It has been a fantastic summer of cast iron collecting this year! If you are not on my email list yet, I suggest you get on it, you don’t want to miss out!! (Details below) THERE ARE 21 MORE ITEMS UP FOR SALE IN THIS AUCTION.  I have banks ranging in age from 1880’s to the 1950's. I generally collect but I have been having fun with these auctions so I’m picking up “extras” when I find them now & offering them to all you collectors out there on Ebay. I hit all the garage & estate sales, flea markets, antique shows & some Ebay treasures!!!! I have banks manufactured by all the major manufacturers. I also have branched out into some of my other cast iron interests, mainly doorstops & paperweights but I have some unexpected surprises as well. Always no reserve and starting at $.99 because I feel the quality the items will speak for themselves and get a fair price.If you would like, send me your email & I will add you to the list & notify you when I have an auction. I ONLY us this info to send you info on my Ebay auctions, absolutely nothing else.           You are bidding on an art deco Cleopatra incense burner. Manufactured by an unknown company c1930’s is my best guess, looks like Ronson or Frank Art type piece. Anything Egyptian was all the rage after Carter discovered King Tut’s tomb in 1927. The lady is in great shape, Bronze plated, it’s mostly intact, most of the missing plate is on the bottom. The paint job is outstanding, hand painted in red, green and blue. Beautiful detail as you can see in the picture. Excellent paint, retains 99% of the original finish. No cracks, chips or breaks unless stated.  The burner is 2 3/4” tall x 10 7/8” long.       I suggest to the winner to print a copy of this auction, it will increase the resale value of your purchase tremendously having this information as a hard copy along with the bank. You are paying for this information, make use of it! Plus it’s fun to look back in 20 years and say I only paid $200 for that way back when. Most of the banks today selling for $200-$400 were $15-$50 in the mid 1970’s, big money when the reference guides I have were printed.   Please ask any and all questions before auction ends.
