This Civil War period glazed leather sewing "roll" is actually rectangular in shape . It is brown leather and lighter brown fabric binding. Lined in red silk, while it is worn, is amazingly all there(most wear of the silk is on the compartment gussets). The lock, which still works is beautifully detailed and decorated brass and steel.The thimble holder contains a Simon Bros. Co. metal thimble which,of course, is not original. There is a large steel bodkin in one of the 7 slots. It has three compartments and its original silk covered pincushion forms one of the sides. The width is 4 1/2", the height is 3" and the depth is 2". Given its age and use I think it is in lovely condition.

This is a beautiful 19th century French wire cake and pastry cooler.
The wire work is intricate for such an utilitarian item. And, it miraculously retained 3 of its tassels. The diameter is 12 1/2" and it sits 1" off the table top. The metal has a very nice patina.
For more information on French antique wire items see WIRE, by Suzanne Slesin,et al, part of the EVERYDAY THINGS series published by Abbeville.

This wire trap is pictured in Suzanne Slesin's book on antique wire. I am assuming it was a mouse trap because of its size. It is now for the collector of unusual wire because a small section of 4 wires in the base have rusted away.The rest if it is intact.It does retain its metal little door for retrieving your catch. Diameter of the base is 6" , height is 4", handle is another 2". It is a neat piece.

A beautiful group of 10 of the Nuremberg flats ice skating set. They are in lovely condition - two dimensional, beautiful detailed painting on both sides. There is an elderly couple skating, a gentleman helping a seated woman with her skates, a lady being pushed in a chair sled by a skater, old lady selling roasted chestnuts while seated next to her stove,2 figures of boys throwing snowballs at one another, a snowman holding a broom, a boy skater pulling a young child on a sled, and two separate figures of young men skating. They are all dressed in 19th century dress. These sets which originally consisted of 32 pieces (somewhere I have a copy of the mail order ad that was found with them), were probably sold in the 1950's.

Generally in very good condition.

I have another that is not pictured. It has an orange border and a blue body - also $ 95.00. There is one discolored spot on one side of the orange band, otherwise in very good shape.

This handsome pair of handmade hammered copper candelabra are marked
"Craftsmen Inc. Hand Made 756". The only piece of information I have been able to research is that this company was the successor to Craftsman Studios of Laguna Beach, California. They each measure 8 1/2" at the widest point and 5" at the tallest. The candle holders have gently ruffled borders. Condition is excellent.
