    I was thinking it is toiletry I've only seen very few of these, they seem to be quite rare but whatever they were used for it will look nice with my Victorian wash bowl & jug, I have the wash jug but I'm still on the hunt for a suitable Victorian wash bowl to go with the wash jug.

    I have two of those jugs, the one on the right I will need the wash bowl for, the one on the left stays in the bathroom.

    Nice! I did't get a lot of sleep last night and decided to go to the few sales I could find this morning before having to make my now almost daily run to the library. Spent a grand total of $10.50 on not much. I did find some real vintage clothing, but ... whew, it smells. Not mouse poop thankfully, but I left it all in the garage until I can wash it and hang it outside to deskunk.

    New additions to the hoard from the local auction house. For the first time in a long time they had some good vintage items instead of the typical newer junk and household goods they usually have. Must have been from a antique dealer or garage sale dealer since there are lots of old price tags on items where they tried to sell them.

    My finds from today at the car boot sale.

    There wasn't many stalls open today but I still got some bits although not that extraordinary but still something, a find is a find as they say.

    The NHS bowl is 1950s marked Wood & SONS B.S 4034

    The small brown plate is 1938 to 1940 marked Staffordshire potteries LTD, Detergent proof Made in England

    The small green and white plate is marked Richmond Royal fine bone china Made in England. I'm not sure of the age but I'm guessing that it isn't very old 1960s to 1980s

    The oval plate looks late Victorian the mark is a bit faded J&G MEAKIN England is readable.

    The two egg cups look and feel cheap and modern but will do until I can find some older ones.

    I paid around 30p for each piece so can't really go wrong.

    The medal I probably over paid slightly at 5 pounds, there quite common and don't really sell. Its from 1902 so I don't mind paying a fiver for it plus it will go into my medal collection.

    The coins were 20p each ranging from 1880 to 1960s British and Irish coins.

    I found this very heavy cobalt jar. The etchings are painted gold. I have researched but have been unable to find anything like it. I did post in the glass section but haven't had any responses. I was wondering if anyone here might know something about this piece? Thanks!

    No idea where it came from, but I'd have wanted that lidded jar too. Like many women I'm a sucker for cobalt blue. I'd have glommed that medal too. They're common in the UK, but not around here.

    Not to mention the painted(?) galaith/bakelite brooch. I might have passed on ivory - can't sell it locally and I don't have holes.
