A very heavy, impressive looking piece with great Victorian designs and a large ring for knocking against the base to let your friends know there is someone at the door. We've gently steel wooled the finish to remove just a little of the dirt, but left the age patina alone. We also replaced the pin that holds the hammer or ring in place because the original was almost rusted away and we did not want your knocker to fall off the first time someone tried to use it. Not much chance that will happen for a few decades at the least	Your Price: $79.00

Click for more detail... CK2	Santa Claus - Hand painted Decoration As promised, here is another fine example of the work of C. Keck. Yes, I know Santa figurines are available everywhere. Most are mass-produced and sell for almost nothing. Others really are one of a kind, well made pieces, but few compare to the skill displayed in this wonderful Santa figure. This nine inch tall Santa Clause figurine began as green ware, which after being cleaned is then placed into a kiln and heated to incredibly high temperatures. Finally the piece is beautifully hand painted in details that insure no two pieces are ever exactly alike. As you can see, the end result of this painstaking work is the lovely Santa seen here, which has been done by an artist who also happens to be our very good friend C. Keck. As this figure clearly shows, Ms. Keck is highly skilled in the art of fine detail. It is as though her touch has given this figure it's own individual personality. If I had a month to paint just one piece, I could not even come close to matching the skill of this artist. This Christmas, add this truly special Santa to your collection of holiday decorations.

SxS Double Barrel Hammer Shotgun - pre 1898

Item #	Description	Price
Click for more detail... wcscott12	Antique W & C Scott and Son 12 ga. SxS Hammer Shotgun WE ASK YOU TO PLEASE NOTE: WE CAN NOT ACCEPT PAYMENTS THROUGH PAYPAL FOR ANY OF OUR ANTIQUE FIREARMS. PLEASE PAY BY CHECK OR MONEY ORDER ONLY. THANK YOU. JM Starting as far back as the early 1840’s and continuing all the way up and through the turn of the century, if a person wanted to buy a top of the line side by side hammer shotgun, they almost always wanted a gun that had been built, tested and proofed in the town of Birmingham England. In those days Birmingham was home to some of the best known, most innovative gun makers in all the world, and right up there with the very best were William and Charles Scott. W & C Scott opened there shop in the year 1840 and in no time at all, had earned a reputation for making among the finest double barrel shotguns in the world. In the early 1850’s, William’s son joined the company and the word son was added to the company name. From then all the way up to 1898, when W & C Scott and Son joined P Webley and Son,to form Webley and Scott, and on for decades to come, a shotgun that carried the Scott name, was without a doubt a gun prized and praised by some fortunate gun owner. Picker’s Treasures is extremely proud to offer to our customers this fine example of the legendary pre-1898 double barrel shotguns made in Birmingham England by W & C Scott and Son. This old 12 gauge hammer gun is proof positive that the Scott's were indeed among Birmingham’s finest gun makers. Even after more than one hundred years, the action and lockup on this old shotgun remains solid, tight and true. Then there’s the engraving and that engraving, my friends, is true artwork. The fine line detailing is still incredibly clear and sharp. Look closely at this fine workmanship. You'll rarely, if ever, see better work than this. Yes there are a few bumps and bruises, but less than one might expect to find on such an old time hammer gun as this. A small chip in the toe of the butt stock…. A littler bit of black powder pitting in the barrels….. I bet we've all seen worse than this in guns that were made less than one year ago, so any shotgun that has lasted more than one hundred and ten years can be excused having a bruise or two, right? <smile> If you know antique shotguns, you know this is one of the really nice ones and wouldn’t such a fine antique make a truly wonderful gift for someone special? Please note: This is a true antique, pre 1898 black powder firearm and as such is considered a collectible antique under Federal Law. Please be aware that some states have differing laws pertaining to old firearms. You are responsible to know the laws of your state of residence before purchasing this or any other antique weapon. Thank you.	Your Price: $895.00

A Must See Shotgun - Exceptional Hand Carved Stock

Item #	Description	Price
Click for more detail... cboar1	Amazing - Wild Boar Stock - 1850's Muzzleloader I can honestly say in all the years that have gone by since I fell in love with my first antique gun, NOTHING has ever struck me as being as incredible or amazing as this little side by side 16 gauge muzzleloader. The shotgun itself is really just a canvas where a truly gifted artist has left a sample of his work for all to see. Every time I look at the intricate carving on this wild boar I shake my head in disbelief. How could anyone have been so talented as to carve this wondrous animal and all the other details surrounding him, and then fail to place his name on his amazing work of art? If any magazine or periodical or coffee table book ever wants the perfect example of Folk Art sculpted in wood, this my friends would be the perfect choice. I guess I have raved long enough for now, so let me fill in a few blanks. The gun itself is sound and all original. It shows a lot of use and wear and is pitted and worn with age. The hammers work, but not well enough to ever risk firing. I can find no markings topside and I simply refuse to risk taking the gun apart in hopes of finding any. Perhaps hidden somewhere beneath the hardware a name or mark could be found, but the work is just too exceptional for me to tamper with in any way. This is a smallish sized double barrel. It measures only 39 inches tip to tail and the barrels are just 24 inches long. The gauge would be about 16 and I have based my theory that the gun is of German decent on the style of locks and other features I have seen in antique firearms made in the same era in Germany. The bottom line? This is not a gun. Not any longer. This is a work of art and probably should be hung in some great museum for all the world to see and admire, but until someone makes that possible, or like me, hangs it on the wall to stare at in disbelief whenever I walk by, this beautiful old piece will remain available to folks like you and me. Maybe that's	Your Price: $5500.00
