THE    FLYER   RAILROAD    TRAIN-New. 

f  1 — The  most  elegant  and  elaborate  toy  which  we  have  presented  to  the  public.  It  consists  of 
a  locomotive,  tender  and  passenger  coach,  decorated  in  gilt  and  natural  colors.  The  locomo- 
tive and  tender  together  are  twenty-six  inches  long,  and  are  the  most  perfect  model  of  a  first- 
ciass  American  passenger  engine  ever  made  as  a  toy.  The  car  is  eighteen  inches  long,  and 
represents  a  first-class  Drawing  Room  Car,  in  natural  colors,  with  the  passengers  at  the 
windows.     The  whole  train  is  about  forty-five  inches  long  when  shackled  up. 

The  above  cut  is  engraved  directly  from  a  photograph  from  the  toy,  and  represents 
accurately  the  proportions  and  construction  of  the  several  parts.  Every  thing  represented 
in  the  cut  appears  on  the  toy  exactly  as  shown Price,  $18  00  per  dozen. 


THE   EXCURSION    STEAMBOAT-New. 

2 — This  is  the  largest  single  toy  we  have  ever  made,  it  being  twenty-four  inches  long,  five 
inches  wide,  and  nine  and  one-half  inches  high  to  top  of  smoke-stack. 

There  are  two  tiers  of  cabins  ;  the  decks  are  supported  by  posts,  and  the  netting 
encircling  the  decks  is  represented  in  a  neat  and  durable  style. 

When  the  boat  is  drawn  over  the  floor  the  walking-beam  works  up  and  down  in  a  natural 
manner.  The  whole  is  beautifully  finished  in  natural  colors,  and  makes  a  very  large  and 
elegant  toy  for  the  price  at  which  it  is  sold Price,  $9  00  per  dozen.

combination  toy  with  a

little  toy  in  itself,  with  the 
oxen  which  may  be  yoked 

mto  it.  Also  the  horseback 
rider  is  made  in  such  a 
manner  that  he  may  be

inal combinations  may  be  made,  such  as  platform  cars,  wagons,  carts,  and  representations 
of  chariots,  steam  fire-engines,  etc.,  etc.  In  fact  the  combinations  are  unlimited — all  the  parts 
are  held  in  place  by  friction.  The  whole  is  put  uj^in  a  bos;  representing  a  Railway  Station, 
and  forms  a  toy  which  NEVER  TIRES.     The  toy  is  put  up  in  two  forms.

the  scenes  often  witnessed  at  such  times. 

In  this  and  others  of  our  toys  we  introduce  our  superior  style  of  animals,  which  for  sym- 
metrical form  and  neatness  of  construction  have  never  been  approached  in  this  country.  In 
fact,  no  other  cheap  toy  animals  ever  made  have  had  the  natural  and  life-like  outline  which 
are  found  in  ours.     Price,  |9.00  per  dozen.

CRANDALL'S  BRIDGE. 


4^ — This  beautifql,  toy  svpplies  a  want 
long  felt  and  expresseii  by  boUi  parents  and

20    1879— Oataloglte  and  Frice  List  op  CrA'MEfe  and  Novklties.— 1880. 


consists  of  ocer  120  pieces,  affords  a  pleasure 
which  is  much  increased  by  the  fact  that 
something  is  to  be  made — a  specific  object  in 
view.  It  teaches  the  most  prominent  points 
which  Architects  must  consider  in  building 
the  immense  structures  tlial  span  our  broad 
rivers,  viz.  :  1st,  the  Pier ;  2d,  the  Posts  ; 
3d,  the  Stringers  ;  4th,  the  Approaches  ;  5th, 
the  Braces  ;  6th,  the  Floors  ;  and,  7th,  Orna- 
mentation, etc.  The  building  of  this  beauti- 
ful miniature  Bridge  requires  the  observance 
of  all  these  points  as  truly  as  does  the  build- 
ing of  the  large  and  structures  referred  to. 
The  various  parts  are'sb  ^impl^,'  and  plainly 
suggest  their  places  and  Uses,  that  the  illus-' 
trated  chart  given  with  each  set  i^  all  thajt  i^ 
necessary.  Besides  the  Bridge,  many  hew 
and  attraCliye  designs  can  be  made  from  t^e 
detached 'pieces,  which  will  readily  be  dis- 
covered by  the  ingenious  boy  or  girl  who  be-

If  you  would  add  to  the  beauty  of  your 
Homes,  hang  your  pictures  and  decorate 
your  rooms  with 


00 


Over  Arches,  Windows,  Doors,  on  Cur- 
tains, Picture  Frames,  or  Statuary.  The 
universal  opinion  is  they  are  ^"Perfectly 
Lovely,'"  being  perfect  fac-similes  of  Na- 
ture's handicraft.  These  Viries  are  superior 
tq  the  pressed  leaves  and  ferns,  in.  that  they 
being  made  of  cloth  and  wire,  are  more  dur- 
able, can  be  cleansed  when  soiled,  arranged 
more  gracefully,  and  will  last  for  years.  The 
main  vine  is  made  of  Annealed  Wire,  and 
can  be  safely  trusted  to  hang  pictures.

Half  the  noise  in  tlae  School  Room  is  produced  by  rattling

desks.  If  the  slate  is  dropped,  it  is  iwt  broken  and  the  noise  is  muf- 
fled and  slight. 

We  offer  Andrew's  Slates  as  the  best  School  Slates  ever  put  upon 
the  market.  They  are  an  A  1  quality  of  slate,  cemented  into  solid 
hard  wood  frames,  the  corners  mortised,  tenoned,  and  carefully 
glued  together,  surrounded  by  strong  felted  or  corded  bands  glued

Ttie  Bonanza  Money  Holder. 

An  article  for  carrying  smal,,  pieces  oj  coin  in  a 
compact  form  in  tJie  porkei. 


The  inconvenience  of  carrying  a  lot  of 
small  change  loose  in  the  pocket  is  known  by 
everybody.  It  is  difficult  to  find  a  five  cent 
nickel  or  a  ten  cent  piece  without  diving  into 
your  pocket  three  or  four  times,  and  then 
you  are  obliged  to  pull  out  everything,  very 
often  dropping  two  or  three  pieces  of  money 
before  finding  what  you  want.        I^p",i         ■* 

The  Bonanza'  Money  Holder  is  a  small 
nickel-plated  Tube,  which  holds  the  coin  in  a 
compact  form,  registering  the  amount  of  cash 
on  hand,  and  is  always  ready.  It  is  worked 
by  a  spring  on  the,  inside,  which  presses  the 
coin  to  each  end.  By  a|  slight  pressure  of 
the  thumb  on  the  top,  you  can  slip  a  piece  off 
into  your  hand,  and  another  appears  in.|its 
pli^ce.  Every  time  a  coin  is  taken  off  the 
gauge  raises  one  notch,,  ancj  indjcates  ,  the 
number  left.  This  can  tie  done  as  fast  as  you 
can  count.  It,  is  an  article  that  ever^^body 
needs  and  will  have  wh^n  tjiey  se,e  how 
handy  and  cony^nji^nt.  it  is  to  cany  in  the 
pocket.

THE  CUNNING  MOUSE. 


570 — This  new  toy  is  one  that  is  unusually 
attractive.  It  consists  of  a  perfect  fuU-dzed 
mouse,  which  moves  on  ireighted  rollers,  so  that 
it  can  be  shot  from  the  hand  a  long  distance, 
running  under  chairs,  tables,  &c. ,  in  close 
resemblance  to  a  live  mouse.  These  mice 
being  made  of  metal,  do  not  receive  injury 
when  handled  roughly.  When  one  of  them 
is  placed  on  its  back  it  will  quickly  roll  over 
and  resume  its  natural  position.

find  it  perfectly  empty,  while  the  owner  may 
take  tobacco  from  it  at  his  pleasure.  It  is

THE  DANOma  SKELETON. 

695— A  jointed 
figure  of  a  skele- 
ton, 14  incht-s  in 
height,  will  dance 
to  music,  slow  or

act time,  and  per- 
forms various  gy- 
rations and  move- 
ments, while  the 
operator  may  be  at 
any  distance  from 
it.  The  figure 
may  be  examined 
by  the  spectators, 
who  cannot  dis- 
cover the  motive  power.  Wiieii  iiiiudci  u  .ck 
to  the  operator,  it  is  simply  placed  upon  a 
chair,  when  it  seemingly  beconn's  endowed 
with  life,  and  begins  to  move.  At  the  com- 
mand of  the  operator,  who  may  be  in  any 
part  of  the  room,  it  will  lie  dpwn,  stand  up, 
dance,  etc.  ,     ;        .  , 

For  exhibitiou  in'the  parlor,  before  social 
gatherings,  or  for  public  exhibition  in  the 
school  or  lecture  room,  there  is  nothing  more 
acceptable.  It  never  fails  to  create  a  sensa- 
tion, and  is  so  substantial  as  to  last  for  years. 

We  send  full  and  explicit  directions  with 
each  Skeleton,  by  the  aid  of  which  any  (me 
can  readily  make  it  perform,  to  the  astonish,

brilliant  color 
gives  it  a  very  at- 
tractive appear- 
ance. Its  action 
is  a  Ways  as  sure 
as  fate.  At  the 
word  of  the  per- 
former, it  moves 
either  fast  or 
slow  on  the 
string,  and  stops 
suddenly  at  word 

-J  I  .of  command.

ing feature  about 
it  which  is  often  of  great  utility  to  the  per- 
former. Should  an  outsider  desire  to  try  the 
trick,  the  performer  without  hesitation  gives 
it  into  his  hands.  The  novice  puts  the  ball 
ih  position,  and,  with  a'  look  of  gratified 
triumph,  prepares  to  manipulate  it,  when  lo  ! 
the  ball  descends  with  a  crash  upon  the  toes 
of  the  now  agonized  aspirant,  who  drops  the 
apparatus  in  disgust,  and  limps  painfully 
away,  amid  the  boisterous  laughter  of  the 
audience.      '  Price,  $2  GO  per  dozen.

A  NEW  ARTICLE  FOR  ORNAMENTAL  PURPOSES. 


747 — We  give  above  a  few  cuts  of  Ornamental  Work  made  with  our  Honey-Comb  Spirals. 
The  Spirals  are  delicate  shavings  of  wood  in  various  colors,  which  can  easily  be  made  into 

BASKETS,  BOXES,  SCREENS,  FRAMES,  WALL  POCKETS, 

and  other  articles  of  utility  and  ornament  too  numerous  to  mention. 

As  the  cost  of  the  material  is  trifling,  and  the  process  of  construction  simple^  it  will  afford 
old  and  young  pleasing  employment.  Instructions  and  diagrams  of  some  of  the  articles 
which  can  be  made. 

These  goods  will  work  up  into  far  handsomer  articles  than  the  common  spliijts,  and  will 
take  the  place  of  the  splints  which  have  now  so  large  and  extended  a  sale. 

They  come  in  all  shades:  plain  White,  or  assorted  Red- White,  Blue-White,  Pink-White, 
Green- White,  Purple-White  and  Yellow- White. 

These  goods  are  put  up  350  Spirals  in  bunch,  20  bunches  in  pasteboard  box,  20  pasteboard 
boxes  in  wood  case. 

Prices  of  White,  5  cents  per  bunch,  (250  Spirals.)  Prices  of  White,  85  cents  per  box  of  20 
bunches.  Prices  of  Colored,  8  cents  per  bunch,  (250  Spirals.)  Prices  of  Colored,  (assorted 
colors  in  boxes,)  |1  40  per  box  of  20  bunches. 

Sample  bunches  mailed,  post-paid,  on  receipt  of  price  and  5  cents  extra  to  cover  postage. 

As  far  as  may  be  possible,  order  in  full  even  boxes,  as  the  goods  pack  and  ship  much 
better  when  put  up  in  original  packages. 

Cotton  Covered  Wire,  used  for  shaping  Spiral  Fancy  Work.  Price,  5  cents  per  coil  of  5 
yards. 

Dealers  handling  Spirals  will  find  it  very  convenient  and  largely  increase  their  sales  by 
having  samples  of  the  goods  made.  We  oiler  samples  of  the  following  Ornaments  which  are 
very  pretty :
