Wierd metal bowl with picture on bottom?
« on: January 18, 2013, 02:32:46 pm »
Ok last thing I have for you guys today... Could not find anything about this or even if it is old at all. (same box as so called old cheese grater) First of is it even old?
Check this out... Probably at least 200 years old based on the amount of garbage that was in the dumpster around it.

There are no words, symbols or signs on it at all. Don't want to get rid of it cause it is kind of cool but I don't want to horde junk either haha.

I think Mart is right with the cover. Like a porcelain pot lid, only here inset within a metal cover.

That would be a baby cake because its about 6" in diameter.

Yeah looking at it now it does look like a cover.... I'm gonna hit up the cheese board cover collectors club to try and get rid of it.

Look's like the lid off a jewelry / powder box. Like one of those with a music box in the base.

is there a buyer or trade market for that because I am only allowed to collect three types of thing right now. (wife rules) If not I do not want to just toss it cause it is pretty cool and I hate throwing away things.

Could be either one !!  I would just list it on ebay along with all the possibilities of what it might be and see where it goes !!
