Antiques Creepshow - Jester head spider.

Today's Antique Mall Gem is this whimsical disembodied jester head spider, which one lucky reader can take home at an unbeatable price.
This happy little fellow comes to us from the late 1920s, and is expertly crafted from cotton muslin and porcelain by the legendary jester makers of Gottingen, Germany. He has no body, but he will scuttle his way into your heart on his five pseudopodia, complete with real brass jingles!

Imagine your child's delight when he/she opens his/her birthday/holiday/confirmation/mitzvah/horror-day gift to reveal our lovable little jester, leering up at him/her with his green eyes and toothy grin. He/she will have endless hours of old-fashioned fun re-enacting the memorable runaway alien head scene from John Carpenter's 1982 film, The Thing.

Any parent would be proud to be able to give a gift of this old-world quality at any price. And, at the we're-not-jesting price of $120, why aren't you on the phone right now? International orders are bellisimo, with a $75 handling fee. Craftsmanship from a bygone age. 20th century whimsy. The staff here at P.A.G.say this adorable punchinello is "jest The Thing" for anyone's curio cabinet or child's room! Operator is standing by, on top of a very tall table!
