Dresden Scheibe-Alsbach Napping Napoleon Figurine
This is a wonderful Dresden porcelain figurine made by Scheibe Alsbach. It is 7" high and the base is 7 3/4" by 5 1/8". It features Napoleon napping in a chair while a little girl is leaning over a table watching. There is also a seated toy soldier figure and a horse on the table. On the front is written Chut! Papa Dort! which I believe means Hush, Papa Sleeps. The figurine is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips or flea bites. It is marked with the Scheibe-Alsbach mark and Germany which was used ca 1905 to 1972.

First verified Paleoindian representations of a proboscidean in the Western hemisphere
The Earliest Documented Art in the Americas
Discovered by an amateur fossil hunter it is been described by Dr. Dennis Stanford from the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History as "An incredibly exciting discovery. Dr. Barbara Purdy from the University of Florida calls it "The oldest, most spectacular and rare work of art in the Americas."
The findings and research procedures have now been documented in the Journal of Archaeological Science and other publications as this artifact represents the first verified Paleoindian representations of a proboscidean in the Western hemisphere and more importantly the earliest art in the Americas.
While digging in the Vero Beach area of Florida, an amateur fossil hunter found a bone fragment and etched into the bone by a highly sharpened stone tool is the clear image of a walking adult mammoth or mastodon.
Realizing its importance he took the fossil to the experts at the University of Florida and The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and the Museum Conservation Institute, Smithsonian Institution Museum Support Center. The Journal of Archaeological Science reports that "Never before in the Western Hemisphere has there been found a validated bone from an extinct faunal species incised with a recognizable image of a proboscidean."
The findings by Dr. Stanford and Dr. Purdy will result in a new and revealing chapter of the history of early man in the Americas. According to experts these first ice age people in the Americas were very much like us, perhaps shorter but with the same brain mass, skills and cunning and now we can add artistic talent.
The owner has graciously allowed the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and the University of Florida to make a casting on the item. 40.1cm L, 10.2cm W, 4.0cm thick (approximately).

Nazi Hitler Youth Knife
This item came out of the estate of a collector. This is a Nazi Hitler Youth Knife, it is marked RMZ in a circle with M7/25 also stamped in the blade. It is in good condition for its age. The only real flaw I see is a very small piece of enamel missing on the end of one of the swastika arms (see picture). The blade doesnt have any knicks or damage other than the signs of use. It comes complete with its original sheath, which has some surface rust (not into the metal)and
missing paint. The leather strap is still in great working order and has not dried out or gotten hard. It is in original vintage condition and displays very well as it is but would be a stunning piece if it were restored. These are getting harder to find so act fast. If you have any questions I can be reached at 219-789-1410. I also have a Nazi Flag made for U-Boats and a RARE WWII German Boot Knife.
