I haven't posted in a long time...but I have the excuse of being busy. With the recent acquisition of this cool little prop, a Model A Car, that is perfect Barbie sized, this was the great reason the do a new post.
The car is actually an alcohol decanter made by Jim Beam, for Kentucky Bourbon whiskey. I was at an auction recently on a Friday night and saw two of these in a lot and knew immediately that I wanted them. I knew this one would be perfect for my Victorian Barbie dolls.
If you look closely on the opposite side, you will see the label that says Jim Beam. The liquor spout is underneath the seat. This is a red Model A Ford , 1903. There is a few on Ebay . This particular one also comes in black, they are fairly cheap, from $10-15 on Ebay.
Here are a couple of auctions-
Red Model A Decanter car
black Model A Decanter car
The thought also occurred to me that these would make great inexpensive props for the Dr. Who fans.
After Father had convinced Mother that the automobile was perfectly safe, they packed their bags and were off for a getaway to the next town for a visit! She still was not convinced...
Especially when they were in the car and he had to check those tires. Never had this trouble with the horses!
Hope you enjoyed the photos and links!
