I hate to ask so many questions, but I was passed down some things and I am definitely not versed any of this stuff and have no idea what it is or it's worth.

This is a cast iron tool of some sort I believe, it weighs 1.3 pounds.  It doesn't have any maker markings.  I can't find it on the internet or Ebay, maybe it has something to do with horse shoeing?  I am clueless.

Here are some photos of an Antique Brass Vanity Mirror that I have had for several years.  I was wondering if anyone would know any history behind it or its value.  I have searched the internet and have been unsuccessful finding one that resembles it and it has no markings on it. 

Thanks!

There are over a hundred of these pots listed on ebay, a couple are very similar to yours. One has a price of $19.99 and the other is around $50 so thats probably your range. It could be more if you can find the right buyer.

Thanks so much, I appreciate the information.

Welcome to the forum , Mom2Four .

Your "Potty" (as these items are sometimes named) sure does appear to have a very early factory mark , c1883 .

Nice keeper item .

You can find out some fun facts about the brothers & the company history at "thepotteries.org" , in the event you've not checked the site out .

Value on older &/or fancy Potties can get high-ish , for this 'type' of unit .

Glad yours has survived the outdoor plumbing epoch !

Thanks Fancypants, I am so new to this I have no relative idea of what high-ish is. 
Can you give me an idea?  Thanks again!

Hi MomToFour,  Welcome to the forum.

We really need you to post a picture of your item and a closeup of the stamp.

There are a great group of people in this group that would be a great help to you once we have this!

Thanks and look forward to seeing your pics.

Thanks KC, here are the photos.

Hi I am new the to group.  I have a Ironstone China Johnson Bros Late Pankhurst & Co chamber pot.  I have tried to find one like it on the internet to do research but have been unsuccessful.  I have found out the the stamp on it was used c.1883 and earlier.  It is perfect condition no chips or cracks. 

Does anyone know about these types of chamber pots or their value? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
