Noah's Ark  In the 19th and early 20 centuries, many families kept a wooden Noah's Ark set as a special "Sunday Toy." This tiny matchbox version of the ark features a giraffe, two mysterious green-eyed cats, a chicken and sheep. Animals may vary slightly from set to set. Be sure to see our splendid full-size Heirloom Noah's Ark, too. $20.00. SHS110

Village Fire Company Fire and smoke poor out of an old half-timbered house. One fireman gets ready to mount the ladder, hose in hand, while the other tends the water pump. An homage to firefighters everywhere. $20.00. SHS115
