Went down south to the Rose Bowl Flea this past weekend...Barely even saw anything interesting...much less to buy...However I did run around to some antiques malls in L.A....Santa Monica, Pasadena, Hermosa Beach, Sherman Oaks...all nothing...But in a store in Pasadena a gal had a small collection of about ten European tins...and I spotted this c1900 12" tall mountaineering one...Mountaineering stuff is hard to find...but what a sport!!!...man against mountain....Now if I can just find some great tobogganing or dog sled race piece!

I found another example on line, below...and as you can see originally it had a lid...The auction in which this better condition one sold...listed it as a Fryer's tin...I couldn't find any reference to Fryer's but did find a "Fryers" candy company in Nelson, Lancashire England that likely produced this tin....

Fryer and Co (Nelson) Ltd, Victory V Factories, had its origins way back in 1830 when Nelson man Thomas Fryer met a travelling confectioner over a pint of beer and they decided to open a small shop in the town making peppermints and lozenges.

Eventually Fryer built a factory but when he ran out of cash 20 years later, Dr Edward Smith bought the business for £1,000 and ran it with his brother William Their formula for combining ether, liquorice and chloroform – it took five to seven days for the whole process – to produce Victory V Lozenges was still being used in 1959.

William took full control of the company in 1864 and it became a private company in 1906.

When he retired two years later, Jack became manager.

Down the years, the company had many notable firsts – it was the first to make jelly babies, slab toffee and decorated tins as sweet packaging.

c1915 BOBSLED/TOBOGGAN STATUE, 5 1/2" LONG, SPELTER CAST
No markings, likely Austrian

About a month ago I posted a mountaineering tin I got...and in jest I said "....Now if I can just find some great tobogganing or dog sled race piece!"...That was some coincidence...a few days later a bronze dealer emailed me an offer for the tobogganing statue above...Yesterday I drove into San Francisco to see it in person and you guessed it...it came home with me...Rare subject matter!

I think it was "stolen" or " he had to sell becAuse his job might be outsourced" or someone died or someone is pregnant which somehow gives him the ability to reneg on anything he sees fit. BUT if you see it on eBay, it will be one that was found on the curb or his job has been once again secured. Oh.. and he is sorry and it won't happen again.. Thing of the past.
Non of the said stories above are true of course..
It amazes me the lack of self awareness one can have. Scary that one can actually believe that they are invisible if they are wearing sunglasses.
There is only one Joey Farino.. One great big pimple on the hobby that keeps coming back after it pops over.. And over.. And over again.

Yes, it's annoying how he doesn't keep pics very long!:confused:

Using Leon's pic attachment works mint and as far as I know, the pics are there for a very long time.
