- Bottle & Jug.

DOOR KNOBS - PUBLIC SCHOOL, CITY OF NEW YORK C.1899
Over 100 years old. We have a small quantity of the original, heavy brass door knobs that were used in New York City schools over a century ago. These are NOT reproductions.
We found them many years ago in the dusty basement of a salvage yard in Manhattan. We can have them professionally polished and sealed against tarnish for an additional charge.
It's fascinating...

Antique Oak Box – Maybe for Glass Negatives.
This is a sturdy little solid oak box with its original solid brass handle. Fine, tight dovetailing. Looks to be Circa 1890-1900. Size: 9 1/2" wide x 8 1/4" deep x 10 1/2" high to top of handle.
We’re not positive what it was for. One theory based on the very thin slots is that it held glass photography plates or magic lantern slides. There are old handwritten numbers...

ANTIQUE RAILROAD CAR MIRRORS - PAIR - C.1900.
Gorgeous wood mirrors that were originally built in to a very fine railroad car, most likely a private car. The wood is solid walnut and burl veneer. There is gold edging on the trim. Superb craftsmanship. The mirror glass is old and worn. It could certainly be replaced, but the wear adds to the pieces in our opinion.
Size: 37" tall x 18 1/8" wide x 1 1/4" deep. ...

ANTIQUE BRASS THERMOS - ICY-HOT C.1909.
This remarkable piece is a very early thermos-type bottle made by the Icy-Hot company of Cincinnati. 15" tall.
The exterior is an attractive, beautifully finished ribbed brass. The liner looks like thermos-style glass and is intact. (We have not attempted to fill the thermos and would not advise using it). The brass is in excellent shape and shows suprisingly modest wear from what...
