Antique Questions Forum / Need Help Identifying These Items...
« on: April 11, 2015, 02:48:08 pm »
I got these along with some other German WW1 items. The item with the swastika seems to be a clip of some sort. When you pinch it, there are teeth on the opposite end that grab onto something. The other items seems to be a oiler or liquor flask of sorts. You fill with a liquid or oil, then when you squeeze the fluid goes up the tube and out the little boys private area making it as he is urinating. It says GERMANY along the ridge. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Yea I couldn't find much on her, but I did however find lots in the entrance JC Buttre. His lithographs similar I'm size to this one went for around $500-$600 in art gallery auctions. He also has items in museums. Of the items I saw sold though none were of any topic. They were just random people or a scenery. Mine is atleast a desirable topic thankfully. And I didn't pay a lot for this. I got lucky and got it for only $10. The man didn't even know his wife put it to sell and then saw me walk out with it and started yelling at his wife! I offered give it back but he said no he would take it up with his wife and then he began to tell me how his father gave it to him and his father before that.

Antique Questions Forum / 1871 Civil War Era Lithograph "The Empty Sleeve"
« on: October 26, 2013, 03:26:41 pm »
I recently came across this Lithograph and was wondering if anyone new off the history of it It value. And help would be greatly appreciated! I got this from a older gentlemen, around 70, that said it was given to him from his father long time ago. The title of the lithograph is "The Empty Sleeve." What A Tell Tale Thing Is An Empty Sleeve. It says it was drawn by Miss A.R. Sawyer and Engraved by J.C. Buttre. Published by George Stinson & CO. Portland, Maine. Above that it says "Entered according to act of Congress AD 1871 by JC Buttre in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the southern District of New York. It's I'm the original frame still it seems with the original hanging hardware and wooden backing. It is portraying a Civil War Soldier after his Return Home having to explain to his daughter how he lost his arm and why. The Lithograph is around 16"x23" in size. It looks to be on thicker paper and has aging and even discoloring as you can see (marks and that are in the glass itself). And that's pretty much all I know about this, so I am turning to the experts. You guys are always do helpful! Thanks!

« on: August 22, 2013, 05:55:01 pm »
Yes it's a knock-off, John Deere makes the exact one with their name in it as well. But Mart is right there about people specializing in knock-off and foreigns. It's a pretty big market now days and some people pay well for certain items. I specialize in vintage toys and when I get knock off Star Wars Figures they go faster than the originals!

« on: August 22, 2013, 08:54:07 am »
I recently got this what seems to be very old antique oil lamp. Like fun the primitive age. I see other old oil lamps online but can't find any like this. It has a hallmark at the bottom which I included a picture of and seems to be a figure of a man straddling the wick part of the oil lamp. Its about 3" in height x 4 1/2" in width. Can anybody please help me with more information on my find!?
