Pantry Box Advertising Label Medium

Hard to find pine pantry with advertising label suggests this was actually made for “American Fig Confections” while also bearing the name of “Necco Sweets, New England Confectionery Co., Boston,”. This medium sized pantry dating to the turn of the century boasts delicious patina. The lapped over construction on the lid as well as on the side lacks nails that are commonly found but this box was made this way. The rest of the piece was constructed using tiny nails. A repaired crack appears on the edge of the lid near the front location. The overlap area that touches the existing sides (lid and box) was much lighter in color and extended outward 1/4". I was able to color match the existing patina to lend a consistent look. No wood loss to report. Consistent wear including scuff marks as well as light scratches. The label is 90% intact. There is also a tiny wood chip located on the label just left of the “star”. Inside lid reveals the artwork that could be attributed to the mischief of a child showing a series of penciled in rectangles. Condition is still good. Pantry stands 3 ¾” tall, measures 8 ½” across the top and bottom. More pictures available.

Stoneware Jug Mid-19th Century

Unique piece of stoneware having an applied handle boasts a “Gonic” style appearance referencing pale floating halo's against a warm nutmeg ground. The soft, rich earth tones are soothing and create a delicious hue that gestures a neutral color palette. It is difficult to attribute this jug to a specific region as there are no makers marks or decoration to go by. A hairline crack located in the front opposite the handle (midway point) cascades downward toward the base. Glaze pops have occurred during the firing process, one near the crack and others (smaller in size) are sprinkled randomly throughout. A small wavy line, though hard to detect can be found on the front upper area. Just below the top edge a horizontal brown streak is seemingly held captive inside the crevice.

Pennsylvania Water Color Landscape Painting

This delightful painting was found in a circa “1755” Pennsylvania stone farmhouse located on 134 bucolic acres in Bucks County. I was able to acquire two of these paintings signed by the artist “Ross”. The artist captured a beautiful farm house lending Pennsylvania flavor flanked by trees with blue skies overhead. The style lends whispers of a naïve folk art composition interpreted by the artist using brush strokes of whimsy. This painting just explodes with happiness and delight as the birds are taking flight in the sky while the trees seem to be thriving because of the springtime weather. There is some paint loss located on the upper right hand corner with further (minimal) loss sprinkled in the middle of the large majestic tree. Age of the painting is unknown and frame may be a later addition. I tried to research this artist but hit a dead end. Apparently, there was an artist studio on this farm but the owner’s name does not coincide with the artist. The frame is in good condition without any chips or cracks to report. I hope this painting speaks to you! Overall height including the frame measures 12” tall, measures 17” across and is 1” deep. More pictures available!

The feet are original and the leather covered feature lending a warm sorrel hue is warm and inviting. Portions of the leather in the back location do not exactly lay flat as it once did. There are signs of wear associated with the edges having minimal leather loss. The inside is lined with what appears to be red felt. There are some areas on the top that have a lighter appearance. One limited tiny chip located on the bottom of the right foot. Overall condition is very good considering the age. Leaning toward the smaller size there can be no excuses of limited space.

Early English Sampler with Scottish Inspiration

Nicely executed unattributed northern England sampler with verse and symbolism protected under original glass with intact frame. Scottish motifs of the swan and unicorn were borrowed from earlier printed motifs from the late 1590’s and again in 1604 by Johann Sibmacher in Germany. This textile dates from 1750 to 1850 and was stitched using silk embroidery worked on a woven linen or linen blend ground. A continuous strawberry motif border is a delight and possesses symbolic qualities of love and rebirth. Four floral designs all with urns contribute to an exciting focal point in the lower center field area. Two other opposing intricate floral arrangements can be found just above by seemingly adding sunshine and happiness to this piece. There certainly is a lot going on and the more you examine this work of art the more objects you will see such as deer and birds. Some fabric loss due to age along with darker toning. This lovely worked textile still shows well and would make an interesting addition to any collection! Measures 16” tall, measures 16” across and is 1 ¼” deep. More Pictures Available.

Early Show Towel Section Gorgeous

Beautiful show towel worked on linen with silk thread dating from the 1820 to 1840 period displaying intricate early drawn-work / tatting. Show towels are usually much longer than this example as they were hung over the kitchen door. The raw edged top and bottom may provide insight that part of the towel is missing and what remains is a section. Right and left sides seem to be comprised of a salvaged edge. Stitching is unsurpassed and the floral elements are just amazing sporting a soft shamrock green with highlights of avocado. There is an area referring to the openwork that was stitched in brown silk compared to the rest of the piece that may suggest Mennonite origin as they purposely created a “flaw” in their work because they felt only God was perfect. A series of double crosses (possibly signifying a pendant) done in triplicate at the bottom held fast by a worked (chain) may symbolize the holy trinity therefore this piece may portray religious connotations incorporated by the maker. There are no holes to report. An area of light toning is present but the overall appearance is still wonderful. Towel measures 24 3/4” tall and measures 16” across. More Pictures Available.

Double Burner Open Chamber Lighting Device

Interesting lighting device having a “tilt” feature made around the Civil War period. Behind the open window in the front lower section a burner is visible with a reservoir residing below intended for the use of whale oil. The top reservoir may have used either kerosene or whale oil but is hard to determine because the burner is missing. Only the threaded feature remains but can now accommodate a candle as shown. The tilting feature would allow access to the bottom reservoir for filling purposes. Middle section behind the burner has incurred light surface rust. Saucer base edges are not uniform in the front and portray a wavy appearance. Condition is still good and this piece shows well. The wire strap between the handle and reservoir at the bottom provides extra strength for carrying the lamp around when full. Nice example of early lighting that is not commonly found. Stands 7 1/4" Tall, measures 3/4" top opening and measures 4" across the bottom. More pictures Available!

Unusual Tin Kerosene Lamp

Unique Kerosene Lamp having a single burner equipped with a wick that dates to the 1875 period. The graduated cone shaped piece off to the right having a side window was fashioned from either mica or isinglass so the light held within could escape. The upper portion of the glass appears to have a slight overlay referencing the top right corner. It has a tilting feature so the wick can be accessed. This lamp may have been used for a special purpose where a small direct light would have been needed. By unscrewing the burner from the base which was made from galvanized tin one could gain access for filling purposes. Wick adjuster intact. Decorative scalloped edge below the window adds special flavor. This lamp is unique, in good condition and is complete! Display area on the top may suggest a home for smaller early lighting vessels.

Powder Horn Cabin and Heart Design

Beautiful stylized mid-19th century Powder Horn having an inscribed design showing a “cabin in the woods”. This bucolic scene boasting folk art trees wraps around the throat and appears at different levels. A brass hand cut heart delights us located on the top wooden cover and shows tiny nails used to secure it. The decorative tacks on the collar lend even more detail. A copper loop was attached to accommodate the cord hanger (that apparently was found on Southern outfits). This was probably a right hand carry piece fashioned from cow horn. Instead of having a carved feature referring to the design elements, it appears the maker decided to draw the scene instead. The base plug is missing. There are a couple of inconspicuous cracks located at the edge of the collar as well as a tiny piece of metal that protrudes the horn surface. A recessed band wrapped with some unknown fiber can be found near the bottom. Great piece of folk art that awaits a cozy mantle!

Swedish Weaving Shuttle Heart Design

Wonderful weaving shuttle embellished with hand carved and inlaid heart decoration. Swedish origin dating to the late 19th century to the turn of the century and my guess is this piece may have been given to a sweetheart by the carver because of the heart theme. The initial “H” appears in two different places. Shuttle was varnished because it helped guard against friction and drag by allowing it to glide across the warp threads more easily. A piece of thick wire on both ends was used as a “wear guard”. The wire is missing on one end but indications it was present are there. A small chip can be found on the end that has the wear guard intact. Nice form sporting a gentle curved feature known as the boat. The small dowel in the middle originally held either flax / linen or wool thread. This shuttle is further accented with vines and a series of half-moon circles on the top location done in black paint. There are several tiny holes present shown at random from a bug but he is long gone! Condition is very good and this unique shuttle is probably one of a kind.

This pair of flatback, strap handled (one only) cookie cutters are folksy and fun! They date to the late 19th century and depict two women, one large and one small.

There is a small break limited to the left arm only where the solder has pulled away from the tin. Larger cutter having one large and two small vent holes. Smaller cutter is missing the handle which provided an opportunity to create a wire stand. This piece may have been re-soldered at one point because the metal alloy extends past the figure.

German Putz Spotted Ram Rare

Hard to find Putz ram having a spotted wooly coat. Blue collar is marked Germany and still retains original bell. His horns have a “make~do” repair and are not original.

The right ear has a chip on the edge but the other ear is fine. One of the front legs is a little wobbly but the rest are in good shape. You may have to position this leg a little outward for him to stand correctly. There are some areas in his coat that appear light brown in color and are probably age related.

Homeopathic Traveling Vial Kit Complete

Interesting Homeopathic Traveling Vial Kit, 1900 to 1920 era. These vials predate other glass examples and are harder to find because they are lacking the screw threaded top. Amazingly, they retain their original corks as well as the labels (though hard to decipher). One of the tops has broken off in one bottle. The “extract or patent finish” referred to by Glass-makers such as the “Illinois Glass Company” indicates a squared off to slightly rounded band on the lip which is a little wider than the upper neck. These bottles were turn molded as they lack seams and have a distorted (wavy) appearance on the bottom. Crystal clear hue suggests they were tucked away in the leather case provided and were not exposed to sunlight. Case has appropriate wear and possesses a snap closure. Bottles are in perfect condition! Case measures 3 3/4" tall, 4 1/2" wide & 1 1/4" deep. Bottle stands 3 3/8" tall & bottom measures 3/4" across. More pictures available, just ask!

Early Spice Box Slide Cover Table Version

This interesting spice box fashioned from cut nails dates from the early 19th century and has great form sporting a raised center on the slide lid cover along with trim details that finish off this piece quite nicely. The six divided compartments are intact and boast honest patina preserved by the protection of the lid. There is a piece of wood missing from the top upper corner. It does not appear to be a clean break and my guess is this corner may have been affected by a hungry visitor who tried to gain entrance for the delectable goodies housed inside. The left bottom corner has slight damage. It is structurally sound and sports a dry attic appearance. Very unusual spice box that is not commonly found. Box measures almost 9” across, stands 3 ¼”tall and measures 5 ¾” front to back (deep). Compartments measure about 2 ½” by 2 ½”. More pictures available!

Early Pennsylvania Salamander/Spatula Pair

These early white-smith fashioned salamanders, (sold as a pair) offer instant late 18th to early 19th century charm to any hearth. Both of these hard to find Pennsylvania origin pieces would have been used as a turner and can also be called spatulas. These whitesmith fashioned spatula’s exhibit a primitive and crudely fashioned look but yet the scalloped edges on the second piece do convey decorative form. Well defined loops are located in the back that act as hangers. There are areas of surface rust in reference to the spatula with the rectangular bottom located on the edge of the handle (near the top) as well as on the front. The first spatula that sports the scalloped edges does have a slight bend at the bottom that curves toward the back. The surface has dulled to a desirable pewter color over time. However the front of the rectangular shaped turner is a tad more shiny than the other piece. Both measure 12 1/4" tall. Contact Michelle Thank you!

Early Pantry Box Marked Peas

This antique pantry box was found in Virginia and was evidently used to store dried peas as the word "peas" is stenciled on the side. All tack construction (no staples) and showing a nice dark, rich patina. The lid had a crack which we have repaired and there is a wedge of missing wood about 1 1/2" long to the right of the repair (see photo #1). These old pantry boxes are getting harder to find at a reasonable price and we are pleased to be able to offer this l9th century piece at an affordable price. Height is about 4 1/2" and diameter is 8 3/4". FREE SHIPPING! Contact Judy Thank You.

Antique Chocolate Heart Mold

This antique/primitive flat heart mold is very heavy and in excellent condition. It was purchased several years ago from a large collection of antique heart-related items that were assembled over a period of 20 to 30 years. As seen in our photos, there are three horizontal rows each containing four separate molds, for a total of twelve individual hearts. The hearts are concave to accommodate the melted chocolate. Each heart has a cross-hatch design which would have added a charming decorative touch to the finished product. The frame is quite heavy; the back shows the soldering around the individual hearts and the horizontal band reinforcement bars. A sturdy wire is attached across the back for hanging. A small amount of rust due to usage can be seen on the outside rims but is not visible from the front. The mold is not marked but is quite similar in construction to an early Eppelsheimer soldered and framed flat Indian Head mold as seen in "Chocolate Moulds -- A History & Encyclopedia" by Judene Divonne -- page 48. This beautiful piece measures 14 1/2" wide x 12 1/2" long x 1 1/2" deep. Contact Judy
