Help Identify any of these items?
« on: May 13, 2016, 05:09:12 pm »
An auction is coming up and like a few things but I never really like over paying. I was wondering if any of you had an idea of what something might be, you could lend me a hand.  :)

These pics are so small I can not see any detail and they do not enlarge !!  You did not say if there are any markings on them !!  If so we need to see them if possible,, if not just tell us what they are if pics are not available !!   The description will help !!  What auction are you buying from ??  You could post a link to the sale page and we can look there !!

First looks like 2 ewers. Third may be a pickle caster.

 It's hard to tell much with the photos, but from my experience, "Victorian era" glass and china is getting cheaper all the time. The Wife and I attended a local on-site household auction the other evening, and came home with the vehicle filled. Example: A red satin Consolidated Glass biscuit jar, a fancy old cranberry enameled brides basket in SP frame...$50 each. ;)

Troy, it seems you have some interesting items here.  In order for anyone to give you an accurate assessment of them we need to be able to see them clearly.

The top items are ewers but you will need to supply better pictures (bottom with maker's marks and inside) as well as the size of them.

The second picture appears to be silverplate and could be a water pitcher that was previously with a water/goblet set OR a coffee pot with a creamer/sugar?  Need a larger picture of each as well as makers marks on the bottom.  Will also need sizes.

The third item does initially look like a pickle castor but, as the items before, we need better close up pictures and pictures of the bottom of the stand to verify maker.  Would also need to verify that the lid goes along with this or was added later.  Also need size.

The final picture needs more pictures, listed sizes and makers' marks as well.

As you can see from the replies, folks here on the forum are eager to help, just need more information in order to do that!  Looking forward to more information!

Is the bottom picture maybe a cigarette holder with lighter and ash trays?  The pics are so small I can't tell if they are or not.

No need for Troy to respond,  the auction selling those items is now history.

The pictures he posted were "thumb-nail" pics copied from an auction ad/notice.
