height and diameter both 1.5 inches, a few minor dents which don't show up well in the photographs but good overall condition, no monogram, marked as one may suspect with the Gorham trademark, sterling, and B4186.
Length 2 1/8 from tail to snout; height 1/2 inch, weight .77 oz. Troy, excellent condition. A flagrant violation of Cherner's Rule (never offer any items not made before Yours Truly) but quite charming, nicely modelled and well cast.
Philadelphia circa 1815, single struck Fiddle Shell and Thread, length 12 inches, weight 5.75 oz. Troy, some light wear and a minor scratch below shell as shown in photo number two but fine overall condition, scarce.
die rolled border and engraved cartouche centering monogram "Des." (or perhaps it's Wes, or even Ves?) diameter 1 3/4, height 2 inches, weight a pleasantly hefty 2 oz. Troy, some light wear to engraving but fine overall condition, marked only "sterling / 11".
circa 1850, height 3 3/4; top diameter 3 1/8; bottom diameter 2 1/2 inches, satisfyingly hefty at 5.94 oz. Troy, a few very minor dings but fine overall condition. Just one or two mouse clicks in a GoogleŽ search window will find you a similar example which was lighter, shorter and in rather shabby condition that fetched our same price, at auction...
length 8 7/8 inches, one has a stainless blade which sadly has been set in with lead solder (the handle rattles a bit; there's a minor dent), the other an original blunt s/p blade, monogrammed "BHS".
and alas we have only one, but it's entirely possible to hold a knife (see scintillating action photo at enlargement number four) with a single, though not a log. Height 2 1/2; length 3 inches, weight .84 oz. Troy, well cast and in excellent condition.
in the form of miniature 18th century porringers, length across handles 3 1/4; diameter of opening 1 3/4 inches, some minor etching of interior (see third photo) as is often seen in salt cellars but fine overall condition, no monogram, weight 3.31 oz. Troy the pair.
engraved in bowl, whether it was a souvenir from that leafy suburb of Northampton or a gift to some long ago Florence we'll never know, length 7 1/8 inches, slight wear to crown (reverse) but fine overall condition, weight 1.68 oz Troy.
