This china set has a distinct cat tail flower design on it with gold around the rim of the dishes.  There are 8 big bowls, 9 cups, 12 big plates, 12 bowles, 31 small plates, gravy bowl, gravy boat, platter plate, serving bowl, 7 medium plates, creamer, and a sugar bowl.

This watch has a working second hand and the minute and hour hands are missing. The clear case over the works is a bit scarred up, but the gold casing is in great shape and the filigree is unmarked or scarred. The watch does wind up properly as well.

I don't have a picture of the mimeograph, at present.  The mimeograph is in deccent shape, mainly just dirty, but I have put off cleaning it, until I can get some idea of it's value, as it may be a job for a professional. 

The "paper copy" receiving tray is made of finished wood, with an emblem either painted or stuck in the center.  The supports it rests on are also of the same wood and finish.  There is a 1.5 to 2 inch dial with indicators which you manually rotate to indicate the number of copies you wish to make.  When the choosen number of copies is reached, a small spring loaded dinger rings a bell, to indicate you are finished.

It appears that copies are made by manually rotating the handle (also made of wood) on the end of the rotating drum back and forth.  Other than that, I don't have a very good idea of how it is actually operated.

I found a bill of sale for a negro boy dated 1857. It is very readable. Just wondering if this was of any value.

Thanks
