Description

The listing, GRANDMA JEWELS STEAMER TRUNK-HANDCARVED THINGY has ended.

I didn't know what this was when I found it - then I saw some listed on here for over 400,000 credits- wow was I shocked! So here is this thingy I found in grandmas trunk-sorry I do not know anything about it? Grandma has passed away and nobody to ask to get any type of history on this piece

Questions & Comments

Very interesting item to be sure! But I get that whole creepy thing! Did y'all ever see "Trilogy Of Terror"? It does remind me of that African wood doll that terrorized Karen Black with knives under the door when it's rope or hair or something fell off. And this one appears to have no hair!!! Ooohhh!!! Lol!!! Great conversation piece, or collectors item to be sure! Even for just the thrill of scaring people with it! Thanks for offering!

Nov 19th, 2013 at 9:53:31 AM PST by

I found exact tiki wood carving but all the ones I find have hair. Maybe he lost his! LOL. He still looks cool.

Nov 19th, 2013 at 3:34:27 PM PST by

Maybe so-lol...I do know i was terrified of it when I was little. It was on bookcase in the hall and I would run by it as fast as I could.. 40 years later I still don't like it!!!

Nov 19th, 2013 at 4:17:33 PM PST by

So let me understand.. you call this a "Thingy".. but you Assume its handcarved.. also you say youve seen another here sell for 400k credits.. they MUST have listed alot more info if they got those kind of credits.. couldnt you have atleast gotten some info from the ones you have seen?.. I see your not New to this p[lace so you should know that u need ALOT more info to get any desent amount of credits.. I reallly like this but I will not bid if I cant get atleast , an approx. date.. century, Circa... and a location.. is it Americana, african, central america... please try to find out a lil more info and im sure your bids will sky rocket.

Nov 19th, 2013 at 5:58:51 AM PST by

As I stated it was my grandmas and she has passed away and so has my mother so there is nobody to ask !??? I can tell its HANDCARVED and I know it's pretty old. I remember it as a child - I always thought it was creepy so I have all the info I have. The ones I saw on here were from Africa and fertility statues she had 2 of them that's why I started bids at 499- if u are unsure then please do not bid. This is all the info I have thanks

Nov 19th, 2013 at 6:16:55 AM PST by

Handcarved wood

Nov 19th, 2013 at 5:18:04 AM PST by

Here's what I have found: These are Handmade in Indonesia of Teak wood and are sold all over as souvenirs ; not rare by any means. You can buy them in any beach area like Hawaii, California, Virginia, Florida etc. This one is missing it's hair. How long have they been making them and how old is yours I do not know.. They have the name of the beach area where they are sold written on but it can easily be wiped off
