  1. thank you all for the loves >:-)
  2. Very nice almost as nice as mine (big cheeky grin)
  3. PS says a Butter dish
  4. I Have one almost exactly the same. Complete with spoon, it belonged to my late wife. This one has no markings on the shell except for 13 on the glass part. The spoon has made in england "mayell" on ...
  5. Woopz !! Sorry about taking so long to reply but I've been a bit slack, lazy more to the point, I haven't done a thing about it, No one in the family seems to know where she got it. Most likely someth...
  6. should read one and a half ins long
  7. The engine and carriages are each only 1/12 inches long
  8. glad you all love it >:-)
  9. I've seen similar style clamps that were used in the construction of clinker built dinghy's to hold the planks in place whilst being nailed off.
  10. Thanks for that. But these most likely came from my parents old place so I got no idea where they came from or when they were made
  11. I thought mine was plaster but after finding it it is some sort of glazed ceramic, it has a hole about 1/2 in" in diameter in the base, but it is imposable to see inside it,it has a few yrs worth of d...
  12. oh yea I placed the ruler there so as to get an idea how big it is. hard job finding a rule with inches on it these days here in aussie
  13. yea at first glance it might well be with the handle and the slots in the top where the station finder is
  14. It looks like a plaster type figure made as you say in the 40'0r 50's and given away as prizes at a show or fair. I have one here somewhere I got in the 50's. I'll find it and post a pic of it later.
  15. thanks for that. it may have been one just for the local market, 2 layers of chockys in those lil brown paper cups ??
  16. Thanks for that info, they most likely came from the mines here on the west coast of Tasmania, who got them I don't know. I actually worked in the area in the late 1070's but my "souvenirs" got lost y...
  17. thanks far that.
  18. whoops!! actually its stuck somewhere where the sun don't shine.
  19. that's what I thought, chamber pots a good idea, I'll need to find one might have a plastic (yuk) one here somewhere. I've got some old square desk legs here somewhere, something to do keep me out of ...
  20. never thought of that I'd better go and get some >:-)
  21. No worries there Bruce, I'm one of those people that likes things left as they are, probably because I'm too mean to part with any money to fix or alter things. I've got a couple of quartz clocks here...
  22. It is a spitfire I saw the plans and moulds when it was given to my son they had been modified slightly to allow it to fly properly. something about shrinking it in size made it harder to operate.
  23. Thanks for that, it does sound nice when I tap the chimers, maybe one day I'll find someone to fix it, but for now I'm afraid it goes back to being a dust collector.
  24. Thanks for that bit of information. I didn't think it was that old.
  25. yea marked on the bottom "made in Taiwan"
  26. your probably right there packrat-place, I was only working on the assumption that it was from when my parents were married in the late 1940's, or later.
  27. not sure where it came from but I'm in Australia it could have been local or imported, a lot of the glass ware was won as trophy's by my father playing cribbage he died in the late 1970's so it would ...
  28. the bands are raised but 3 of them of them are missing the base seems to be some sort of pine (not sure)
  29. Thanks for that Bernadette it still has the bobbin and bobbin case. (I checked) but its like a lot of other things here now sits around gathering dust through lack of movement (I include myself in tha...
  30. Thanks for that I never knew what inspired them
  31. Thanks for that much appreciated
  32. Thanks for the info Bernadette, it's in a cupboard under the stairs now, one day I'll hopefully get around to doing something with it. I've had it for over 30 yrs. My mother had an old treadle machine...
  33. Thanks for that Dave, much appreciated.
  34. There was another picture that came with these smaller but a pic or a print I don't know. top part of a woman feeding a horses head. it was meant to come to me but my sister carried on no end about it...
  35. glad you like them chinablue, they've been put away for the last 10 yrs but out on display now. wow 31 & 32 sounds old
