This etched bayonet or short sword is in very nice condition, there is no rust or pitting though some discoloration does appear on the steel. It has a bone or stag handle adorned with three (3) brass acorns and what appears to be hooves for the hilt? Also what looks like a shell just ahead of the hilt, all made of brass. Various etchings adorn all sides of the blade, florals, crossed canons, rifles and crossed swords are all plainly visible in the etchings. The scabbard shows alot more age and wear. The stitching has deteriorated and the leather is hard but still maintains the shape nicely. The brass top and bottom have dents and dings. This weapon appears to be of quality steel but is unsharpened.

This Cikovsky piece was presented to me as a gift from a friend who acquired it from an auction around the late sixties or early seventies. The documentaion with the painting does not provide a title. The piece is still in the frame it was given to me in. The back of the frame has a stamp indicating it was made in Mexico.

WE HAVE THE KEY THAT OPENS AND LOCKS THE PIE SAFE , AN ELDERLY FRIEND THAT OWNED IT LIVED TO BE 96 , SHE HAD THIS CABINET WHEN SHE MARRIED AT 14

This ship is hand carved from wood with real canvas sails with emblems painted on sails. 

Old strings were used as ropes to sails.  Has anchor carved in side with holes for cannons .

This painting is from my boyfriend of 30 years who recently passed. He bought this when we sold our business. I have been researching it and it appears on the back to be the signature of John Elwyn, `1970. A famous welsh painter. I have looked at his works and he did not do this kind of work so I am leaning in the direction that he once owned it.
