SUPER-rare 1950s Schlitz still bank

neato circa 1910 graniteware salt box

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

next up, something else for the walls of your antiquey kitchen,

to wit, a cast iron match safe  SOLD

Back in the day, these were needed.  

If you wanted to use your gas stove, you had to have a match to light the pilot light.

the lid
======================================================================

another marvelous box  SOLD

                                That piece at the left is actually the lid of a smaller box in the box.

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

let's return to the 1930s for this VERY fantastic hand-sewn quilt top



Wish I knew the name of the quilt pattern.
=======================================================================
 
now for something really cute and appealing
miniature basket covers with hundreds of tiny snail shells, with tiny conch shells at the top.
 
===================================================================
 
Lastly, but far far from leastly is one of THE MOST amazing things I've ever had.
 
circa 1910 carved wooden boxer dog
Not just a big beautiful carving of a dog.
 
He can hold a bottle!
Wine, beer, water, you name it. 
 
The only limitations are: 
The shoulder of the bottle can be no higher than 8.25", 
and the height of the bottle no higher than 12.25"

The PERFECT gift for the boxer dog lover who's also an oenophile!
========================================================================

That's it for today.
