Matching pair of oil lamps, circa 1880s, each avbout 17 tall, made of what looks like a white metal with a light brass plating. Metal is ornately decorated with a punched design. Each lamp has 3 sides which are a piece of heavy bevelled glass. Lamps are in need of restoration. On one lamp, the bottom piece is detached and the hinged door is partially detached. On the other lamp, the hinged door is completely detached, and one of the little pieces of metal which forms a frame around the front glass piece needs to be re-soldered. Lamps are in complete, but challenged condition. They require soldering and TLC to be restored. They are still, though, very nice and unusual with a great floral punched tin design unlike anything I've ever seen before. They have been stored for about 15 yrs in hopes that I'd find a use for them. I didn't, so here they are! Don't miss these. They are being sold as is. It is a final sale and they are priced accordingly. If perfect, these could run in the several hundred dollar range.

These lamps came out of my friend's father's estate. They look to be from the 1920s or 30s, and though they do need some work, with a little effort, I feel certain they can be restored to their original grandeur. The lamps stand about 17 high, though proper shades will add to that height. They are designed as figural plants, each having a black and tan marble base which appears to be actual marble and not man-made. Attached to the marble bases are signed bronze sculptures. The styling is exquisite and classic with lily pad like shapes at the base with a leafy post. From that, porcelain flowers are attached at various points. The bottoms of the metal is signed on each lamp either H HAYDON or N HAYDON . I know nothing about this artist and would welcome any information offered. Unfortunately, the years have taken their toll on these lovely decorative pieces. On one lamp, at least one of the porcelain flowers has come off, leaving four. Of the four, one has some bad chipping, and the other three have minor chipping. The other lamp has only 3 flowers, one missing a petal and the others with minor nicks. The interesting thing is that the flowers are all different from one another, giving it a very exotic look. Despite the shortcomings of the set, the lamps are incredible. They are pretty soiled, so a thorough cleaning is in order, and I'd also recommend rewiring to avoid a potential hazard. I'll leave that to the lucky successful bidder. As for the flowers, a professional restoration could replace the missing ones and touch up the ones that are still present. I'd actually recommend cleaning them up and leaving them as the are. They are very stylish and the fact that all the flowers are not still intact doesn't ruin the look in my opinion. A decorator's dream, these lamps, once brightened up, would be perfect in the most formal or casual of decors!

Right from my keeper collection after over a decade. This a bizarre little bronze ashtray that is a figural head with an open mouth for ashes. It measures a petite 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 wide, including its ears, and it possesses a rich, deep patina that I would bet is original. It's got the heavy solid feel to it, expected in bronze, and the dark patina is rich and desired. The details are excellent from its furrowed brow andpiercing eyes to his raised horns and nose. His mouth is rather large for putting out butts, and he is unmarked. I'm not sure exactly what he represents, whether he is a devil or demon, or some sort of diety, god, or mythological creature. I'd love to hear your opinions...I don't think this represents any sort of negativity, though...if I thought it did, I'd have never have been drawn to it. In original and excellent condition, this special piece is free of damage or repair. It's fun, whimsical, and a little bizarre...you will not be disappointed.

Tin - Quaker Oats 1983 - very nice round tin with various Quaker packaging designs over the years - measures 7 inch diameter x 4 ½ tall

This silver plated demitasse spoon has the letter S logo on the front and is marked on the back: Reed & Barton / Hotel Statler. Located at 401 7th Avenue in Manhattan, across the street from Pennsylvania Station and Madison Square Garden, the hotel was acquired by the Hotels Statler Company in 1949 and renamed the New York Statler Hotel. Following the sale of all 17 Statler hotels to Conrad Hilton in 1954, the hotel became The Statler Hilton. It operated under this name until the early 1980s, when Hilton sold the hotel and it again became The New York Statler for a brief period, before joining the now-defunct Penta chain in 1984, becoming The New York Penta. Finally, in 1992, it reverted to the Hotel Pennsylvania. The Reed & Barton story began in 1824, when Isaac Babbitt created a new metal alloy, Britannia metal, in his Taunton, Massachusetts pewter shop. Babbitt joined forces with craftsmen Henry G. Reed and Charles E. Barton to produce this innovative, higher quality pewter ware. When Babbitt encountered financial difficulties, Reed & Barton offered to take control and began manufacturing products under their own names. The fledgling company's goods reflected uncompromising standards of excellence, starting with its initial silverplate products and extending to the exquisite sterling silver creations that resulted from the silver discoveries of the late 1800s. The company has remained privately owned by the family of Henry Reed. In very good condition the spoon measures 4 3/8 inches long with a bowl that is 1 3/8 inches by 7/8 inch. I have 8 of these spoons in stock, price quoted is for each one ordered. An addition to any Hotel or Demitasse Spoon Collection. SH & Ins. will be quoted after orders placed.

This silver plated 2 piece serving set, Casserole Spoon with egg shaped bowl and Cold Meat Fork in the Mary Lee aka Croydon Pattern #1932 by Oneida is marked: Wm.A Rogers A1 Plus / Oneida LTD. The Oneida Community was founded by John Humphrey Noyes in upstate New York in 1848. In 1935 the company's name was changed to Oneida Ltd.

Technological breakthroughs in the late 1960s allowed Oneida to introduce the first ornate stainless flatware that had a decorative pierced pattern similar to sterling and silver plate. With these more attractive and formal patterns, stainless flatware gained a place in the silver departments of fine department stores. Because stainless was easier to care for and was far less expensive than sterling and silver plate, this new flatware sold briskly, sparking a recovery that led Oneida into a new era of growth. Oneida Ltd. is the world's largest stainless steel and silver-plated flatware maker, serving both the consumer and food service markets. Its operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Italy manufacture and market sterling, silver-plated, and stainless flatware, as well as china dinnerware and hollowware (coffee sets and trays).
