The Egyptian goddess Isis graces the center of this small antique brass tri-footed trinket dish from the Benedict Manufacturing Company. The plate has a beautiful repeat edging reminiscent of the Arts & Craft style of the time.

Advertised to the gift trade in Geyer's Stationer 1909 catalog, the 'Karnak Brass' line was said to embody "the Egyptian idea of utility and art," and "A distinction and a uniqueness in quality that make it attractive to the best classes of trade." Each piece in the line was hand finished with "antique brass and Nile green decoration". You can see traces of the "Nile" green on the feet of this piece.

Based in East Syracuse, New York, the Benedict Manufacturing Company, founded in 1894, produced decorative metal household items from copper, brass, silver plate & pewter until they closed shop in 1953.

This lovely little dish is stamped "Benedict" along with the company hallmark, the number "573," and " Karnak Brass." The piece is in good vintage condition and shows a marvelous patina of age. The patina is not uniform over the entire piece and is lighter and darker in some spots. There is a "streaking" that almost looks as though light it is emanating from Isis's wing. My preference with antique pieces is not to polish them, as I believe the aging process enhances their appeal. I will leave polishing up to you. The dish has a few light scratches on the surface from wear.

The Rumidor Humidor created in the 1920s by Richard Zucker was said to keep cigars, cigarettes, and tobacco fresh by means of a "moistening agent" referred to as solidified rum. It's rumored that this 12-year aged "solidified rum" was actual rum and a clever way to get around the liquor Prohibition laws of the time.

The lid of this ingenious tobacciana collectible, has a compartment into which you would insert a packet of the "moistening agent" and then turn "on." The hammered copper over tin gives the humidor a very rich look.

This is a very early model of the Rumidor Humidor. The lid is marked "Pat Applied for Reg U.S. Patent Office." Rumidor applied for the patent for this humidor in 1930 and received the patent in 1935.

The humidor has three pieces--
Top Compartment - designed to hold the packet of moistening agent
Lid - into which the top compartment fits snuggly
Bottom Section - compartment for your tobacco product.

The humidor is in good vintage condition and has all its parts including a sponge in the top compartment which I'm guessing would have been soaked in rum. The hammered copper finish is in descent shape for a 80+ year old metal container. The humidor has some worn areas, spotting, or as some would say -- a nice patina of age. Please look at all the photographs. I'd be happy to send you additional photos.

Humidor has a 6" base diameter and stands approximately 6 1/2" tall.

This vintage crochet afghan was handmade by someone who understood color combinations and advanced crocheting techniques. Using a variety of crochet stitches in single and double color patterns, the maker expertly wove an amazing blanket. The colors include two shades of blue, red, black, beige, & gold. I love the blue and black border!

Handmade vintage textiles remind me of the continuity between generations. Forty years or so ago, someone took the time to make a blanket for her family. She most likely learned the stitches she used to make the afghan from her mother or grandmother, who learned the stitches from her mother, and on it goes back into history. Crochet is an ancient art and this afghan is a fine 1970s example of that art.

Made from sturdy and warm acrylic yarn, this blanket is in good vintage condition. No holes, tears or fading. The blanket has some pilling. Pilling may be removed with a sweater shaver.

Measurements: 66" long x 48" wide.

Antique hollow-cast metal figurine has two adorable cats under a pink umbrella. Made from spelter (a Zinc alloy) and cold painted, this type of statuary was popular during the Victorian era. The pink umbrella is stamped "Germany" underneath. The statue is very small, at approximately 3" tall.

The figurine is in good condition with no cracks, chips or repairs. The backs of the cats have a bronze cast but the fronts are silvery gray. I do not know if the statue was made this way or if the bronze paint wore off the front of the piece. Please look closely at the photographs. The pink umbrella has paint loss and some minor rusting underneath. The pink paint has worn off one cat's nose.

Measurements: 3" tall x 2" wide x 1 1/3" deep.

When I stumbled on this charming wooden toy dollhouse piano at an estate sale, I instinctively knew it was something special. A little research uncovered that it is a rare Schneegas Art Nouveau piano circa 1890s.

Handcrafted by the German furniture company Schneegass, the piano has an oak finish and a beautiful floral Art Nouveau panel on the front. The keyboard lid opens revealing 9 painted depressible piano keys.

Considering this miniature toy piano is approximately 125 years old, it's in remarkably good condition. The top piece has separated slightly from one corner of the back base but is not loose or wobbly (see photograph three). The key board cover does not stay up on it's own.
