FS: Small random antique items! - WRXtranceformed - 06-25-2006 Shamelessly cross-posted from my post on NASIOC!: My father is an oriental rug and antique dealer in Chantilly, VA, and gave me a bunch of small antiques when I was younger to sell for fun. I've had these forever just collecting dust in my room so I thought I'd try you guys to see if you'd be interested. These would make great gifts or nice accessories to the formal areas in your home! I might eventually hit up Ebay, but I don't really want to go through the hassle for such small, inexpensive items. Anyway, here is the stuff! The following descriptions are from my father who makes a living selling things like these from $10 to up to 5 figures. If you have any really specific questions about these, I'm not going to be much help, but I can see what I can dig up from him. And as usual, I have to put in the disclaimer about how much my digital camera sucks! =p Circa 1950 Pressed Composite box with a horse and jockey imprint This thing is my favorite for sure! It's a circa 1900 English copper & brass pipe rack with a devil insignia + registry number. It holds 4 pipes and the little devil face on it looks badass :devil: circa 1900 hammerbrass arts & crafts - patinated brass leaf shaped card tray A very beautiful piece. It's a Shawnee Pottery bud vase of a dancing girl. I don't have any info on the year of manufacture for this one. Circa 1900 silver overlaid glass bud vase Circa 1890 English ivory glazed ceramic classic figurine of a reclining nude Another cool piece of local history. Circa 1940s Great siloutte reverse painted mirror advertisement for Amberger & Wohlfarth in Washington DC. It has a working (I think) thermometer and a fold down paper calendar with the last page showing August 1941! None of this stuff from what I understand is more than $100, with most in the $50 range. Would make some nice gifts for your wife / husband / significant other for their home! In the true spirit of antique bargaining, I won't put an exact price on any of the items. Send me a reasonable offer for this stuff! I'd just like to free up some valuable real estate under my bed :lol: - Dave - 06-26-2006 you sell the vase yet? - WRXtranceformed - 06-27-2006 Nope I still have it. It's hard to tell from the picture, but it is pretty small. Like maybe 6-8 inches tall.
