This tin container is the No. 8 Universal bread maker, made by Landers, Frary & Clark of New Britain, CT. It won a gold medal at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. There are instructions for making the bread embossed on the top and it was meant to hold dough for making eight loaves at a time, so it is quite large. It was well taken care of and is in excellent shape.
Unfortunately, I do not have a picture to submit at this time.
I am interested in finding out how much it may be worth.
This is a fox scarf. I don't know if you offer appraisals on these type of items. I don't actively buy, sell, or wear any type of furs. I have this because it has been passed down the family line. It belonged to my great grandmother, She passed away when i was like 2 years old in like 1987-1988. She was like 80 something years old when she passed so it has to be like very old by now. I would like to keep in my family and pass it along to my daughter when she gets older. I would just like to know if there is any value in it. I just have it stored. Discription of it: It has 4 foxes together it's a scarf it has the original clips to clip it around the shoulders. It doesn't have a lable or company name it only has my great grandmas initials. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rachel Garcia.
It is believed to be from a monastery that was burned down during the communist occupation of Mongolia. It has front and back wooden covers connected with a leather spine that still has some of the animals hair on it. There are 91 or so pages which all appear to be hand painted and contain about 11 painted images. Book is held closed with a cord that has a Ching period Chinese coin on the end.
