    A lot of "flotsam & Jetsam" this week. Seems like there were more sales this week but that could be because I went to a "neighborhood" sale with about 25 sales in close proximity.

      I'm gonna smack you.
      If I come back for a visit, can we go picking together?

      Anytime stef, I'll bring the coffee and you bring the cookies. It would probably help keep me focused.

      Nice haul!!! I got basically zip this last weekend, this coming should be awesome tho.

      Nice! Is that a wooden boomerang? and what is the object on the left side, laying atop the animal sewing cards? and is that a lead crystal candle holder or ashtray by that mimeograph machine-looking thingy?
    5. Bootson Bootson, 12 years ago
      Yes vintagemad, it ought to be a good weekend up there being the Memorial Day weekend. Wish I had time to go sailing up there, post some pictures if you get a chance.

      mrmajestic1,
      Yes, the boomerang looks old and aboriginal.

      I have no clue what that iron thing is, was hoping someone here might know.

      Yes there 2 Orrefors candle holders in the black boxes next to it.

      Love the chickens!!!, clock!!!, and pens.
    10. mrmajestic1 mrmajestic1, 12 years ago
      Been thinking about that object on the left side of the first pic. that I commented on and now think it to be a one dog-iron for holding fireplace logs, along with andirons, or a large pinch dog; used in woodworking to hold pieces of wood together. As large as it is maybe a dog used in the lumber industry?

      Thanks trunkman.

      miKKoChristmas11,
      The sale with the chickens had a large assortment of items from the teens and quite a bit of doll house furniture. I didn't get to that sale till later in the morning. Always makes me wonder what I must have missed by not being there early.
      I wish there were more to go on to identify that clock. The only mark on it is 'Germany' in small type on the face. Maybe if I take it apart.
      The pens are actually all mechanical pencils. There was a box full of them and a box of advertising "bullet" pencils. I probably should have picked out more but didn't.

      scandinavian_pieces,
      The little boy is actually a Valintine, when he takes his hat off his other hand pivots out from behind his back with a Valentine in it.

      mrmajestic1,
      I don't know what a pinch dog is but it sounds like a good direction to research. I think it may be blacksmith made. Thanks for the good ideas.

      Ronald told me to tell you he is having a hard time breathing,,, just thought I would let you know. Love the display.
    13. Bootson Bootson, 11 years ago
      OK Kevin, you spurred me to action. I just posted the clock as 'Old vintage Clock'.

      First thing I have posted in a while.
