Christmas "whirligig": Mel K. said his wife wanted "one of those wooden, candle powered, Bavarian, Christmas whirligigs.'" The article Wanna in El Paso was referring to is in Nutshell News, Dec. 1985, page 98, written by Dee Snyder It is called a "Weihnachtspyramide". Now let's hear everybody pronounce that one!!. Ruth |
Chariots: Fontanini has a Roman chariot in various sizes (they do religious scenes, but also scenery which is secular because except for the burning bush how religious can a bush be?) but I can't remember if the chariot has a person permanently in it.... The web site is http://www.roman.com/fontanini/fonthome.htm Religious stores and some gift shoppes which specialize in 'collectibles' carry Fontanini and it is fabulous, although I have to admit I've never thought of belly dancers. Now of course I won't be able to look at even a palm tree from the collection WITHOUT thinking of belly dancers! Thanks, Sandi Fellmer!! LOL :-) Gail from Ballouville |
Gluing Jig: The gluing jig was from Designs by Dann (Betty and Steve). The address is 6408 Sunset Terrace, Quinn |

Ruetter roomboxes: I found that my Rueter roombox was one of many different kinds of rooms and scenes produced by Ruetter. Carol from spminiatures has a page full of different ones available on her website at http://www.spminiatures.com/reutter/reutter.html Really neat if you want to display minis but have limited space, ideal for enjoying minis at work, which is where my wee kitchen is now proudly displayed. My kitchen was number 17 ....and as one is NEVER enough I am already planning which roombox I want next:) Kim from Oz |
Sarah in Paris told us about two sources for vintage style miniatures, which I checked out further. One is Barbara and Lew Kummerow, who make very high quality, detailed lamps and small "electrical" appliances from the 1920s and 1930s. I have never seen such items available anywhere else, at least not at this quality. They make a vacuum cleaner, two heaters, a fan and an iron. I bought the last mixer and toaster, and I don't know if they'll be making more. They also have the BEST Tiffany-style, Arts & Crafts and Frank Lloyd Wright style lamps, which are very realistic and highly detailed. Unfortunately, they don't have a website, but I recommended that they get one. They do shows and mail order. They do have email, and they sent me pictures as attachments. If any of you are interested in these items, send them an email to: kumini@thegrid.net These minis are just too great to be sold only at shows - they should be available world-wide, so encourage them to get a website. I also placed an order with Bob Carlisle, of Carlisle Miniatures. He makes a mall but very unique line of furniture and some accessories, primarily from the 20s, 30s and 40s. He makes three different styles of radios (the best I've seen), some occasional tables, including one specifically for placing a radio on top, with a shelf below and pockets on the sides for magazines. He makes a Jenny Lind bed, a kitchen table with matching chairs, and an Art Deco bedroom suite. He makes a telephone table and sewing table that are just SO vintage! The sewing table opens from the top and the front.The prices are very reasonable for all-cherry construction. Bob is also a Machinist, and makes his own hardware and radio dials, as well as a sewing machine (comes with the table) and a candlestick style telephone (sold separately from the table). He doesn't have email, and only does mail order. So, send a SASE to: Carlisle Miniatures Jonathan in Israel |
