I think someone had a lot of fun making this crazy cat

and I would guess date to the 1920s-40s or so

These are highly collectible and among Tonka's most iconic designs

Beautiful Old Bunch of Wrinkled Stone Fruit Grapes German snip with a little wear aroundThese old stone fruit grapes were one of my favorite Brimfield finds, brilliantly executed to resemble grapes well on their way to becoming raisins. I havent been able to find another bunch like these, and really think they are quite exquisite. I'm honestly not certain how the wrinkled surface on these was achieved, but they are hard, heavy for their size and I am pretty certain marble, and early, with wooden stem and wire holding them together.
