Cowboy Lucky Ranger 1950's Novelty Clock works fine HTF $ 199.99 FREE SHIPPING
Click on photo for more images
WONDERFUL vintage novelty clock made ca 1950 by Household Necessities. This is soooo cool! Sold elsewhere on the
internet for $899.00 (the condition on it isn't as nice as this one either) this is a rare and desirable clock.
The clock stands 11 3/4" tall. The top features a plastic cowboy's 'log' home which holds the clockwork. It has sculpted and
molded grasses and cacti on the front. Under the main housing the plastic is shaped like a horseshoe. Inside the horseshoe
is a nice lithograph print of a long wagon train with Pioneers forging the prairie, the towering Rockies in the distance. The
pendulum is neat! Rather than swing to and fro, it bounces up and down! Solid cast iron and cold painted, it's a cute little
cowboy riding a bucking bronco, he's holding his hat aloft and hanging on for dear life! Powder River Let 'er Buck! :-)
The forward legs are aluminum and emulate a corral fence, they help to allow the clock to remain stable.
It's no wonder this is one very highly sought-after clock for anyone who collects clocks or cowboy items, it's very very cool.
Condition overall is good. The plastic housing is in nice shape with no chips or dings. The litho scene has a little bow in it (it
may have been made that way) but it's not stained or soiled. The cast iron cowboy has most of his original paint. If you study
the macro photo of the cowboy closely you will see his that one of the horse's hoofs (at the rear) has broken to the level of
the other one. If there wasn't any shiny metal on that spot you sure wouldn't notice it and you can't see any damage when
viewing from full on anyway.
Like most of these vintage clocks they have to sit "just so" in order to work correctly. I've had this clock sitting here for days
and the bronco buster is just happily bouncing away. The clock is running a little fast but there are directions on the back to
adjust the speed. It probably also needs to be cleaned because there was a considerable amount of dust on the outside of
this piece too.
Be the only kid on your block to own such a rare clock! Will be packed with utmost care! Please do not hesitate to contact me
if you have any questions or concerns.

Gene Autry wearing the most outrageous pair of Myres carved chaps I have ever seen. The first few inner pages are
testimonials from customers including H H Carmichael, the father of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Charles Askins
Two Time National Champion Pistol Shot and Ed McGivern, Firearms authority from Lewiston Montana, and J H Fitzgerald,
Firearms Expert. This is an original, period catalog, not a reprint!

Great old scrimshaw Ivory billiard ball $ 395.00 FREE SHIPPING
Click on photo for more images
It's the 1800's and the cue ball from your billiards game has a crack.. you replace it with a new one, but what do you do with the
old one? You scrimshaw it! Great find, authentic old scrimshaw, not some modern laser-cut piece of "faux" ivory or vegetable
ivory: This is the real deal! The hand cut images around the mid body show a whaling schooner and four men in a dory about to
harpoon a whale. The top of the ball shows an image of a man in Arctic clothing hauling a seal across an ice floe. The bottom is
an image of a Polar Bear. There is a crack in the ivory ball that has been fortified, it looks like glue but this is still a really great
piece. The crack goes all the way through the ball from what I can see. Please observe the close-up photos. Weighs 7 ounces
and measures about 2 3/8" in diameter. Overseas buyers please be aware you may be required to pay significant Duties and
Taxes on this item, I do not falsify Customs forms. Thanks!

| great KIRWAN & NEILSON LUSK WYO accessory pouch $ 285 Free Domestic Shipping click on image above for more photographs Sweet little pouch made of saddle leather with an excellent maker's mark of this popular Wyoming Saddlery. They were usually made to hold fence pliers but cowboys could put just about anything in them. John William "Jack" Kirwan was born in Pennsylvania in 1885. He moved out west to Wyoming with his Missouri bride Anna around 1915. He served in World War 1 in the Army and returned to Douglas Wyoming where he enjoyed spending time making saddles at his shop. In the late 1930's his wife passed away and he moved to the nearby town of Lusk Wyoming where he partnered with T. C. Neilson in his shoe shop, and together they built a reputation for finely crafted saddles under the name of Kirwan & Neilson. Kirwan died at age 54 of influenza in 1944. This pouch measures 5 1/2" across the top, is 3" tall and opens about 3/4" wide with it's gusset insert. Perfect condition. Note the little side tangs off the back of this piece, it can be nailed to a wall or tied to a saddle with a latigo. Items from this saddlery (other than their well build saddles) are exceedingly difficult to find. |
