Cribben & Sexton "Palace Universal" parlor stove No.26 mfg. 1887.


Truly a delightful, elegant, practical and refined piece of
iron art in Log Home in Colorado mountains. Delightful
moments shared resting in rocking chair with use of
the foot warmers. Heating the hot choc on top of cooking
surface makes the cold nights and morning moments.
Not only are we super seniors, our Cribben & Sexton/
Palace Universal #26, mfg in 1887 beats us in age. This is
our lavish home entertainment center and needs no electricity to
run.

McDonalds 1970's Cocaine stirrers! Pan Am, Harrahs Show Girls, Hand blown glass, Mr. Bartender, and Musical bottle from 1950'




The original spoon-shaped plastic McDonalds Coffee Stirrer / spoon from the 70's & beyond. Eventually, they were recalled and re-configured to a flat spoon shaped surface because of their reported use as cocaine spoons. They subsequently evolved into a narrow, flat stirring end as they are now, and lengthened.
This is quite the collectible! My mother saved these stirrers. I just now looked them up! There all worth about $3-$4+ each, except the hand blown glass, I do not know, There is Pan Am, Show Girls from Harrah's, and various others. The Mr. Bartender I got at Thrift store last week for $2.50. They are from the 60's and 70's. The music liquor bottle plays "How Dry I Am" when you pick it up spring is set free and music starts. It is from the 1950's.
"Made in Japan" copper skillet....?




Hello :)
I was going through some of my older boxes that had been in storage for a few months and ran across these...I remember picking them up at one of my favorite little thrift stores for a very good price $3...I started researching but haven't found anything and remembered (thanks Inky!) that I haven't been on here in a while and I should just post them. To me this skillet looks vintage and aged (?)...I know nothing about copper pans and haven't found anything re this type of cookware that says "MADE IN JAPAN" - and any idea what/who the label is?...very curious. Any information would be wonderful...
Cheers,
Rhonda

Peugeot Freres Coffee Grinder-Is this one original or a repro?




I received this lovely Peugeot Freres Coffee Grinder as a gift many years ago and for many years used it to grind my morning coffee. It has just recently struck me that my grinder may not be an original, although when the gift was presented to me I was told it was purchased from an antique store. I am curious about a couple things. First, I have not seen Peugeot Freres Coffee Grinders with ornamental brass tacks on all surfaces. The top has 4 ornate brass tacks in each corner surrounded by two smaller plain round tacks. Each side has one ornamental tack in the center surrounded by 4 small round tacks. It SEEMS old, but I am not sure. I have owned it for about 20 years. The next "clue" that tells me it may not be original is on the brass emblem/logo on front, the left brad is not tacked in the exact center of the hole provided. The tack nearly overlaps with the P of Peugeot. I do believe the knob on the coffee drawer has been replaced, but am wondering if anyone can tell if the overall piece is original or not. The piece measurers 6 inches square and is 5 inches high. The coffee grinder handle measure 5 3/4 inches long. The dome is brass and the interior seems to be coated with enamel. The box is joined with dove-tail joinery. There is a stamp on the bottom faded to the point of not being able to read and also on bottom a mark starting with a symbol followed by TA under which are the numbrs 6 50.
Beehive Stainless Teakettle

I saw this in a Good Will Store as a person was just putting it on the shelf.
It immediately caught my eye. It is heavy gauge stainless steel but there are no markings that I can see other than "inox/18C." on the bottom.
I bought it for four bucks and have tried finding images of a similar one on the web to no avail. It's beehive design seems art deco? but I have no info on the kettle. Does anyone know the brand and/or when/where this beauty might have been manufactured??

My Mom's favourite teapot

My Mom has had this teapot since I can remember. It was her pride and joy. I know nothing about it, only that she always went on about it being RS Prussia. Thought I would share. It's beautiful.
My Mom passed away suddenly, leaving very little as she lived a very simple life. I know she would want people to be able to appreciate this beautiful piece.

Keeping an eye on Sean



So Sean Bellin and I were thrifting together...by text. We kept sending each other pictures of possible purchases. Sean of course wanted me to buy everything (see ugly candle stick post) and told him not to buy a hideous vase he was looking at. (did you buy it?)
Well then I ran into this pepper 1940's shaker. Basically I found me ; ))
Right after that, I saw the WMF Ikora pedestal dish. Naturally Sean was over the moon for it. So cajoling was involved and naturally I got it for my spoiled friend in Wisconsin.
Then I thought that he would make a great pedestal for me!
I also found this really cool metal pencil holder...guessing late 50s. The color is great so I have to sneak into the house somewhere.
Big Kiss Sean!
