about 5 3/4″. The jigger man is constructed of wood and jointed by nails. This piece is all original and in good condition with some paint wear. I really had no idea what this black dancer might be called but I found numerous U Tube videos that show him in action. We don’t have a phono to test him on, but now that we know he needed an adapter piece that goes on the spindle, we know he works fine. There is a mechanism inside the metal case on the bottom that makes the wire on top that holds the dancer go up and down. We can simply turn the adapter to make sure that he can “dance”. We had to order the adapter so it is a replacement. Everything else is authentic and old and bears the markings on the metal piece of Natinal Toy Co Boston Mass and dated 1915.

STUNNING ONE OF KIND GEM GRADE FLAWLESS AUSTRALIAN NEPHRITE SUBTLE GOLDEN EDGED BLUE GREEN JADE MAORI HEI TOKI PENDANT hand carved and perfectly finished with a PERFECT SATIN FINISH by New Zealand Master Carver Andrew McGregor. This outstanding, elegant art piece is a traditionally bound Hei Toki adze. The diagonal blade edge has been left natural but smoothed and this adds to the beauty of the piece, It measures 2" long with a 7/8" width at the blade edge a bound and suspended on a superstrong natural beautifully hand braided waxed adjustable cord. Comes with a certificate of authenticity. Pounamu is found only in the South Island of New Zealand. Because of this, the island was originally named Te Wāhi Pounamu (the place of pounamu), but over time this name changed to Te Wai Pounamu (the greenstone waters). No other jade should be classified as pounamu as it is a Maori name for the stone. - there are ten main types of pounamu: Arahura - a dark velvet green Inanga - pale blue or green - can be opaque or translucent Totoweka - a rare type - streaked or spotted with red Kahotea - dark green with darker inclusions Kawakawa - rich leaf green sometimes with dark freckling Kohuwai - a misty grey blue with vivid bright green - like moss in a stream. Kokopu - sometimes called troutstone - silver or golden green with brown freckling Kahurangi - emerald clear green sometimes with white feathering - highly prized Raukaraka - called Flower Jade - varied greens with gold/orange blooms Tangiwai - bowenite - found only in certain areas of Aotearoa NZ - dark blue/green - exceptional translucence.
