Today's Mystery Item

Hi everyone! I have a new mystery item today. And, as you know, I love finding treasure but what I don't like is finding something I can't identify. While you're here, I hope you will check out my previous mystery items as well. We do have an answer on one of the pins as you will see in a previous post. Anyway, please read on and leave a comment. Thank you!

Today's mystery item is this neat looking woodsman holding an axe. This figure is 4-3/4" tall and is made of vinyl and plastic. His arms and head are jointed and he is marked ©CPC 82 HK. I believe the "82" stands for 1982, the year he was made. HK is probably Hong Kong. CPC may be Columbia Pictures Corp. which means he may be some character from an animated film. I thought he might be Cornelius from the movie, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys, but Cornelius had a beard. 

If you recognize this figure or have any information as to its origin, please contact me. I would appreciate it. Until next time, keep on treasure hunting!

It's Mystery Item Day - Have you seen this pin before?

I love finding treasure but what I don't like is finding something I can't identify. But thank goodness for the internet! Every friday, I will be writing about one of these mystery items in hopes that someone reading my blog may be familiar with it and can enlighten me.

My first item is a tiny pin, measuring just over 1/2" in width. I think maybe its some kind of anniversary pin for some kind of agricultural organization. Pin is sterling silver and has a regular pin back that has a locking mechanism. Pin features a deep blue enamel star with a 2 and a 5 on the left and right points. There is a teeny sheave of gold wheat in the very center (I don't know if the gold is real). Pin is stamped "sterling" on the back.

Please let me know if you have seen this pin before or have any information as to its origin. I appreciate your taking time to check out today's mystery item. 

Until next time, keep on treasure hunting!
