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.

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.

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”.
