25 grapes in this cluster wired to a natural wood (presumably grape vine) stem. Diameters between 1" and 1 3/8". Length from tip of wood stem to end of top grape is 10"
Carving of a flower - possibly an edelweiss. Also carved into the stick is "Montenvert Mer De Glace". My best guess is that someone bought this walking stick as they prepared to hike the glacier. The iron spiked tip definitely looks to be designed for wintry, icy conditions and it's a sturdy cane. It's a very nice carving, but we had a hard time capturing the details of it in the photo especially the slanted font text just below the flower.
1" diameter at the widest point
approx. 37" tall
The Montenvert Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice) is a glacier located on the northern slopes of the Mont Blanc massif, in the Alps. At 7 kilometres long and 200 metres deep, it is the longest glacier in France. It is in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. It was the site of the 1924 Winter Olympics, the first Winter Olympics.
This cane has been in our collection for over 30 years.
The top decorative sphere is 1 3/8" diameter. There is a visible grain.
Don't know if this is celluloid or carved vegetable ivory.
The vintage amber plastic handle has a slight taper. Approx. 3/4" diameter
The length of the handle is approx. 6" long.
Overall length is 31". The umbrella does not open. It looks like
the latch mechanism may be bent.
As you can see, the light through the amber plastic gives a warm stained glass feeling. The handle has a nice substantial feel to it.
While we hope the buyer wants the whole umbrella, - in the event that the highest bidder only wants the handle, I can cut it. (that would save on shipping)
Est. shipping weight is 4 lbs.
This cane / walking stick has the original bark, which is still tight today 114 years later. On the side is painted in black: "New Mexico 1886".The tip is missing. I wonder if it might have been a souvenir of someone's trip to New Mexico, or possibly from a visit to a county fair. Not pictured, but there are two natural indentatitions from the time it was created.
3/4" diameter at the widest point -Has a nice strudy feel
34 1/2" long
I found two events in my google search for 1886 New Mexico:
Apache chief Geronimo surrendered in 1886.
There was a gunfight between outlaw cattlemen and ranchers along the La Plata
river near Fruitland in northwest NM, Monday, November 8, 1886.
This cane has been in our collection for over 30 years.

The glass on the one showing the graphs is intact, the other is missing. You
can't tell from the photos, but the paper is more of a manilla color. The paper
on each has minor staining and ripples.

We bought this bell when we lived in Groton CT, near the sub base in the 1970s. It reportedly came off a diesel sub, although I can't verify that. It is iron, with a very nice clear tone. The bell is 8" in diameter and it is approx. 5 1/4" deep. The following information is imprinted on the top (2nd picture):
"Bendix Aviation Corp. BKLYN NY"
"OR NO CAL5673-S ALT Date INSP"
"115 V.A.C. 60 CYC 346 Amps - Type B-4 Contr"

There is a crack in the plastic over the "IG" in LIGHT, though you
can't see it in the pictures. The lit color is not correct. That's just the
best I could get with my digital camera.

Help! Shirley Temple - Type doll 1950's In as found condition.
This frame is made from 1/2" wide pine boards. It is 28" long, 15 1/2" wide, and 13 3/4" high. The back was cracked a long time ago, and was repaired with the 2 iron bars you see pictured. I would assume the 2 small pieces of wood that are visible at the back of this were the arms that held the handles. If this is the case, someone cut it a long while ago, because where it was cut has darkened with age. Also as you will note, there is no bottom.
This must have been a very sweet sled in its day. Even if left as is, it would make a great display for dolls or other small friends.
Estimated s&h weight - 8lbs.
Estimated shipping weight - 5 lbs.
This is a beautiful 2 sided relief carving. It's viewable from both sides, although there is less detail on the carved back side. As you can see there are pieces missing off the top and a few spaces in the middle as well. There are also 3 or 4 cracks that should be relatively easy to reglue. The carving on the flowers is a beautiful example of low relief carving and incorporates the feeling of real movement in the petals.
Dimensions: 18" high by 36" wide. A nice addition to any wall.
I have saved this for a long time, hoping I'd find time to do some minor restoration
and then display it. It looks so nice, even incomplete. But now I'm pretty sure
I won't find that time. There is a slight reveal inside the frame that could
accept a piece of glass (or plexi) on either side if you wanted to display it
with both sides showing.
Estimated shipping weight 10lbs.
We have owned this quilt for over 20 years, but have never attempted the project of cleaning and repairing it. There are some pink stains in a few of the squares and it's in desperate need of cleaning. Some repatching is also necessary, since some of the patches (mostly on the back side) are worn and hanging loose. Also, some of the fabrics didn't hold up to the years, and may also need patching in.
Dimensions: Approximately 65" by 75"
Estimated shipping weight 6 lbs.

Patent dates ranging from 1/2/34 to 9/8/36 ...other patents pending (of course it could have been manufactured more recently than 1936.
It takes dimes. The photo that shows "H. Greenwald Co. Bklyn NY. Patent
Pend" is unfortunately not a clear picture ... The patent dates are above
it. The mech is also marked "<ABT>MFG CO" & "B-60"
To the best of my limited knowledge of how this works, every part moves. But
it does need cleaning up.
