![]() There is an SD 37 also which is the same size as the cookie jar. ![]() The “Three Monk” bank in the center is SD 35. Note the coin slot on SD 29 is in t he back of the collar. Picture #23 (left) shows us the friar banks. #22 (right) shows us the shiny double egg timer, E 96, the single egg timer, E 104, and an older double which can be found with many colors of sand in the glass. In picture #21 (left), we have two friar thermometers with both red and blue mercury, KF 56, surrounding a perpetual calendar holder. Note the different colored bibles on each sign. The run was limited to about 200 pieces worldwide and had to be purchased from the club by members only. Center stage is a special edition that Goebel made for the members of The Friar Collectors Club only. The left one is an older one and the right one is the newest one. We see the advertising signs or plaques in picture #20 (below right). Picture #19 (left) gives us one of the most attractive of all the friars, the bookends. Next to them are the oil and vinegar cruets, M80. The stopper and pourer are never marked nor do they have the incised numbers. ![]() Next in #18 (right), we see a bottle stopper and a pourer, XP 75 and XP 78 in a yellow holder arch, XP 47. Many collectors who don’t read this column, might think this is a spoon rest, but you know better. In picture #17 (left), we have KL 94 which is a liquor tot, E 95 A & B, 4 egg cups on a tray, and the other true friar ashtray, RF 142. Next in #16 (right), we see a complete smoking set, RX 104 A, B, C which are a cigarette holder, a match holder with striker, and the tray is a true ashtray. To his right, we also have a napkin ring, X 98. However, it will not fit the match boxes found in the USA, so ask a friend in Europe to send you a few. In picture #15 (left), we see RX 111, a match box holder. KF60 A, B &C, the musician monks, as seen in picture #14 (right), are the only friar figurines. The debate goes on and on as to what these are. The bottom has the inscription, “Collector Classics 1996” and is 57 422 20.Ĭandy dish or ash tray in picture #13 (left)? The ZF 43/0, ZF 43/I and ZF 43/II technically denotes a candy dish, but note the notch for a cigarette on the smallest one. In 1996, in celebration of their 125 years in business, goebel produced the friar clock as seen in #12 (right).
