Complete matched set of heavy silver plate ice cream spoons are a most delightful addition to your family and entertaining dining...I'm thinking Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla at the moment! Yum! I personally have a similar set, and my friends often request Ice cream for dessert just so we can use the spoons! Not only is it rare to find these spoons, but even more rare in a perfect set of 12...

Delightful tea strainer in the shape of a tea pot with a gold washed swiveling basket for an authentic cup of tea! Will polish beautifully. Perfect for you or as a gift for the tea lover!

Perfect for a night at the opera, ballet or even birding, these opera glasses in original leather case was made by Lorenzo Suscipj in Rome circa 1840.They are black over brass and leather in a leather case with deep pink silk lining with gilded lettering signifing his optical engineering status.

Most unusual silver plated tea strainer with an art decoesque round art plastic (bakelite?)handle. The black handle is the size of a quarter and is attached on the bottom with a tiny screw.. The photos show a yellow color which looks like wear, however it doesn't show in person.What a rare piece for your tea time pleasure!

For the love of Dogs! This Victorian collectible certainly looks like man's best friend. It has a glow that makes me think it's pewter rather than spelter. The old red velvet cushion seems to be original, and has been restitched with some of the original sawdust leaked out. I actually have the sawdust and will refill and stitch if you prefer. Such a fine addition to your dog or sewing implement collection!

Such a great addition to your game dinner or for the hunter in your life! These 6 horn handled knives are unique and useful as well! The ferrules might be silver as often is the case. I've never seen any with the horn so highly polished. Quite collectible then and now!

Such a delight to use this antique horn handled cutlery! Venison anyone? They also make a great wedding gift for the hunter in the family! Set of 4 forks and knives. The ferrule seems to be silver. Sometimes recycling has more than 1 advantage!

This well worn coal scuttle appears to have served well in the past and can continue to provide a decorative and useful accent at your hearth! It has the original black tongs, and intact handles, and seems to have a double bottom to protect from hot coals. It's only adornment is the two simple lines of gilt at the top and bottom. Measures 15" tall X 11" across. Chippy paint and slight rust as shown in photos, but it is very solid and HEAVY.

It seems a coffee grinder must have been a required and necessary item in all European households from the beginning of time! When my electic grinder died, I used my vintage German "decorative" grinder (very similar to this one) and still use it! It never fails me and I can enjoy it's presence as well as effeciency! This one was made circa 1920 by Geschmiedetes , a West German Co. known for their grinders. It's made of lovely blond wood,with black painted wood knobs...
