    Well went to find the Brandy Warmer and after the second time looking found, and well I passed 2.99 and not sure she would be impressed, considering she was with me and she didn't find it, was sign enough  ;D   I did walk out with a few treasures, guess you left me something Oceans.  ;)    Did you buy a bunch of stuff ?   Sure didn't seem to be a lot of stuff tonight  :D    Anyway got a Doll which I will post about in tales Thread about her low brow doll, Got me a cool looking Royal Copley window vase, both in the collectibles section, Each was $15.00, not my normal price range, but could not pass up the Doll and since I was buying that Ithink I'll get the vase too.    Anyway thanks again for the tip, did not get a brandy warmer, but did buy my first Doll  8)

I tell ya, I felt like a total idiot when I realized what I had done. I had found the original page and when it said that it had been relisted, I thought I was at a current auction, got all excited and posted, LOL! DOH!!!!!!!

hahaha!!  I left you a few but I'm wondering why I didn't see the that handled silver thing you've got there  :)  What is it?

I inherited my parents server so this year I have a whole table dedicated to deserts and really wanted to jazz it up.  I also found a nice Wm A Rogers cake/pie plate - probably the Oneida era but I'm happy...

Hi Ironlord,

Found this one ... but not sure if your good lady wife is into genie lamps!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/EDWARDIAN-SILVER-PLATED-BRANDY-WARMER-GLASS-c1910s-/120648723897?pt=UK_Antiques_Silverware_RL&hash=item1c17396db9#ht_2434wt_932

This other one seems a bit of a rip off .. and they seem to be very cleverly not saying that it's EPNS !!

Love that first one mario!!  Shall we nudge ironlord in that direction??   ;)


(Maybe we could get him in for some belly dance lessons so he could make a spectacular 'presentation' )   ;D
