Description :

Cutting the cheese, literally and figuratively! For your next poker get-together...

Two retro cheese serveware items:

- Yellow ceramic cheese plate from Tilso Japan with little grey mice nibbling away. Measures approximately 3" H x 5.5" W with no maker mark.  Pair of matching mice toothpick holders for skewering the cheese (original toothpicks included). Please note that there are a couple of chips on the cover of the tray, but the figures are so great that you really don't notice them. From late 1950s/early 1960s.

Second cheese tray is from Julie Pomerantz's "Goodwood" line with a solid wood bottom and thick glass top.  Appears to be new and unused. Measures approx. 6.5" H x 7" W. (box is in poor shape)


Cheesy decor for the get-together:

Wall hanging featuring a version of poker playing dogs. Appears to be from cotton flannel and is in good vintage condition. Measures 33" H x 54" W.

Avon's version of poker playing dogs is a new and unused card & soap set. From 1984.

Most poker games during the time these items were made included a smoky atmosphere, so we are including a vintage advertising ashtray from Firestone Tires. It's very authentic - note the cigarette burns! Measures approx. 6" W. From 1960s.

Shiny new cashbox/bank to store your winnings.
