Vintage 1960s Kays Identity Kit Face Image Creation Set

Billed as "hours of entertainment" with "thousands of variations" this is the Kay's "Identity Kit" game, from the 1960s, comprised of a large selection of head shapes and facial features for children to combine into recognisable or unrecognisable faces on the master sheet which has a transparent cover. Additional features can then be drawn onto the cover to add to the fun. This set has not been much used at all - many of the pieces are still arrached to their base sheet, and those that have are included in the spaces in the box tray. We can't be sure if it's complete but there are plenty of sheets and pieces to use, so regardless of whether it's 90% complete or 95% complete it's certainly not limited. An intriguing item... and not just for children.

A Pair of vintage Norwegian Painted Egg Cups

These quaint wooden egg cups, marked "Norge" and made in Norway, each feature a charming painted face design for "his and hers" eggs with vintage style or for simply using as decorative items with a twist.

Both are in excellent condition (see, we don't always resort to cheap puns!), and one has a rather amusing pencil mark on the underside of the base which we have left intact and which reads: "HANDS OFF MINE"!

1940s Clown Face Dexterity Puzzle

A very amusing and unusual toy! No more than 4.5 cm (1¾in) in diameter, this little tin toy contains three tiny lead balls to get into the two eye sockets of the clown face (it's very much weighted in your favour!).
