This is not something you see every day! Its called a lazy jenny. It is for winding wool after you spin it into yarn. A great old primitive. Everything is hand carved and its put together with pegs and dowels. Six removeable spokes come out of their sockets for storage. Great condition, its all there.Email for more photos

Four vintage gold tone engraved lockets, two with same pattern and two others different, suspended from chains. This was to be hooked on a sewing chatelaine. Color good outside, no scratches or denting. All clasps work well, and the photo frames are intact inside each little locket. Each measures about 3/4". Chains do not look original. More photos upon request.

This circus elephant is made of pottery and hand decorated. I believe it is a string and ribbon dispenser.Perhaps I'm wrong and it was intended for a different use. It measures about 4 1/2" tall and is almost 7" long. It has a moon shaped slit behind each ear and two 1/2" holes on its behind. Most of the bottom area is open. Heavily crazed, and a tiny fleabite on one ear (just noticed). More pictures upon request.

Old woven chinese sewing basket with original decoratin of cord handle with brass oriental tokens for decorations. It is round, and 10 1/2" in diameter.4" deep with lid on. Basket is dark brown (almost black) in color. The inside of the lid and bottom have a herringbone weave. The outside has a totally different weave. It is in excellent condition. There is not even the slightest break in any of the weave. Very carefully kept. I have more photos if you ned to see them.
