April 2016 Auction

01 Rare JFK and Jackie Mechanical Kissers Never Seen Before Wow MB $750

Wow, just when I thought I'd seen 'em all.. Here is a motorized "Kiss'n Sweethearts" featuring JFK and Jackie. Jackie is on a motorized base and rotates around until she kisses Jack. Possibly one of a kind, never seen anything like it and probably won't again.

The base and logo are in nice shape with just some typical marks and small scratches. The heads had a few dings in them from the kissing action, I've had them professionally restored to minty like condition, body is all original (the winner should probably limit the number of times they use it to protect them). The Jack and Jackie decals are in good shape although the gold coloring on a green base is hard to see (typical on the JFK kissers).

I've included a link to a video so you can see them in action, you can cut and paste it if necessary:

55 Lot of 3 Nodders Inc. Bobbleheads Ruth, Wagner, Johnson NrMt MB $90
Many of you may recall Nodders, Inc, a company that in the 1989-90 began producing Bobbing Head dolls. They produced a set of 5 baseball players, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner. Production was limited to 5000 each although I remember the later dolls were well short of that amount. Here you can get 3 of the 5 players in the set. All of the dolls are bright and colorful and look minty on the shelf. The Babe is mint. So is Shoeless Joe but for one tiny nick under the rim. Honus has a touched up chip to the right side of his head, otherwise perfect. These dolls are are over 25 years old now, I have to think they should hold their value very well.

32 San Diego Chargers Full Sized Kail Nodder Rare Gem MB $240
Here's a neat jumbo (10.5") nodder bank designed by Fred Kail and modeled after the Kail statues. Very rare to find the large example, haven't had one in 9 years! These oversized guys tended to get banged around and this one has had some very nice professional restoration and looks sharp with solid colors and gloss. The skin color is  a bit brownish which is often seen on this doll (some lighter, some darker), not sure if they meant to have white and black players or not, either way it looks good. Charger chest decal has light wear, team base logo and helmet bolts are in good shape. No chips or cracks. No stopper if that matters to you. Scarce doll. Last picture is for comparison purposes.$966

This one looks really nice, the football stadium tray is in good shape with just very minor surface wear. Decal is complete and looks good. The player, who connects with a cork looks mint although he has had a crack to his upper body professionally restored, you can't tell with the naked eye, looks perfect. Great piece! $423
