18thC Hunting Bag Salt +Priming Horn+Mini Pouch
This grouping was part of a Revolutionary War Era Leather Possibles Bag. Super rare items that rarely survived, especially not still together. The small salt horn measures only 3 3/4" and retains its original stopper, which is almost unheard of. The priming horn at 4 7/8" is missing its stopper. The priming horn, which would have contained a finer more easily lit powder, is still attached by a leather strip to a miniature pouch with flap and leather knob closure containing, what I assume, was patch paper. There is still paper inside. The pouch measures only about 2 1/2" square. All of these items retain the best dry dark untouched patina. The leather on the pouch is dry, causing the flap to fold in half. Additional photos are available.
Price: SOLD Thank you!
Antique Excelsior Stuffed Dog With Foot Boo Boo
This girl has survived a lot of love! The velveteen has worn away in spots, she is missing her ears and the stitching of her mouth. She does retain her shoe button eyes and cute little contrasting brown tail. At some point many many years ago, her injured foot was wrapped with fabric. This puppy is a little wobbly when trying to stand but is successful when "posed" as can be seen in the photos.

Antique 19th C Thick Walled Bail Handle Pantry Box
I have owned this piece forever and still love the form and the dry original gray paint. The paint went on with the cover off, the bottom was painted and there are traces of paint left on one of the metal handle plates, all things I like to see when determining the authenticity of the paint. Nice thick walls. The piece was constructed with copper nails (which indicates New England shoreline origin) and wooden pegs. Someone must have wanted to store something somewhat wet inside and applied short strips of duct tape around the seam. I have a photo of the inside if you wish to see it. Also, something was placed on the cover causing a mark. Measures 12" across the cover X 7" high

Antique 19th C Very Small Shaved Broom / Brush
From my collection comes one of my favorite things. A very small shaved brush made just like the the big guys. Each splint was shaved down from the top and carefully folded over leaving a wonderful short fat handle with plenty of signs of use. For those of you who were fortunate enough to visit and buy from the beautiful home of the late dealer and picker extraordinaire Doug Blanchard, this piece used to live in a wall box on the left side of the fireplace in the idyllic downstairs summer kitchen. It has never been on the market. Measures only 7 1/2" tall.
Price: SOLD Thank you!
Antique Early 19th Century Dry Black Hanging Shelf
From my collection is this diminutive black painted hanging shelf. The paint is original and dry. As wood ages, the moisture within gradually evaporates and items like turned bowls, treen plates and this shelf becomes lighter in weight. Judging from the form and the lightness in weight, it may very well be 18th century. The paint has worn away on the upper section of one side (see photo) and there are a few newer square nail replacements. The shelf is mortised into the sides. Additional photos are available. Almost 24 2/4" wide X 12" High. A simple but graceful piece.
