Parker Brothers Dealers Choice Board Game $50 (11)
This is a Parker Brothers game called Dealers Choice. It is a game based of a used car lot. The graphics on the box and the center of the game are great. The stuff on the cards are even better. The guy making this game had a fun time for sure. The box has some wear and loss to some of the print. I believe it is complete but I have not counted everything. W231 -

Antique Leather Elephant Figure $200 (14)
This is a fantastic old elephant figure. The body is made of what I believe to be a composition material and covered in a thin leather. Elephant still has his original tusks and his tongue, as well as his tail and little glass eyes. While his trunk has some wear, it has no cracks or breaks. He is in what I'd consider to be "fragile" condition. There are some areas where the leather has worn away and multiple cracks in the leather covering and a few tears throughout. His front left leg has a crack near the top, it looks like it was often picked up there and perhaps that's how it cracked. He stands just fine with no problem. Please review the pictures. Even with his condition issues, this is truly a fabulous piece. He measures about 8 1/4" high and almost 15" long overall. Q445 -
DeCamps Bear in Tree Stump Antique Wind Up Automaton Toy $1,625 (15)
This is a DeCamps wind-up bear in a tree stump. This has the familiar action of a DeCamps automaton, but this one is a bear in a stump, the only one we've ever seen. The bottom base if flocked, and the stump is a paper mache composition type material. It does not have a wind-up key included, but uses a basic key. It does work well, though the music box is a little soft. There are 2 screws on the bottom of the base which seem a little bit newer, so there may have been some work done on this in the past. It's about 9" tall and 7" wide. P270

Small Articulated Wax Creepy Baby in Carriage $400 (7)
This is an articulated baby in a carriage. The doll features what we've been told is a wax head with possibly composition hands and feet. When the carriage is moved across the floor, the hands and feet move and the head turns back and forth, and every so often the baby pops up a little bit. The carriage measures about 8" long. All of the cloth is dirty. There are cracks on the hands and feet. The face has some heavy cracking with a little bit of a separation to the crack on the right side of the head. I see no markings for where it was made. Not the prettiest doll, but if you're looking for a creepy one, this is it! N501 -
