Lot 369: A Collection of Vintage Animal Figurines, Smoking Pipes, and a Model Aircraft Engine

This assortment includes several vintage items comprising animal figurines, smoking pipes, and a model aircraft engine. The collection features a small, single-cylinder internal combustion engine designed for model aircraft, featuring die-cast metal construction with a red-painted crankcase and silver-toned cooling fins. It is fitted with a two-blade, cream-coloured plastic propeller. The group of figures includes a jointed donkey made from peach-coloured moulded plastic with a red painted saddle; a walking elephant in grey moulded plastic; and a glazed ceramic seated leopard with hand-painted black markings. A miniature wooden cage with vertical bars is also included, resembling a zoo enclosure. Two tobacco pipes are present: a briar wood pipe with a dark polished finish, stamped Grafton Bulldog Made in Italy on the shank; and a metal-stemmed pipe with a textured black bowl, stamped Falcon Made in England on the underside of the frame, alongside the mark FD 2.
