The little monkey doll is a Monchichi, I still have mine from over 40 years ago. The commercial had a catchy tune 🎵 Monchichi , Monchichi oh so soft and cuddly 🎶

The egg palace antiques in Chippewa falls has the largest collection of carnival glass and beautifully unique things. It's an amazing place!

I live in downtown Eau Claire since August 1 2023 I pass that place all the time walking it been over a year I never been inside that store maybe I should looks neat.

Definitely pay them a visit. The owner is super nice!

I went to a pawn shop & everything I wanted wasn't for sale or the price was outrageous. It was like they didnt want to sell anything. It started feeling eerie like I was being watched & wasn't welcome. I got the feeling the store was a cover for selling illegal things out the back. When I realized I was the only customer in the store, I quickly left.

I don’t think that’s the case here. The owner is a really nice person I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with after this video.

Love those puppets, reminds me of pinocchio. Also interesting to learn that the dove cant be taxidermied. Thanks for cool upload!!!

[@WillowPhlox]

Actually update I was wrong on the reason, it’s because their feathers don’t have water proof coating so blood would stain.

[@nescafe5308]

@@WillowPhlox Oh ok, still pretty interesting to know, thanks!!!

Many of those fly ash trays are new repos

[@WillowPhlox]

Good to know. How do you spot the difference?

[@deadhorse1391]

@@WillowPhlox most times the older cast iron will have better details, also look for slotted screws but of course these could have been replaced A quick google search shows dozens of these fly ashtrays priced from $40 to $400 Some talk about being from the 1970s and made in Turkey. Interesting there was a lot of repo iron banks and toys made then too

[@WillowPhlox]

@@deadhorse1391 wow that's fantastic to know, thank you for the heads up!

[@jreese8284]

Drove two hours today to see this place, and it was open at all, although the 'net said we were there at the right time. Call first.

[@WillowPhlox]
