Heyde, vintage metal rabbit and tree trunk inkwell :
$75.00

This sale is for a vintage metal desk accessory of a tree trunk with a rabbit attached to it and a glass inkwell insert. I\'ve never seen this type of tree trunk before - the usual ones I have are a pot metal molded in the shape of the tree trunk. This is rolled tin with a heavily ebmossed bark texture and then the traditional Heyde green and brown \"bark\" paint job scheme. The rabbit is about 1.5 inches long and 1.5 inches tall to the tips of his ears. The tree trunk is 1.5 inches across the top of the trunk and 1.5 inches tall to the top of the trunk. This item was made in Germany by the Heyde company. Heyde made a large line of solid and hollowcast metal soldiers, figures, desk accessories, and whimsical figures called \"Nippes\". I\'m not aware that they every put a makers mark on their pieces. To identify them you need to use a combination of the books that cover them (Old German Toy Soldiers, Mit Heyde Um Die Welt, or Heyde Hunters), the original catalogs, and talking with other collectors. To show perspective, in the last picture I show this piece with a 2.25 inch tall Mignot artillery man -- the Mignot is not included in this sale.Please see my other sales and my store for lots of vintage toys plus out of print books about vintage toys.
