Featured Menorah and otoscope

Went to an estate sale today which is really unusual on a monday but picked up a couple of things. The first thing I saw was the menorah sitting on a shelf, picked it up and saw the 925 on the rear panel hidden under a bunch of tarnish (pics after cleaning). It was marked at 25.00 but was able to get it for 20.00 which is more than I usually pay but I liked it. Had the artist name " Yaacov Heller "
Also saw the welsh allyn otoscope with attachments in a Bakelite case, was marked 20.00 but since the seller couldn't get it to work got it for 5.00. took it home, new batteries and cleaned contacts works like new.
Think I did alright!

 

Nice
Yaacov My grandfather's name on my father's side.

 

'Menorah and Otoscope'. Not 2 words you usually hear together.

 

True, was a strange sale. The owners packed up a couple of suitcases and left for Africa as missionary's told a neighbor to sell everything.

 

go back again..the sellers are idiots !

Classic Israeli menorah ........lovely !!!!

 

My thoughts were similar...."strange combination, but nice" Lovely Menorah!!!!

 

I'd have jumped all over that too. If you sell it, expect it to head back to Israel; Israelis are buying back their history and childhoods too.

 

Thanks all for the comments, haven't decided if I'm going to sell or keep may just put it with my other silver one that I got awhile back!!

!!

 

Beautiful Menorah!
(Are you in the Boston area? I noticed the otoscope was marked OB St. Elizabeth's. I was born there in 1955.)

 

WoW what great little finds! YES! GO BACK!!!

Old Poet, No central Fl area but this otoscope might be a little before your stay there.
Was embarrassed by the heavy tarnish on the last pics so here are a few all polished!
