Found these at a thrift/antique store that is never open when i'm out that way but surprisingly yesterday it was. Unfortunately both the ears are broken on the PNG piece (it is extremely rare to find any PNG pieces here that aren't damaged in some way) but it is a good size and was a reasonable price. I love how it still has the fumigation certificate on the back of it but sadly all the information has faded from it so i have no way of knowing exactly how hold it is. I'm guessing 70's.

I also found this, something i've been hoping to find for a while now. I'm not sure if this was ever designed to work or is just an ornamental piece but i'm happy for it to just be a display piece, although i will change the rope on it.

Nice finds Robbie! What’s wrong with the rope? Doncha like bright white?
Cheers,
