Thanks to all for taking a look. Getting some good info here and appreciate the help. And thanks K, for finding a photo of a double one....
Interesting! Several very similar looking items from that era. Gorgeous! AF, thank you for the detailed responses. Taking a better look the...
Thanks Spring and Komokwa. I was curious about the age of this and what exactly to call it. Might be used in sort of a "show and tell" situation...
Well done, Mill Cove! (Too bad what you were looking for wasn't inside.)
Was wondering if there is a special name for this type of candle holder? Also curious about age. There are no markings other than the small...
A good suggestion. Yes, the "pair" was throwing me off, too.
AF, I think you are correct! I was struggling to try to figure out exactly what was missing with this, but it is the shape of a watch key. Thanks!

I see what you mean about the cat. Does look drawn in -- or possibly someone somehow enhanced the cat in the photo? No idea really, but...
Thank you Mill Cove, this is the first similar I've seen. And identical to the ones I sold last week. The first comparable. Thank you! Was...

Nice photos, thanks for sharing!
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Any idea what these are used for? Any special name? 5" across or so. Thinking vintage or newer, all thoughts appreciated. :)
Thank you! :)
I just tried, didn't seem to move easily, but not impossible it was intended to at some point. Good suggestion, K. Editing, just saw the...
From a continuation of the sale where I got those miniature Erhu cloisonne pieces. These are in nicer condition, fairly ornate, front and back. I...
Seems like it might have some age, whatever it is, maybe early 1900's? Broken on one end, also possible the chain wasn't original to the piece....
Thanks for the replies. :) Much appreciated! Who knows, could have been for land or sea, but if sea, the thought of being near someone smoking...
Cigars would make sense. Thank you! Wonder if this was from the actual ship? Purchased it for possible resale. Additional thoughts welcome!
Blind luck maybe, but combined with a certain kind of skill. One gets better at seeing quality in items in general, and that can transfer from one...
Separate names with a comma.
