I found this Gravy boat with under tray at a yard sale. I have not been able to find one like it on the internet. I thought you could help me with what i have and its worth. You can also contact me at [email protected]. the bottom of the tray says Marquise, 1847 Rogers Bros, EPNS, 009141, IS
Condition is good they are hand painted and numbered young george and martha washington figurines. The only condition problem is george is missing fingers on the left hand.
The desk is solid Oak and has two partial shelves on top with hand carved spindles. The mirror is original. It had hand made oak decorations. The inside has pidgeon holes and below has two shelves.
I thought this was a percolator coffeepot. It had a basket for the water to percolate through. The spout appears to be more like a teapot spout. It does have a glass top to check to see the brewing coffee. It can hold 6 cups of water to brew. The markings on the bottom are the trademark WEAR-EVER and then a circle with T.A.C.U.Co. going one way in the circle and Aluminum the other way with 4 stars in the circle. The numbers are slighlty worn but the first number is either an 8 or 9 and then 72, so either No. 872 or 972.(Leaning more towards 972) After looking around could it possibly be a chocolate pot and someone just put the coffee basket in it? I have added pictures Thanks
