This is called by some a lobster or fruit knife which I'm sure it could have been used for in addition to cutting the quill or "pen" of a feather.  On one blade is "Coin" so perhaps it is coin silver.  It's a neat knife anyways!

Vintage fishing creel--$25

Picture
This is a nice older fishing creel.  I stand corrected by a customer in that the string holding the top to the bottom is how fishing creels of this type were made.  That's a ruler on the top to measure fish.

Antique copper "witch's hat" candle snuffer--$10

Nice piece and it does a better job than if you blow out tapered candles.  If you get wax inside it, just heat it up over a flame and wipe out with a paper towel, or you can put it in your freezer and the wax will separate away from the metal.

Antique oil painting--$20 Measures 21"Long by 12" high Now red-dotted making it $10

Picture
A well executed still life painting on some kind of cardboard.  The shape tells me that it was the back of something else and was not framed in glass.  it would be beautiful if it were framed!

Two Victorian lady silverplate pourers--$18 each Now red-dotted (only $9 each!)

Picture
I am only guessing at the use of these.  You could pour liquid into the top and when you lift the lady by the dress, the top tips forward to pour. You could even use the "goblet" part of the dress as that is hollow.  They are not identical.  Both have different designs and features.
They stand 8.5 inches tall.

Picture
Still in good condition.

This is a piece that has something to do with horses--$25 Now half price ($12.50)

Picture
It is made from wood, is definitely older. one of the straps is the original leather, the other has been changed.  When held u,p it looks like it would go around the neck of the horse, perhaps to keep him from biting as he wouldn't be able to lower his head with it on., sort of like a bucket that is used on dogs.  I thought someone might actually use it for its real purpose or come up with a unique use for it--hang it from a beam and use it as a dried flower hangar?
