Wooden Plaque of Pelvis and Hips - Orthopaedic Surgery Novelty!

Intriguing wooden plaque or free standing display of the pelvic area. It has a lovely home-made quality to it and I believe it was once the property of an orthopaedic surgeon - it may even have been made by him. The pigin Latin inscription would appear to be Letrasetso could be removed with care.  It is not drilled for hanging but it will certainly stand on a shelf as it's quite substantial. Great novelty for the orthapaedic consultant in your life.

Novelty Holey Cheese Knife - Culinary Concepts

SOLD

Boxed and unused novelty stainless steel cheese knife in the form of a slice of holey cheese with a leaf on the handle. Indeed, it is called "Leaf Holey Cheese Knife" and in that respect there is little else to add except that it is by Culinary Concepts of London and is in the original box, unused. Apparently best suited for soft cheese.

Box: 25cm x 6cm x 2.5cm
Knife: 20cm

Surfer Wear Pink VW Beetle Eggcup - Animal Clothing

Novelty advertising eggcup in the shape of a pink VW Beetle with a surfboard on the roof. Remove the board and the egg rests in the resultant depression with the surfboard doubling as a salt cellar. It is thoroughly emblazoned with the Animal Clothing logo and the numberplate is AN1 MAL. There is some dropout on the Animal logos in a couple of places but it is otherwise in excellent condition.

Set of Four Novelty Ceramic Coasters - Arthur Wood

This is a set of four heavy china/ironstone tile coasters by Arthur Wood in the "Back to Front Frog" design. They each feature a straw boater wearing cartoon frog, two facing forwards and two looking away. The backstamp is I think one used until the company was acquired by Price & Kensington in 1989 but as ever this does not necessarily provide an accurate date!  In excellent condition but someone has affixed neoprene pads to each corner which you may or may not wish to remove.

9.5cm x 9.5cm x 0.8cm

Stoneware Canal - Narrowboat - Souvenir Mug - Staffs & Worcester Canal

SOLD

Novelty studio pottery stoneware mug with base mounted handle and a plaque fixed to the "front" bearing the legend "I Fell in the Staffs & Worcs Canal". Obviously great for the clumsy boater in your life. It is marked "SP" near the base but I can't find a reference for this potter. In excellent condition.

Novelty Animal Mug - Creepy Lizard!

SOLD

Japanese made novelty mug in stoneware effect glazed earthenware. Definitely for the right handed, the drinking side is plain, the opposite features what can only be described as a "thing" climbing up the outside. A warty thing that is part lizard, part frog and by the looks of its tail, part dragon. Charming in its own way! Mug looks unused (would suit someone with a delicate nose!), the original sticker is still on the base. In excellent condition as you may imagine.
