8 3/4" long, 15/16" large-end opening, 5 3/4 ounces, including the lead filling in the pointy end. In my fantasy I picture stuffing this into the...
~9 3/8" long, ~6 1/4" tip to hinge rivet, ~1/2" wide at tip, tapering to ~5/16" at grip, ~11 ounces. Both limbs are identically cast, an' very...
Google image is no help; eBay doesn't show anything close. I'm guessing last 3rd 19th C...bwdik? It's seen some weather, judging from the...
~4" long, 1 3/4" wide. Sure wish I had the rest of this, the latch-works...sigh. It looks like Eastlake to me...but I'm gonna list it, an' wanna...
Charming ain't a word commonly associated with cold iron, but there are several aspects of this I find so. ~7" long, 1/4" thick, 6.35 ounces. It's...
This was one of uncle Leonard's treasures. I posted here because I find it jewel-like in many respects...Mods can move it, if inappropriate. 3...
I have heard these called sister hooks. But I'm finding that isn't their correct nomenclature. The long pin is apparently to pass through a clevis...

More of Mom's stuff...~1 7/8" diameter, central stone ~7/16", the others ~3/16". The clasp is fairly modern, there are no marks. Three things...
Another of Mom's pins, which I had not ever seen her wearing. It's ~2 3/4" long, 1 1/4" wide; weight is 0.460 ozt. The image is, for me,...
Dug into Mom's jewelry an' found several items of perhaps moderate interest. The wishbone, 'tho unmarked, is probably gold, based on the fine...
I'm guessing this an' the previous are of late 19th to early 20th C manufacture. There are small similarities; the piercing in the foot-rest...

They are somewhat similar to my pair, an' I would appreciate knowing what the market for them might still be. Thank you, most sincerely!...
It's really a damn shame I have only this one...the pair would command some serious attention on eBay. ~8" tall, 6 1/2" wide, 2" deep at the top;...
