Bell Remnants - Auctions, Estate Sales & Antiques Wholesale & Retail Antiques ~ Live & Online Auctions ~ Estate Sales ~ MS Licensed Auctioneer #202

Bell Remnants has been in business for over -40- years, originally as a firm in the business of buying and selling scrap metal, evolving to retail sale of remnant fabrics, operating a number of retail stores across the south, with home offices in Jackson, Mississippi. During the 1990's, the business grew to include the liquidation of estates, primarily involving antiques and collectibles, with mai

l order sales marketed through such publications as "Antique Trader" and other weekly trade papers, shipping thousands of items across the United States. As the internet became more prominent, Bell Remnants began marketing online in the year 2000, through eBay, Craigslist, Etsy, and other e-commerce venues. Most recently, our firm has chosen to promote our offerings through Facebook, engaging our clients through social networking, promoting our auctions, estate sales, and sale of antiques and collectibles. Today, even though our firm primarily sells wholesale to the trade, antique stores, dealers, and interior decorators, we continue to ship thousands of items worldwide, marketed online, through our e-commerce partners. As auctioneers, operating under the Mississippi Auctioneer Commission License #202, our firm engages in business and estate liquidations, government auctions, and charity events, not wholly focused on antiques. Contact us anytime if you have a large number of items to sell, or if you are seeking specific antiques or collectibles, and remember ... THE PONY SAYS ~ COME TO THE SALE!

Anyone familiar with McComb, Mississippi native artist Valerie Winn, or her art ... Please share ... This example comes from a local estate we are liquidating ~ What we know so far ๐Ÿ‘‰ Hand-painted double gourd art vessel by Valerie Winn, standing 9" to the natural stem and measuring 4.5" in diameter across the lower body. The piece is formed from a dried natural gourd with a rounded lower bulb, narrowed waist, elongated upper bulb, and retained curved stem, painted in metallic copper with black outlined decorative panels, green leaf forms, purple spiral medallions, red scroll banding, and gold accent panels. The underside is artist-signed Valerie Winn in black script.

Valerie Winn is a Mississippi artist and writer associated with the Gulf Coast arts community and is documented as a native of McComb, Mississippi. Her background includes art education, journalism, regional writing, acrylic, watercolor, and pen-and-ink artwork, and recognition through a Mississippi Arts Commission Literary Arts Fellowship. Gallery references also document her brightly colored painted decorative works, including Fanciful Flasks and Book/Bottles, placing this signed gourd within her broader body of painted folk-art and decorative art objects.

The painted design has a strong Southern folk-art and contemporary decorative-art presence, using the natural gourd shape as the foundation for a stylized figural and botanical surface treatment. The copper ground, black linework, green leaves, purple spirals, red border, and gold highlights create a vivid hand-painted composition suited for display as regional Mississippi art, folk art, gourd art, shelf decor, or collector interest connected to Valerie Winnโ€™s McComb and Mississippi Gulf Coast background.

A vintage battery operated Modern Toys IRON HORSE battery-operated tin lithograph locomotive with original box, measuring approximately 14" in length, approximately 5" in height, and approximately 3" in width.

This Japanese-made toy locomotive is finished in black with gold lithographed detailing, bright red wheels, a red front cowcatcher, silver-tone side rod, brass-tone bell, molded engineer figure at the cab window, and IRON HORSE lettering to the cab side. The box identifies the toy as battery operated, MADE IN JAPAN, and distributed by F. W. Woolworth Co., New York, N.Y., with Woolworth / Woolco markings.

The locomotive is designed as a self-propelled novelty train with bump-and-go MYSTERY ACTION movement and multiple operating features. It accepts two D cell batteries and is equipped with a flashing light in the steam dome, an internally produced bell or clanging sound, whistling sound, and a moving engineerโ€™s arm that pulls the bell cord during operation. The video demonstration shows the toy functioning, confirming powered movement and the working animated and sound-producing features.

The locomotive itself is described as mint condition, with strong color, clean lithographed graphics, bright red wheels, and well-preserved decorative detail. The original illustrated cardboard box is included and printed IRON HORSE with feature callouts including MYSTERY ACTION, WHISTLING SOUND, FLASHING LIGHT, and CLANG CLANG BELL SOUND. The box suffers from extreme wear, including heavy creasing, tears, crushing, edge loss, surface wear, and general age deterioration, but remains an important original packaging component.

This boxed IRON HORSE locomotive is well suited for collectors of Japanese tin toys, battery-operated locomotives, Modern Toys / Masudaya-style production, Woolworth and Woolco store toys, mid-century novelty trains, and vintage railroad-themed mechanical toys.

For either, click on the โ€œLOGIN / NEW BIDDERโ€ menu item at bellremnants.hibid.com or the specific auction page

You are not required to provide your credit card information to register and participate in our auctions ~ If you are a successful bidder and wish to pay by credit card, you may do so when invoiced directly by us through Square ~ We choose not to utilize the HiBid credit card processor, even if you have a card on file with HiBid.

PLEASE MAKE SURE to enter your email address correctly, along with your telephone number without parentheses, hyphens or spaces, such as 5045814919.

After successful registration, you are ready to bid. To place a bid, simply click the bid button on the desired lot. You may automate the bidding process by entering a maximum bid, which would be your proxy or absentee bid. A maximum bid is the highest amount you are willing to pay for an item, but also ensures that you will only pay the lowest amount possible to win the item. For example, if you wish to place an opening bid for $10, with a maximum bid of $100, you are guaranteed to win the item for any amount between $10 to $100 unless someone bids higher than $100. However, you will pay only as much that is required to maintain your "high bidder status" and hopefully be the highest bidder at closing.

Contact us if you have any questions about registering or bidding - Please understand, it is often difficult for us to accept all telephone calls, once the live bidding starts.

A matched pair of decorative wall sconces formed in gold gilt finished metal with sculptural grapevine ornamentation, each fixture measuring approximately 20" in overall height and 16" in width when mounted, projecting outward from the wall approximately 56". Each sconce carries a substantial weight of approximately 3 pounds 8 ounces, reflecting solid metal construction and dense ornamental detailing.
Each fixture is anchored by a circular 3" wall mount plate with exposed wiring provision at the base, the plate visually centered by a cast figural bow motif that serves as the structural transition into the branching decorative framework. From this mount, a series of scrolling metal arms and vine-like stems extend outward and upward in layered arcs, supporting two candle-form light sockets fitted with simulated wax sleeves designed to receive candelabra-base bulbs. The candle cups present an ornate fluted profile with classical influence, complementing the surrounding botanical forms.

The decorative field surrounding the lighting arms is composed of numerous individually formed metal grape leaves, curling tendrils, and dimensional clusters of grapes arranged in an organic branching composition. The leaves present serrated edges and veined relief, while the grape clusters are rendered as tightly grouped rounded berries suspended beneath curling stems. The entire assembly carries a warm gold gilt finish across the metal surfaces, creating visual depth as light reflects across the layered foliage and sculptural vinework.

Stylistically, the fixtures present a blend of decorative traditions frequently associated with mid-century Hollywood Regency interiors while drawing clear ornamental vocabulary from Italian Renaissance revival and Florentine decorative metalwork, where grapevine and vineyard imagery symbolize abundance and classical European garden design. The resulting composition presents an expressive wall lighting form combining architectural lighting function with sculptural decorative presence suitable for traditional, Mediterranean, or historic interior environments.
A substantial and visually dramatic pair of wall sconces featuring gilt metal grapevine ornament, scrolling arms, grape clusters, and candle-form lighting elements, offering strong decorative presence for dining rooms, entry halls, wine rooms, or restoration projects involving historic or classically styled interiors.

The ITALIAN RENAISSANCE REVIVAL and DECORATIVE ARTS

The Italian Renaissance Revival style in decorative arts is characterized by its emphasis on classical motifs, often incorporating elements such as grotesques adorned with fantastical creatures intertwined with grapevines, or scrolled foliage echoing the delicate tendrils of grape leaves. Rich materials and ornate details, inspired by the art and design of 16th-century Italy, are evident in the depictions of mythological figures, perhaps Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, surrounded by bountiful grape clusters. Putti, those chubby, winged infants, might be portrayed playfully harvesting grapes or holding aloft overflowing cornucopias. Heavy fabrics like velvets, brocades, and damasks, adorned with intricate grapevine patterns, were popular choices for upholstery and draperies. Dark wood furniture, often made of walnut or other rich timbers, was frequently carved with classical motifs, including grape clusters and leaves, and embellished with gilt accents.
