Very old early 1900-1920s HWL Washup Wizard brush from back when wire soap sudsers were used in the kitchen - a genuine kitchen antique brush. The other version from the 1940-50s is also very retro as these appear to be a must for today's retro kitchens. The bristles on the antique version are much closer together and softer, possibly being horse mane or tail hair. The later version was "improved" because it spreads the bristles out further to cover more surface area in the brushing clean proce

This quaint money box, in the form of a double-gabled house with clay ‘moss’ on the roof and beside the entrance stairs, is a piece of English Staffordshire pottery. Like the more-commonly-known pairs of antique ‘mantelpiece’ dogs, it is formed from press-moulded porcelain. The design has the drawback that the only way to retrieve money is through the slot in the rear of the roof. In consequence it has received some small chips around the coin slot in the past, presumably where coins have been

This antique silver-plated bud vase has a slender elegance, a gracefully fluted top, and a heavy and ornately decorated base. It is 180 mm high, 60 mm in diameter at the base, and 70 mm diameter at the top. It was made by Birmingham platers John Sherwood & Sons. The company started around 1858 in Birmingham, following earlier incarnations of the family in the plating business, and operated there until 1913. The main company identifying mark was ‘J.S.& S.’ in a shield; but a beaver was also used

These "Barrows Patented Pruners"/secateurs which were made by Burman & Sons Ltd in Birmingham, England over 100 years ago are very scarce probably because they are a mechanical marvel! The biggest plus is that they still work perfectly. Mechanical things were made to last in those days because the manufacturers had no concept of including obsolescence into what they made. The spring works, the closing catch works, the blade is sufficiently sharp, and it is a gardener's delight to have something

This would possibly be the longest frosting or icing knife/spatula you have ever seen. The brand is "UNIQUE" and another Gummie has suggested it is a French brand. The length of the knife/spatula is approximately 43cm of which the blade takes up nearly 30.5cm. The width of the blade is about 23mm. There is a little spotty tarnish on the blade but this does not detract from it's usefulness in spreading frosting, icing or cream on large cakes with ease. I bought it about 43 years ago in an antiqu

It is closer to 200-300 year old Needs restoration but it’s a beautiful piece

It is 2 inches long, 1.5 inches wide and 1/8th of an inch thick. It weighs 63 grams. I found it in an all leather antique golf bag I purchased in Mittagong in 2005. It has "AUSTRALIAN GOLF UNION" (which became Golf Australia in 2006) underneath an embossed golfer at the end of a drive off a tee. On the reverse i

They range in length from 32 to 36 cms. The brass finials are soldered on to the galvanised steel rods and include a rabbit, fish, chicken and native with a huge headdress. There is no sign of rust and I would suggest they have never been used. I couldn't bring myself to spoil their appearance by using them

The inside of the the purse was originally silk-lined but this has deteriorated to such an extent that it would be better to pull it out if the purse was put into use rather than used as a display item. The clasp and frame are in very good condition but the leather could do with a little TLC by an expert restorer.

Antique crocodile skin purse hallmarked by William Hutton in London in 1900. It has sterling silver tabs on the corners of the front flap of the purse, each of which is inset with 3 torquoise studs. There is also a sterling silver tab in the middle of the flap with another 3 torquoise studs. This is the top of the purse's closing mechanism, the bottom part of which is also sterling silver. When I bought the purse, several of the torquoise studs were missing and so, I arranged for a jeweller t

Postage is extra. Cash if picking up locally in Canberra. According to the Birmingham Assay Office, there was a Ludwig Krumm who registered an L.K, and perhaps an L•K as is seen on the silver frame of this crocodile skin purse from 1901 for items he made between 1896 to 1903. The lower case b indicates 1901-02. I don't know what the F means after the b although one theory is that it means foreign made. The purse is in good nick considering it's age. There are 2 tears in the very fine leather of

The actual nail clipping blades are at the end of a V and the V is the spring which is opened and closed with a metal lever, pressing down to clip nails. That lever is clasped to the base when not in use. The clippers are approximately 6.5cm long and it's leather purse is about 9cm long.

Rare and possibly unique antique manual trimmer/hedger which would have been made by a blacksmith some time between 1880 and 1920. It doesn't have any maker or manufacturer's mark but is extremely well made because it does the job it was intended for very well. Thank goodness, however, for the invention of petrol and electric motors which have saved gardeners from still having to use the labour intensive method involved with this contraption. It was intended for use in a right handed way by gra

An antique French Art Deco silver plated set of 3 spoons. Hallmarked by the initials GC along with a scale in the center used during 1862 - 1935. The famous Christofle Brand evokes an elegance and a concept of modern design. Condition is excellent for this age. Patina. Minor wear. Length 16 cm. Weight 82 gr.

The style is consistent with that used for medical eye glasses during that century. While the glass is molded and not totally hand made, the mold lines are slightly raised or rougher than later molded glass and the glass contains bubbles which is also consistent with that period. It is 5.5cm high and 4cm across long ways at the top of the cup. There is a small pimple

The stamps on the inside of the tongs shows JD & S, a sideways shield shape inside of which is EP on top of NS, and then a lamp symbol inside an upright shield shaped stamp, all of which are electroplate marks for James Deakin & Sons. It is a little over 12cm long and is in good condition for it's age.

Both of these beaded pattern epns sugar tongs are stamped with "A1" and "EDWARD" plus a shield shaped stamp with a small crown shape above EP within it. The A1 means first quality silverplate. The "EDWARD" means it was made by George Edward in London, probably in the 1920s. The longer sugar tongs measure 14cm and the shorter about 12cm.

The handles are silverplated with perhaps some steel content under the plating because they stick to a magnet. However, the neck and heads of the trident fork, the slotted spoon, the pate knife and the slotted server are, I believe, made of silver. They are totally unaffected by a strong magnet. There are two stamped marks on the front of the heads of each of these hors d'oeuvre

Postage is extra. Cash if picking up locally in Canberra. Antique French hors d'oeuvres set of four pieces in a style made between about 1880 to 1900. The ornate handles are "metal blanc" which means silverplate but it doesn't necessarily mean epns as the English know it. Normally, English epns or nickel silver is composed of a combination of copper, nickel and zinc which is then electronically plated with silver. Epns is only very slightly magnetic (whereas sterling silver isn't). I check by b

4 antique faux bone-handled sterling silver forks made by R. F. Morley & Co in Sheffield, England in 1908. I haven't found out much about R F Morley & Co except that they were registered in the Sheffield Assay Office in 1886 (page 451 of Jackson's Silver and Gold Marks). They are probably a cake, cheese or salad fork due to their smaller size. The price doesn't include any postage or handling costs. Cash if local pickup in Canberra.
