This is a cute little toy sad iron in the shape of duck or swan cruising on the water. I tend to think its a swan based on the neck. Anyhow this adorable little thing would make a great display piece for someone.

Item 2171
Way out of our usual baliwick, I have been using this trench art piece made from a cut down Imperial German WW I artillery shell casing to hold loose change on my desk for the past few years. Now I’m ready to part with it.
This is a shell made in 1915 at the Polte Magdeburg manufacturing center and after a lot of research I believe it was made for either the 10 cm K-99, or the 10 cm Kanone 04. Based on the shell’s manufacture date it probably was one of the earliest shells made for the Kanone 04. The 252 is the inspection marker on the shell, but I’m not sure about the 274 – and I suspect it was a batch number.
Marked: “274 Polte Magdeburg Oct 1915, sp252”
12 cm in diameter at the base and 11CM at the upper rim. Stands 3cm tall.

Very decorative Victorian era cast iron oval picture frame with elaborate patterning. Really beautiful. Just add a piece of glass (we can have one cut for you at an additional charge – but I suggest you have it done locally) and a cardboard or wooden backing board. Really spectacular.

Nice old wrought iron hearth trivet used for cooking before the advent of the home stove. Made by a blacksmith this one features a fancy hanging hook, two fixed feet, a peened on third leg and peened axis for rotating the trivet disc. Must have taken some talent to use as I would have been greatly concerned it would tilt over, but maybe that is just me as the peens are nowhere near as tight as they used to be a century or two ago. A really nice primitive piece.

Can you imagine making your morning toast using this old frontier/hearth toaster? Slice your bread and put the slices into the rotating end piece, sit it down near your cookfire and wait until one side was done before turning the end piece 180 degrees to toast the other side. Pretty darn cool. This one predates the invention of the household stove in the 1830s. A blacksmith made piece, this probably belonged to a fairly well off family who had the wherewithal and room to own a gadget like this back at a time when most folks were toasting their bread in a skillet.
Sold unrestored in perfect working shape. This one would be great for historical reenactment, or used as a display piece.
$225 shipping included in price.
This is an old smelting pot, by an unknown maker.
Only marking is a number 6 (or is it a 9?)
6″ diameter, 3″1/2 depth
While I don’t know what kind of things this one was used for it was difficult to clean and season – and I don’t think I’d use it for food preparation unless you tested it for lead first.
Because of that it’s really just a nice display piece.
Looks great, and primitive, shows marks from a mold repair (that is the mold that was used to make it had repairs and you can see the lines of that on the finished product – considered normal just in case you were wondering).
Features a wire bail and a heat ring.
Cleaned and seasoned.
