1 brass button of the Eagle and the Stag, 1890

 Item — Box: CFC Buttons Box 1
Identifier: CFC2019.0198.1.44
Abstract Though this theme of the eagle and stag is listed as a standard button motif, I have no idea what the fable is that is depicted! This button is a bright, very shiny brass piece folded over a different back with yet a third independent piece forming the shank. Help?! BBB shows a similar motif in an apparently smaller button (Plate 154 #27), and for #5 on Plate 153 describes the following story from Pilpay. A stag led his family on the search for food and water. As the land became unfamiliar,...

1 brass button of the Eagle and the Stag, 1890

 Item — Box: CFC Buttons Box 1
Identifier: CFC2019.0198.1.45
Abstract

See my other button showing this fable for the story. This is a darker button with a stag running left in the foreground and an eagle moving right above. Flora fill in the open spaces around the circumference, with another rim added around the scene. Stamped and tinted brass, with a steel back and wire shank.

1 circular Fox and Crow button, brass surrounded by metal studs, 1890

 Item — Box: CFC Buttons Box 1
Identifier: CFC2019.0198.1.47
Abstract

The pattern is the same as that on the Wiedeman button of similar proportions, but the button comes from a different mold; that is, two artists worked from the same visual pattern to make two different metal casts. The central circle containing the scene is slightly loose and off-center. Two-piece construction, with a metal eyelet welded onto the back. These studs do not have the luster of the Monleón buttons.

1 circular Fox and Crow button, red-tinted brass, 1890

 Item — Box: CFC Buttons Box 1
Identifier: CFC2019.0198.1.46
Abstract

Though the image seems very famliar, I cannot place the button in BBB. The scene is basically the same as that on my two Monleón buttons. The button itself is of one-piece construction, with a metal eyelet welded onto the back.

2 circular Fox and Crow buttons, 1890

 Item — Box: CFC Buttons Box 1
Identifier: CFC2019.0198.1.51-52
Abstract One image is silver in color, the other bronze. Ms. Monleón had lots of animal figurines, and so I came up with a challenge that she must have some fable figurines. She countered that she had buttons of FG but may not be able to find them. Why? She had hid them because she did not want to sell them! After fifteen minutes of searching she found them! This was the start of my fable button collecting! BBB Plate 152 #12 shows the same sort of facetted steels; the design, though distinct, comes...

3 Aesop's Fables Puzzles, 1958

 Item — Box: CFC Puzzles Box 2
Identifier: CFC2018.0251.1
Abstract

Each of three thirty-piece puzzles includes a printed fable as part of its picture: LM, TH, and FC. I knew there had to be some old picture puzzles out there, and this is the first that I found.

3D Ant & Grasshopper poster with promotional letter, 2000

 Item — Box: CFC Advertising Box 2
Identifier: CFC2020.0010.1
Abstract

“Dear Doctor: We are pleased to send you the fifth 3-dimensional wall unit in our six-part series, Aesop’s fables. It is based on the famous story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”, which teaches us that nobody believes a liar, even when he is telling the truth. Those who are philosophically minded might say that there is more to the story than meets the eye. Was the boy who cried wolf merely playful…”

3D Fox and Crow, 1960

 Item — Box: CFC Postcards Box 4
Identifier: CFC2018.0378.10.1
Abstract

A three-dimensional image like that of FC on this postcard is not, in my experience, computer-friendly. This image has a very well posed clay figurine waiting beneath the crow. In the background are a windmill, a red fence, and some trees. I do believe that this card is the first three-dimensional card in the collection.

4 Dust jackets ("Couverture Cahier") "Fables de La Fontaine", 1900

 File — Box: CFC Printed Materials Box 2
Identifier: CFC2021.0169.1
Abstract

I have been unconvinced and then convinced – mostly – that these four dust-jackets were published by Épinal of Pellerin. They are so much in the style of that firm that I simply presumed that they were the publishers. Unfortunately, there is no marking on them to indicate the publisher except the symbol on the front of all four jackets: a coat of arms "P S" and "Propriété des Editeurs." The least likely to come from Pellerin, it seems to me, is "Le Lion et le Chasseur."
