See that, learning a new vintage toy is just like learning a new word: now you notice when they start turning up. Take this beautiful for example: the rattan doll pram Kay Bojesen designed in 1949 for Wengler, which is coming up at auction in Denmark. The wheels are a little worn, but otherwise, it looks to be in great condition. Though the estimate's high, it doesn't seem insane.

Meanwhile, I almost didn't post this one because I wanted it myself. This awesome painted plywood soldier by Kay Bojesen stands 112cm tall and would look great in a nursery. What's more, the estimate's practically free. As far as giant, painted plywood Bojesens go, anyway.
