This is a very heavy oak and iron swival office chair. It is patented and adjustable. I believe it was made in and around the 1920s. There is a number in the back side of it as you can see from the pictures, 856. There is also a tag on the bottom which reads as follows: P. Derby and Company; Gardner Chairs Mass; Earl Thompson Posture Seat; Patented Patents Pending
I would guess these dolls are at the very least 50 years old. Two of them are hinged at both the arms and legs. Very elaborate dresses with peticoats and ribbons and bows. Faces are painted.The other two are only hinged at the arms and a little taller but not by much maybe 3 inches tops. They also are dressed with dresses that have lace and ribbon. Thier faces are also painted and have porcelain bonnets. The last one is all porcelain. painted on old maybe 40's type swimsuit????? Maybe cake topper or something. The girl is posed sort of half sitting/standung with one arm bent on head and the other bent and holding upper chest area.
This is a pair of brass torchier floor lamps that we got from our uncle in San Francisco several years ago but I don't know their history. The base seems to be cast iron and the rest of the lamp is brass except for the 4 rods that hold the amber glass shades in place, which seem to be a kind of pot metal.
