How about these miniature phonographs. A cylinder AND a c250 (my guess, grill is slightly different )diamond disc machine. They are for a dollhouse.
If these don't constitute smalls then i don't know what does.

In short, is not liberty the freedom of every person to make full use of his faculties, so long as he does not harm other persons while doing so?

Re: Let's See Your Fun Smalls!
During the first two decades of the 20th century in the UK, small white glazed porcelain models bearing the crests of the places where they were sold were popular souvenirs. They are known collectively as "Crested China" and are widely collected.
Thousands of different models were made, including gramophones. The horn model pictured here bears the crest of Bournemouth, and the "hornless" the city of Exeter. Cabinet gramophones were also modelled, the horizontal grand or console being particularly rare today.

Re: Let's See Your Fun Smalls!
Just FYI, that buckle was made in the 1970s as part of a very large series of fake "old west" buckles purported to be made by Tiffany (who never made belt buckles at any point in their history). They were actually made by a shyster in England who flooded the antiques market for a few years. The full story was recounted in a book titled "New Belt Buckles of the Old West" by J. Duncan Campbell in 1973. Of course, as they now approach 50 years in age, they are virtually antiques by default!

Re: Let's See Your Fun Smalls!
I’ve got another of the buckles. Mine says “Lewis Buckles Chicago” on the back. My collection is small and this photo contains almost all of my smalls.

Wore one of those (a cheaper version, without the "Tiffany" mark) back in my college days...startgroove wrote:We found this belt buckle in a Sacramento Antique Store a couple of years back.
