Amazing find for sure! Now if only I could find some hidden treasures at the flea market. Kind of sad that it only sold for 80 pounds so not a financial windfall but still pretty cool that it has survived all these centuries.

 

A lot of people think that if an item is thousands of years old, it must be valuable. This is not necessarily true. Items that old do, however, always carry a weight of history, which imparts value beyond the monetary.

 

It is gorgeous, but not the most useful shape for a toothbrush holder.
People do the strangest things.

 

LOL! My toothbrush holder, for a while, was a pickle plate.

 

Hi,
I use an old (1904) sterling shaving mug for my toothbrush and paste.
