utter dapper amass: Figurative finds...
http://utterdapperamass.blogspot.com/2011/03/figurative-finds.html
Sunday, 20 March 2011. It's been nearly a year since the last post, pretty slack eh. Anyway, the good news is I have not given up on this blog and have three pieces to offer you. These were found while going through some boxes in the garage during a clean up this weekend. Enjoy. Ceramic Boxer Baby in nappy made in Japan guessing circa 50's? Pretty ugly, but to be fair he's probably just been through a few rounds! Found at a garage sale as I recall. Approx. 5.5 inches. Posted by Grant Terry.

utter dapper amass: Beer, a mug's drink.....
http://utterdapperamass.blogspot.com/2009/03/beer-mugs-drink.html
Tuesday, 31 March 2009. Beer, a mug's drink. Continuing with the mug theme, I found this cool "Beer" mug a few weeks ago at the local Sunday markets and it cost me a whopping five bucks! It is made in Japan and the fella I purchased it from says it's roughly 1960's. The bamboo look fits in just great with my tiki mug collection. Although I am a big fan of the tiki mug, I must say I am more partial to a nice cold beer rather than a cocktail, so I would say it has found the right home! Posted by Grant Terry.

utter dapper amass: The Creature Feature.....
http://utterdapperamass.blogspot.com/2009/04/creature-feature.html
Thursday, 16 April 2009. Model Kit #426 Aurora Plastics Corporation, Circa 1960's). This piece is a favourite of mine. The model kit was probably assembled by some thrilled kid in the 60's and has remained untouched. I have chose to leave it in this original state, with it's sloppy glued joints and the amateurish paint job with blood and all! I think it gives it character and besides I don't think it would be right to re-work it anyway. Found at the Granville model car and toy swap meet, around 2003.

utter dapper amass: Alison's Owl.....
http://utterdapperamass.blogspot.com/2009/04/gus-mclaren.html
Sunday, 5 April 2009. I finally got down to Outré. Sydney and picked up this little McLaren. Owl that they had put away for me. It was a surprise gift for my wife, Alison, who had shown a liking to him in the most recent Outré catalogue. Needless to say, she was thrilled and the boys, including myself, have also taken to this little fellow. Absolutely authentic and wonderfully crafted.". 8212; this exert was taken from the Outré. 8212; photo compliments of mclaren-pottery.com. Posted by Grant Terry.

utter dapper amass: Nod if you're a drunk scott.....
http://utterdapperamass.blogspot.com/2009/03/nod-if-youre-drunk-scott.html
Friday, 27 March 2009. Nod if you're a drunk scott. I got this fella from an antique store about 10 years ago for $25, I only remember this because the price is still stuck on the bottom. At first he looks to be made of ceramic but I think the material may be papier maché? He not only has a wobbly/nodding head but also serves as a money box. Looks to be hand-painted and his moustache appears to be real animal fur! Posted by Grant Terry. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Complete; total; absolute.

utter dapper amass: Avon Calling.....
http://utterdapperamass.blogspot.com/2009/04/avon-calling_25.html
Saturday, 25 April 2009. Cologne bottle, 2 fl oz. By Avon Products. Pty Limited, Sydney. We found this cool little islander girl bottle while on our honeymoon, 7 years ago to the day, at a little thrift store somewhere near Grafton on the New South Wales far north coast. I couldn't remember where we acquired it until Alison soon reminded me of how some "dimwit" locked the keys in the car! It was Anzac Day. So I just thought to jump on google and do some research and low and behold. check this! 3 Works of...

utter dapper amass: The dog's lounge.....
http://utterdapperamass.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post.html
Sunday, 29 March 2009. This is our two-seater that lives in our sunroom. A good pal gave it to me a few years back after finding it on a kerbside pickup, yep a rubbish pile, of course it was in quite a different state when it was found, but he thought I may be able to do something with it. It was missing the cushions, there was a heap of dog hair over the base and the wood veneer surface was not in the best condition, however I was surprised to find the black vinyl covering was fine after a wipedown.
