It's a pen holder from Papermate and made in F.R. Germany (that's West Germany to you and I) and dates from the latter part of the 1970s. It's a mouse. And it's on a spring. Which basically means when a pen is taken from or inserted into it, it bounces away in a very cheerful fashion. It's a simple bit of vintage fun for your desk... and an increasingly scarce item to encounter.

In good condition, without original box unfortunately. The mouse's tail does have a slight kink to it, but it's there - often they aren't, so let's be thankful.  Pen not included in this sale - and the eagle-eyed might have noticed it's not a Papermate anyway ;)

]]> Vintage Celluloid S. A. Reider Nodding Stork with Baby Bobble Head https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/vintage-celluloid-s-a-reider-nodding-stork-with-baby-bobble-head/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vintage-celluloid-s-a-reider-nodding-stork-with-baby-bobble-head Thu, 20 Aug 2020 11:04:15 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=7526 A rare vintage celluloid plastic figure made by S.A. Reider. One of a variety of toys/gifts made by the company, this one would most likely celebrate the birth or impending arrival of a baby, playing as it does on the folk tale of storks delivering babies! In common with many of the other figures this one has a nodding / bobbing head and comes with a tiny baby figure which dangles (somewhat unnervingly) from the stork's neck.

A charming and quirky item - certainly a little bit different! This one still has its original label intact and is in good vintage condition. The stork measures approximately 10cm (4 in.) high and 8.5 cm (3¼ in.) long.
