Skittle Me This

Antique painted skittles games, much like antique bowling sets, are all the rage, primarily for their folksy charm.

I wouldn't mind this set of sailor skittles keeping watch on my counter-top. According to seller Vintage Collectibles and Folk Art, they were made out of spindles.

Bright colors, good paint . . . what more could a collector want?
