Grandma's Estate
« on: May 12, 2013, 09:36:06 pm »

We had a death in the family and have been sorting through the house.  Is there anything we should have looked at in these pics?

$200 or more on the Lehmann Climbing Monkey
$100 on the Schrade Walden bowie set
$20 on the Barnum Bailey programme

Glassware is o.k, porcelain not so much

Any marks on that deco style calendar thingy ?!

Any marks on the green and gilt glass set ?

I like that green glass set that Ipcress asked about. Look for a mark like a circle with an underlined N on it bottom. Covered butter dishes in colored old pressed glass are very hard to come by.

I would like to see a better picture of the green glass dish with what looks like a bird on it. Also the size.

Is there a mark on the back of the blue and white tile?

You have several pieces of Depression glass, one I think being the Pink Open Lace Pattern

The blue and white coo..."cow" to you,..looks like a Delft creamer...and the tile looks like a Delft also..the creamer, does,nt have much value, £20/25,.the tile on the other hand....if its an oldie, could be worth double that...The tea cup with the roses..looks like Royal Albert,
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

I forgot to mention the Christmas balls. They are very sought after. I sold a lot on Ebay. The older ones from the 30's have a narrow neck. About 1/4 inch in diameter. The ones from the 50s have a wider neck. Most of the 50s were from Poland. Many of the earlier ones were from Germany. I personally have many of them along with those old bubble lights. Look for those.

Ah so, a kugel, huh. I remember the name cause we had a large one once and it took a while to figure out its origin.

I like both Kugels but the Jewish ones are easier to digest than the glass ones.

Behave Wullie!!!

Would also like to see the deco calendar...more pics and any marks.

Brownie Camera worth $20 - $25 here in the South.

One of the green glass pics looks like it could be Vaseline Glass - put it under "black" light and see if it glows!

Agree with Wullie, looks like Delft items (blue white/Holland)



I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!
