Bought this from e-bay on a lark. But I can't find anything like it searching the Internet. Any help identifying this and maybe worth?
It is bronze in color, kind of heavy. The top glass has a small crack. I think the handles and the knob are not original as the screws do not look "vintage". Not sure what the original handles and knob would look like.
I can make out on the bottom: Patent 1912, Made by Landers Frary & Clark, New Britain, Conn. No. E8146.
I found this and would like some information on it. I found on the bottom that it reads "Reed & Barton 3768S". I did some research online to find out what it was. It seems that it may be a chocolate pot, coffee/tea pot. It also says that it is pewter. I am just curious what it may be worth? I have my kitchen decorated with coffee decor and thought this would be a nice conversation piece. I will probably display it there. So any info anyone can give me would be great. Thanks!
The pocket watch is working and holds time. I have checked it over a week and it seems to stay accurate as long as it is kept wound. The watch is all gold inside and out, even the face plate is gold, and the numbers are italicized as well as the name. There is a bust shot of an elk with possibly a fern around its neck. There is not any sign of tarnishing, discoloration, chips, or even dings, It appears as to have never of been used and was always packed away. There is a small amount of hair line scratches inside the case which I found using a magnifying glass, but other than that, it is perfect. The glass over the face could be replaced as it seems a little cloudy. This may be fixed by a good polishing, I don't know, or maybe it should be left alone to show its age. There are three covers to the watch, the front cover, the back cover, and a cover over the movement.
I have a set of 4 high barstools (?) stamped S. BENT & BROS INC 1867. I would love to have some info including value for these. The are brace with rods and a threaded rod seems to set the tension.
