This was my grandfathers cigar box. It has a silver exterior, ornate with cherubs and roses. Inscribed on the left front edge of the lid is "FE Department de Trust a" and on the right is my grandfather's name, followed by the date, "18-11-29 Madrid".
There are two tiny squares on the lid handle. The background detail seems high, as there are perhaps thousands of tiny dots, adding to the texture. Please let me know what other details I should provide.
I have a 6 piece Frontier Forge serving set. The handles are caramel colored with swirls of darker tones. The handles are3 1/2 inches long and the blades measure from 3 inches to 6 inches in length. This set is in a leather case with a beautiful purple velvet lining. Appears never to have been used. From doing research online I believe this is a Vintage Bakelite set from the 1930's-1950's circa. Individual pieces are selling online for between $25-$40 dollars but I have never come across a complete set with the original case. I would appreciate any info as to what these items are worth.
I have the entire bedroom set of this. The bed, Dresser with mirror that moves back and forth, and the little dry sink that is pictured. It has a Bee and face pattern on every piece, its a little creepy. I know nothing about it except it was my Great Great Grandmas so its around 100 years old and on the back on each piece it says Estey Manufacturing Co. that is from Michigan.
Also everything is original on it and I have the door and wash bowl for the dry sink but isnt in the picture.
Bleached walnut dining table and 6 chairs plus buffet from late 1800s purchased in Dryden Ontario approx 40 years ago by my mom. Would like assistance in identifying style and distinguishing marks. Items were marked with tape to identify them for temporary move into storage.
