Tacky holiday souvenirs
« on: November 26, 2013, 01:55:37 pm »
Hi All.
Sorry to be asking about such trivial rubbish, but I have always been fond of a bit of toot and have a small affection for donkey barometers. Among my collection is something very similar, as seen in picture. I keep trying to hunt out some kind of history on it because it strikes me as quite old. It has numbers on the rear which are old style font. It got the usual "foreign" tag underneath. I am yet to even lay eyes upon another one. On line searches are coming up blank too.
Any kind of information would be much appreciated. Just age approximation, touch of history...
Thanks

you did,nt  hit the nail on the head  hard enough when you said it was tacky....and the reason you can,t find any others like it...is probably because...whoever made this...thought is was crap....and decided never to make another one.... ;D

Yep, I could almost predict at least one person would say that. I never claimed it was beautiful, but I love it. (somebody has to)
I gather you have not seen one before?

Ha ha ha, Thanks Cheeky. Can't think why anyone would feel uncomfortable or unwelcome on this forum. ;-)

Don't take any offense. It's his dry humor. To know him is to love him. I think that"s the saying. Now Wullie play nice or I'll tell Avril on you! ;D

I'm missing something here.  What does this have to do with a donkey?

Ok, so now a big wully has gone right over my head (not the first time!) I didn't take offense so don't worry. I work in a joke shop so I consider myself quite brave. I will upload a picture of the rear of it.
