This Fish Knife and Fork set is made in EPNS and has bone handles. The Knife Blade is beautifully engraved. It needs polishing up as it has tarnished over the years.
As you can see in the first photo it's just a walking cane with a brass (I believe) screw in base with a rounded wooden screw in top. The center section has hand carved dragons with brass nails in their eyes with a mountain a the top of the main section. This is all hand painted as well. There are four sections to this. When you unscrew the top post or handle then pull it out and the shaft of the cue will then slide out from the middle of the main stick. Then unscrew the bottom brass point (toward the ground)and unscrew the top from the shaft. then screw the shaft onto the main stick and screhte brass bottom to the wood top. Finally screw the top back into the main stick and you have a very rare pool cue!
This plate/tray has "Ervin Lucas Bols, Anno-1575, Amsterdam, Holland on the back along with a signature Delft J.v.L..I acquired it from my aunt's estate when she passed in 1993. The front of the plate is a delft picture of a sail boat, and several windmills, house, etc. contained in the inset, with floral design work around the edge of the front. It appears to be some type of stoneware or ceramic pottery.
Please refer to the pictures posted. I would like to know if it has any worth other than sentimentality and would love some history on the artist.
