today's antiques and untiques

A small-ish collection, but there is soooooooooo much more still in the pipeline.

Here we go!

Is your name Sprague?  SOLD

Neat pin, once belonging to a Sprague employee.

Sprague employee never took it off its original card.  Maybe he got the pin, then got a job with Sprague's competition, and therefore never wore it.  But he enjoyed his time with Sprague, so he kept it.

Maavelous Ernest Borel watch pendant

This is a wind-up watch that WORKS, and keeps PERFECT time.  Plus, as if the foregoing was not enough, the chain is gold-filled.   

========================================================================

Now these are something mega-special, 

to wit circa 1900 Derby Silver quardruple plate teapot and other pot.    SOLD

 Why do I say 'other pot,' when they both look like teapots?? 

That's because one is a little taller than the other.  If you've ever seen the classic 19th century tea set, there are two teapot-looking pots.  One for tea, obviously.  The other is for coffee?  Or glühwein? Or Ovaltine?  I honestly have no idea, which you may have already concluded.

Both came from the same place, looking almost black with tarnish, and looking only fit for the trash heap.  But they polished up BEAUTIFULLY.  And they look waayyyyy better in person than they look in the photos.  
=========================================================================

So that's it for today.  But know this: much MUCH more is on its way.
