Full size bed with siderails, vanity with tri-folding mirror and chair (missing seat), four-drawer dresser with tilting mirror. All pulls, simple but beautiful details. I have sanded and painted the furniture.
This was part of the contents of my late grandmothers cedar chest of keepsakes and I don't remember them as a child but I have no need for them and they have never been used and most likely were never even removed from the box they are in. They even still have the tag on them that says GENUINE IVORY/handmade and etched!
I don't know a whole lot about it. Its been hard to find out any information.I know it's an automatic petrol cigar lighter with a mechanical snap up levered mechanism.Manufactured in the late20's to early 30's.The mechanism was first invented by an Austrian, but not patented in the us.Steele and Johnson of Waterbury Conn. copied this design.George Eldred patent date of Sept 17,1912 which you cant quite make out is on the thumb lever.In the base it has Steele & Johnson MFG.CO. Waterbury,Conn. ESSENJAY PRODUCTS New York Office, 280 Madison Ave.Other than that, that's all I could find out.It doesn't light ,but it does spark.
it has asian scenery painted on it with raised markings on it. I believe it to be hand painted based on the raised markings and the workmanship. It has a signature on it that is real small and hidden in the artwork that I can't quite make out.
