This brass ashtray is a puzzle to us. We do not know how old it is or where it was made. It IS really intriguing. It has a creature on the right top corner that looks like a dragon. Then , there are two children (?) trying to light a very long pipe in the middle of the ashtray. This is definitely a conversation starter. It has no marks on the back of the ashtray. It measures 5" high and 7" wide...

Meerschaum pipes are made out of compacted minerals from the sea. Meerschaum is a soft material when removed from the water, and once it has dried out it may be carved. Once the material has been carved it is usually covered in beeswax and heated thoroughly in a kiln to prevent it from cracking. Meerschaum pipes are unique because the meerschaum will slowly change to different shades of yellow, red or orange after time from the smoking process.

This meerschaum pipe has never been smoked...

This is a rare, metal, vintage, mechanical bird cigarette dispenser and the original metal box that goes with it. It is in gold tones. It is from the 1940s. The mechanical pick-up bird is in great condition. On the front of the box are 2 levers and a bird. You push down on the lever and a tray slides out and the bird bends down to pick up the cigarette out of the tray. This item came from the estate of an elderly woman.

Hand carved –from Turkey--Never smoked. Meerschaum is a German word meaning “sea foam”. Geologists know it as hydrous magnesium silicate. The pipe will turn from beige to red. It will take from 2 to 3 years for the pipe to color, although it depends on the tobaccos that are used and the amount of time smoked. Use tobaccos rich in latakia. Do not cover the pipe with chamois to protect it. The chamois can retard the coloring process. Do not tighten or flush the bit...

This is a very nice vintage ashtray with a covered wagon on it. It looks like bronze to me but I am not positive. It could be pot metal. There is a hole in the very middle of the wagon where matches stand. There is a little discoloration on the ashtray itself but it is old -- about 63 years old. It might come off with a little cleaning. The tray itself measures 5 3/8" at the widest part. Very good condition. It would probably shine with a little elbow grease and cleaning fluids. I will...

There is one windmill bulb pot which is NOT MARKED. Classic blue and white windmill pattern but it has no mark on the bottom. I think it is a bulb pot. (Maybe a Crocus Flower Pot.) It measures about 5 " tall x 4" wide at the top. The original paint job on this bulb pot is not the best but it has a great windmill motif.

You also get two windmill ashtray shoes marked Delft Blue and handpainted. All in...
