I was injured in a roll-over car accident in January and I've been unable to work ever since. I don't want to sell this but, sadly, I need the money. Can anyone tell me an approximate value of this orange juice reamer, please. I have other old cups, too.
This desk is pretty heavy. The main center drawer hesitates when you open it. It has a lot of carving details. The lid lifts up to reveal a writing space, more drawers, inkwell and has a smaller shelf that can be pulled out for a writing surface. We are interested in any and all information that can be provided about this desk. Thanks so much!
There does not appear to be a makers mark on the back of these chambersticks, however there are 3 lines at the end of the handles (on both) that do not follow the pattern of the candlesticks. There is a circle in the middle of the drip pan and it has 3 arches extending from it. All three arches have a Fleur de lis centered in it and something seems to extend from the bottom of the symbol. In between teh arches are what appear to be possibly roman numerals...1 M maybe, an X, 2 smaller V's and I cannot tell what the other is though it appears to be another M but it would be upside down of the others. Turning it the same way as the others it appears to be maybe an intwined F and R but that is really a guess. The pan and handle is 1 piece. They are not sodered together and appear to be made in a mold. The scalloped edge is uneven and the teeth around the edge are not the same size. Close...but the edge appears to be done by hand. I am at a loss. I can not find these any where on line and lack the knowledge of antique terminology to really begin to know what to even seach on these.
I haven't done anything to try to clean this up to see what type of metal it is. The whole stencil on the side is "Gibson Drug Co., Wholesale Druggery, Rochester, NY" It's in pretty good shape considering it's apparent age. I can't find any refrence to it on line.
