Just a mish-mash of sugar & creamers- the silver ones on the right were a wedding gift to my parents in 1939. There is a set of Poppytrail, Franciscan,Fiesta Ware, some cute English village ones, a set of honey bee/ beehive, and even a cheap set from Target. Aren't they fun?

Beautiful! I especially like the honeycomb and silver ones. Can you please tell us more about these? Also, is the silver cast or repousse, please? Thank you! miKKo
I'm not sure about the silver. The manufacturers mark is WB Mfg Co. It shines right up when I polish it, but I'm not sure exactly how it was made. It looks cast to me. The outside is silver, the inside looks like brass. The honeycomb is unmarked, but has tiny hairline cracks, so I've always felt it was quite old. We got the set (It also includes a little teapot/coffee pot) for a wedding present 34 years ago, but it looked vintage even then. It just doesn't look 1970s to me.
I love them both! The silver is Weidlich Brothers Manufacturing Co. Here's a link to an interesting item by the same firm.

Thanks for the love, miKKo, vetraio50 and bellin68!
Thanks for the info about the WB Mfg co. miKKo! That piece in the link is just gorgeous!
I have trouble not hoarding cream and sugars. They are so fun. Love these.
very nice!
I forgot to tell you that I also love the Devon Ware. That would look great in my blue and white kitchen!
