Amphibians

and turtles. Another collection that has been well hidden for several years emerged from hiding yesterday. It all started about 20 years ago and we kept finding these creatures. Then one day at a huge Atlanta antique flea market we found these two large-marge sized yard ornaments. The large turtle and frog were actually meant to have a hose put inside (there is an opening on the bottom) and then when the water was turned on out spouted the stream. Yes, whatever.

 

In any case these buggers are somewhat difficult to display. These were made from the 30's to possibly the 60's in Ohio by the Brush-McCoy Pottery. The large ones are rare, all are popular and collectible. Most of these were found at various flea markets and antique fairs in the southeast. I have never found any here in Colorado....think it's too dry. : ) Would I ever part with these? Yes!

Thanks for visiting today, back to my stitching.
