Why You’ll Love It
Playful, whimsical, and filled with delightful character, this retired 2006 Randall Zadar miniature titled “Cool Little Cars #3” features an adorable little mouse driver cruising in a charming vintage-style roadster finished in cobalt blue and white with silver detailing. Produced as #124 of Zadar’s creations, this enchanting micro miniature was exceptionally limited, with only 6 examples ever created in this blue colorway. Crafted using the ancient lost wax bronze casting process, each Randall Zadar miniature began as a hand-sculpted wax original before being individually cast and meticulously hand finished by the artist. Despite its tiny scale, the piece is packed with personality—from the mouse’s oversized ears and green sweater to the wonderful automotive details throughout. This cheerful treasure makes a delightful shelf sitter for a dollhouse nursery, garage, toy display, child’s room, or whimsical transportation vignette.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
