Metalware


What's New in the Collector's Showcase of Metalware?
The Most Recent Additions to This Category are First!
Vintage brass wall plate with raised pattern English scene.  The back is stamped Made in England and offers a hanger to display this decorative.  This plate measures about 9.75 inches in diameter.  There is some discoloration and oxidation.  Average condition.

 This unusual pewter plate by Wilton Pewter Company of Mount Joy, P.A., measures 9 inches in diameter and features a crest design in the center.  The wording around the crest is in Latin, and we have tried our best to interpret its meaning.  


From what we can gather, this would appear to be a commemorative plate made to honor St. Francis de Sales, who was known as the Gentleman Saint, for his persuasive, yet gentle preaching.  Born in 1567 in Genoa, Italy, St. Francis had written an Introduction to the Devout Life, and a priestly brotherhood bears his name, the Society of Salesians.


Collegium may refer to the College of Cardinals (the Roman Catholic group of Cardinals appointed by the Pope who as a group have the highest standing in the Church other than the Pope), or another religious body/organization for whom the plate was made.


Plate is in overall very good condition with some wear to the metal, but no dents or dings.  The backside has the Wilton name, Mount Joy, PA USA with the RWP within a circle logo and a Handcrafted In The USA sticker attached.  We are offering a vintage metal bowl decorated with alternating floral design, gold accents, and Victorian courting scenes.  It measures 10 inches in diameter and stands 1 3/4 inches tall.  The back of the tray is marked with the Daher logo, Daher Decorated Ware 1971 - Designed by Daher Long Island – NY 11101 Made in England Reg. Des. 951942.   The tray has some surface scratches and some signs of wear.  Still pretty and useful nonetheless.  She’s petite, measuring 2 1/2 inches tall x 1 inch wide, but this adorable Holly Hobbie cast iron figurine is that famous blue girl with the large bonnet that Denise Holly Hobbie created for American Greetings during the late 60’s/70’s time frame.

  

This Holly sits in a rocking chair (which does rock) with a book in her lap.  She has a few areas of scuffing and missing paint, but that seems to add to her charming old-fashioned appearance.  Over the years, Holly has been portrayed on a variety of plates, glassware, as well as dolls but we have not seen any other cast iron figurines.

  

The back of the rocker has raised lettering which states: American Greetings, Cleveland, USA & year date of 1978 in Roman Numerals.    Also, Vanity Fair Ind. Inc, Made in Hong Kong.

MUST BE USEFUL FOR SOMETHING?  This Griswold 6 inch solid oil damper, with its 9 1/2 inch long steel spindle, is a fine cast iron piece of memorabilia from the good old days.  The four patent #’s printed on the reversible damper reference the year dates of 1937-1939.  The Erie, Pennsylvania Company began business in 1867 and was sold to Wagner, their main competitor, in 1957.


This is not being sold as a functioning damper, but rather as a terrific collectible cast iron memento of a bygone era.  There is some wear and scuffing, in keeping with its 70+ years, but over-all, this Griswold is in wonderful display condition.  Vintage nutcrackers in the shape of a woman’s legs and torso - the nuts are cracked in the lower torso(!). Item measures 11.5 cm long and 3.1 cm wide when closed (4.1/2 inches by 1.1/4 inches). It needs a good buffing up - and there is a hole in the side of one thigh (apparently the last owner had it mounted sideways as a door knocker).  Otherwise very good condition.

This little boy baseball catcher is a charming example of Sexton cast metal wall art created in the 1970’s by the Sexton company.  Measuring 7 1/2 inches tall and  6 1/2 inches across at the widest point, the boy catcher is squatting behind home plate, glove in hand, waiting for the next pitch.


The plaque is marked on the backside with the Sexton name and double SS in a rectangle (could be an artist or decorator’s initials).  The cast aluminum plaque has a wall hanger in place on the backside and is in very good vintage condition, showing very little wear.   A pair of 1950s painted iron bookends depicting a tall ship.  A pair of 1940 Iron bookends depicting a tall ship.

Quirky pair of alabaster book ends, mounted with painted spelter dogs - terriers with upturned faces. Often with these bookends, the spelter ornament is screwed on, but these have always  been just glued, and possibly reglued a long time ago, as the old animal glue has turned a bit orange. One alabaster upright has been reglued at sometime.  They measure 15.5 cm high, 14 cm long and 12.5 cm wide (6.1/8 inches by 5.1/2 inches by 5 inches). Very good sound condition - not immaculate, but very original, and much of their period (early 20th century).  Lovely 19th century sugar castor, made in Britannia metal, which would have once been silver plated. Now with the plating worn off, the castor looks like pewter.  It has a pretty design of flowers swagged around the body. Maker is S.B. & M (Sturges, Bladdon & Middleton, Birmingham, England).  Ornamental item only as the lid just won’t come off. Would date around 1880s. Has a few little dents, but a quaint piece of shabby chic. Measures 15 cm high and 8.1 cm diameter (6 inches by 3.1/4 inches).  Hawaiian hand carved wooden Tiki statue, signed underneath Gus, Maui 95. Has original business card. In very good condition. Thank you for looking!  Purchased in Amsterdam Holland, Netherlands, about 20 yrs ago, silver plate, replica of a milk container or jug from a Polish estate, collector was reminded of her childhood when she saw this piece.  Wonderful detail and workmanship, no markings, about 5" tall and 2 3/8" diameter.  Could be used as a creamer or with the little matching ladel, a jam or jelly jar.

 Standing 7 inches tall, 3 1/2 inches across the top opening with a 3 inch diameter base, this matte finish pewter chalice was done as a commemorative for the United States, House of Representatives.

  

The raised seal of the United States is center front with the eagle insignia and thirteen stars above the eagle’s head.

  

The chalice is in fine vintage condition, and although the maker’s identification mark is mostly worn, we were able to positively identify the goblet as a Wilton Pewter piece.  U.S.A. in raised letters is clearly visible, however.  This is a special and unique artwork done on a 10 inches long by 7 3/4 inches wide piece of cast metal which is 1/2 inch thick and weighs over four pounds.  We are not sure exactly what the metal is.  It is definitely not iron or steel, and appears to be too heavy for spelter.  The patina of the sculpture gives it a pewter look.


 Six raised figures are depicted wearing helmets, metal vests, and pantaloons, carrying their lances.  We do not know whether this artist’s grouping of six Spanish men were actually based on real soldiers or explorers, and there is no identifying maker’s mark on this piece.

  

We do know that this metal art is well-crafted and designed and would be a terrific addition to an old historic Spanish collection.  On the backside there are holes for a wall mount, but we believe this piece to be too heavy for a wall mount – although a door mount would likely work. We are also including a hinged wooden stand for displaying this marvelous cast metal artwork.
