Florence & George - Spring 2017

Spring | 2017 florenceandgeorge.com


In the early 1980s, Florence and George Theriault opened a small mail-order company, Dollmasters as a companion to their renowned auction house, Theriault's of Annapolis, Maryland. From its beginning the firm specialized in memorabilia from vintage childhoods, designed for the adult collector. Now that it is time for a change, we couldn't pick a better name than "Florence & George." Whatever the name, though, you'll find we have what you are looking for, because we don't just remember childhood, we revere it.

THE BONNET AND BICYCLE BUNNY Why would this bunny wear a bonnet on her way bicycling to the Easter Egg hunt? You didn’t want the wind to mess with her hare. Sorry about the pun, but it is a beautiful hand-painted German pewter piece that is sure to add color and character to your soft metal collection. 4”. PW-035. $85. | CARDINAL ENAMEL TRINKET BOX ... WITH SURPRISE A vibrant vermillion cardinal, whose feathers are tastefully adorned with faux jewels, forms into an enameled metal trinket box. Hidden within you’ll find a necklace with a small matching cardinal. 3”. GH-563. $45.

WEE TWEET TRIO From the beloved Wee Forest Folks of Massachusetts. Hopefully this little mouse isn’t about to conduct Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture because I don’t think he’s going to get the same impact for which the piece is renowned by simply using a handful of small chicks. 2”. WF-110. $145.

Wee Forest Folk Florence & George is delighted to introduce a family of fanciful miniature mice, handcrafted in the USA by the Petersen family since 1972. Annette Petersen crafted her first little mouse nearly four decades ago, and today is joined in the wee mouse world by Annette, Willy and Donna, the next generation of Petersens. They describe their creative process this way: "We make the mold, cast it, and a little mouse begins to emerge. Meticulous hand-painting and an enormous amount of patience and time brings each sculpture to life". All of the Wee Forest Folks are hand-crafted entirely in the small town of Carlisle in eastern Massachusetts.

Each is printed on archival-quality acid free matte paper and is professionally hand-framed in a 10 x 12" premium black wood frame. Each print is entirely made in the U.S.A.

| LIGHTHOUSE COCKTAIL SHAKER The capacious, yet inconspicuous, 12-ounce Lighthouse Cocktail Shaker is a perfect reproduction of the original produced by the International Silver Company in Connecticut during the mid 1920s, the height of Prohibition when "inconspicuous" was a word synonymous with alcohol consumption. Made of brass with nickel plating outside and silver plating inside. 14". GH-513. $270. NAUTILUS TABLE CLOCK The Nautilus Table Clock is every bit as complex and precise as the turn-ofthe-century French torpedo that inspired the shape and components on this imaginative clock. The intricate cast-aluminum timepiece is replete with brass details including a solid brass four-blade propeller and operable dive planes. This stunning legacy piece features a heavy marble base and brass portholes with acrylic windows. Clock is battery-operated (AA). 17 ½". GH-550. $399.

Gifts For The Guys

THE NORTH AMERICAN P-51 MUSTANG One of the most recognizable symbols of the American military forces in the World War Two, the P-51 Mustang was integral in establishing air superiority and helping to win the war. This oversized and detailed scale model features a fully detailed cockpit with sliding cover, retractable main wheels, a rotating propeller and movable flaps. It’s so detailed it might actually fly (we don’t know, we didn’t try because fuel is expensive). Comes with a decorative stand and a unique historical plaque. 29” wingspan. GH-596. $645.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER COCKTAIL SHAKER The origin of the vintage “disguised” Martini shakers was to hide their presence during the Prohibition. With that in mind, this seems a poor attempt at subterfuge since not only is it a bit on the small side for an actual fire extinguisher, but the engravings on the side read, among other things, “thirst extinguisher” and “ to refill, call your host”. Still it will make a beautiful addition to your liquor cabinet. In fine chrome metal. 10”.

BANTAM MIDGET In the 1930s, model cars began to flourish as a hobby and attention to detail, aerodynamics, and, yes, even artistry all became factors in the designs of enthusiasts. The Bantam Midget, from Authentic Models, is a loving re-creation of those early “tether” cars. It was constructed using the original period blueprints and exacting in every detail including its aluminum body, model airplane engine, and faux leather seat. 19”.
