For $850 I could buy ALL KINDS of REALLY NICE THINGS. ...A planter isn't one of them! That guy sounds delusional.
I keep one of these on my desk in case of power-cuts, and for melting sealing-wax: [IMG] It's the chamberstick which the Skultuna brassworks...
The slit down the middle with the adjustable slide is called a stump-ejector. When the candle's burned out, you unscrew the knob and force the...
Me being the incorrigible rogue that I am, I couldn't leave the dent on the rim of the mortar alone. I took out my little ballpeen hammer and...
Picked this up from an acquaintance of mine. I won it from her on eBay. I think she was relieved to give it to me to be honest - she said she was...
If it's not for cards or stamps, then the only other thing I can think of is matches. Or possibly something which people could up as they walked...
We have to be practical about this. If it's only two inches tall (and by the looks of it, only about 1in wide?), then I just don't see it holding...
I dunno!! It's not a very big box. It's about 4.5in across, about 1.5in front to back, about an inch and a quarter high. Whatever it held, back in...

I've done a bit more researching. Apparently it might be a tabletop snuffbox. The piercing on the lid (and there are a few holes) are for letting...
I've seen MANY calling-card cases, and quite a lot of them would quite comfortably hold a quantity of modern business-cards with no problems....
Your guess is as good as mine! One guy said it was for hairpins/hatpins... [IMG] It's from 1901, and it's about 4.5in across. The hinged lid...
We're not interested in whether or not you take our word as gospel. Not being religious I don't particularly care one way or the other. What Komo...
I'm confused. "Did you stop for a minute to consider that another answer may be possible?" ...No. Because that is what it is - a curling-iron...
What answer would that be?
Apparently the input might not have been as appreciated as we first believed, Komo! Presumably lamp oil or similar was poured into the base and...
