What a beautiful Weekend it was, with a Clear Sky, and in the 70's. It sure brought out both Sellers, and Buyers! :^D I found lots of Treasures, and wanted to post a few.
The Cigar Ashtray(because of the large size of the slots) has the WOW, and Crossed Axes of the Woodman Of the World, set between the 3 slots of the small round cast Brass Ashtray, it has a single 1/2" spike leg under each of the Cigar slots, on the 4 3/4"d x 3/4"h Ashtray, and is marked in the cast on the bottom of the bowl GLAUBER over CLEV'D over O. I couldn't find any information about this Ashtray, but it's probably from the early 1900's. Woodman Of the World, was/is a fraternal, Insurance Group.
The wood lined round Pewter Box is 3 1/2"d x 1 1/2"h when closed, it has a Celtic type Cross on the top with a 1/4" Glass Marble Cab. set in the center, it may have been sold at a Renaissance, or Celtic Faire.
When I saw the Brass Button/Plate, with "The Brunswick" all phonographs in one, of course I thought of, not Bowling, not Records, but Thomas, our CW "Brunswick"! :^D So along with, that I thought it was a Collectable, I thought it would be fun to Post here! The price was right, so I got it! It's 2"d and has a Woman looking under the cover lid of her new Phonograph, at the Player inside, on top, and the bottom reads MODEL over T, and NUMBER over 166085, and under that are 7 PAT. dates from SEPT. 18 1917, to DEC. 7 1920. The Plate would been on the front of the Phonograph, or inside next to the Player.
I found the REPRESENTATIVE Badge that has Grape Leaves and a Bunch of Grapes with RAISIN CITY under them, another gotta have it! I guess it was for a State Fair, or some other function but didn't care just liked it. I tried searching, and found a lot similar but no Raisin City! :^D This was probably from the late 1800's to early 1900's just judging by the lettering and type of badge, it may be Silver, not attracted to a magnet, but just cool looking the way it is!
I also went to an Estate Sale on Sunday March 17th 2019, and found some nice Pottery, and Glass, that I'll add to the Posts from the Flea Market, all in all a very good Weekend! :^D
Thanks for looking, all comments welcome, and any questions, or information on these Treasures is great! :^)
