Black baby hatching from egg!

[California Dream N]

While the sentiment behind the "egg baby" may be all Wrong. I love this piece.. I think it is a great addition to any collection. Times have certainly changed but that is what history is all about..Right? Congrats. I am jealous. [].. Norene

We recently Dug a small childs ABC plate that pictured a black couple and had a typical saying about fruit. But one looking deeper this plates saying was quite raciest. A very odd piece. My digging partner also has a small figurine of a black child screwing a chicken. He dug from a privy many years ago.

Now there are two pieces begging to be displayed together, a black child screwing a chicken and then a black baby hatching from an egg.

I love those little pieces of Americana, and so do some African American Collectors. I had one that showed a black boy up a palm tree and an alligator standing on the base lookin' up. It was a Florida souvenir that a black lady grabbed up for $$$. Don't sell those things short.

Check it out, I dug this yesterday. As soon as I saw the little ass sticking out I knew it was an egg with a baby in it. To bad it was broken. I searched and searched for the other half, but no luck. We did get some decent bottles, but nothing out of the ordinary. Chris

Yeah, I thought the same thing. The funny thing is this was the first pit I dug after seeing his pics. Who would have thought? The guy I've been digging with has dug this town for thirty years. He said it's fairly common to get things of that nature in this town. He said his best "afrocentric" find was a bisque doll of a black boy eating a big slice of watermelon. It was in really good shape with 90% of the paint being intact. He traded or sold it off a while back. Chris
