I recently acquired this collection from my Mothers home after she died. They were given to her approximately 40 years ago . She always referred to this collection as depression glass, however, I cannot find the pattern or markings to confirm this. the pattern is a stylized flower a rope of dots then a connecting Art Deco-like dot (difficult to describe). There are dessert glasses, aperatif or sherry glasses, wine and water glasses and 5plates. They are bright green and in perfect condition. My best guess is that they are at least 60 years old. Thank you for any help you can give me in identifying the pattern and age, and possible value.
I used this desk as a child, although I don't think it was actually intended as a "child's desk" per se---people were just smaller in the past. I bump my knees on it now.
My parents purchased it in Yorkshire England in the 1970s. I don't know anything about, but it's in nice shape except for one of the wheels on the feet fell off during a move. I haven't been able to find an appropriate fastener to reattach it, so I currently have it on with a modern screw which can easily be removed.
Very nice carving on the legs and around the opening where you would put your chair.
Pardon the cat in the picture--every time I get the camera to take a picture of this piece, he hops up
4' tall wall clock, dark wood. has 2 weights, pendulum, carved horse on top, and decorative wooden bits.
Wooden bits have fallen off a lot with humidity and dry periods (they did not like having central A/C in the house) and a couple have gotten nibbled by the dog--a good restorer could fix them. I could fix them if I had the time to do the wood working right now. The clock chimes. Needs an escapment, I believe--it won't stay running for any length of time. My parents purchased this clock in the 1970s in Yorkshire England and when my father gave it to me, he said it needed some work to make it run reliably. It's a really beautiful piece.
3 tier card catalogue. Top section is solid wood and has matching pull out shelves to write notes on.
Bottom 2 tiers are wood with metal and plastic drawers with wood fronts.
I obtained it from a medical library that was closing down and moving, as the medical school had been purchased by a larger university. The librarians didn't know much about it, but knew the top section at least was old--early 20th century they thought. It's in realy nice shape. Most of the card guides are still in place and all the handles are there. Wood is in very nice shape.
