Vintage SILVER SWAN GRAVY BOAT, Sleek Heavy Candy Dish!

Vintage SILVER SWAN GRAVY BOAT, Sleek Heavy Candy Dish! - eBay (item 310075673186 end time Aug-20-08 18:29:32 PDT)

This vintage gravy boat is solid silver, we think, because someone dug at an awful sticker to remove it and the scrapes are still silver inside. The swan's shape is beautiful and needs serious shining up to look as fabulous as possible. I see no maker's mark anywhere.

I'm calling it a gravy boat, but it could also be a wonderful candy or nut dish. It weighs a ton and is well made.

Vintage Silver-Color WIRE FRAME EYE GLASSES Oval Lenses

Vintage Silver-Color WIRE FRAME EYE GLASSES Oval Lenses - eBay (item 310075672196 end time Aug-20-08 18:21:51 PDT)

This pair of vintage eye glasses has oval lenses free of chips, cracks or scuffs. There are no nose pieces except for the loops bent in the bridge. They have delicate wire temples and weigh almost nothing. I see no maker's mark.

This style of temple that wraps around the back of the ear is great for active people. These spectacles will not fall off, even if you turn upside-down.

Vintage Black Leather SHOULDER HOLSTER .45 or .357 Size

Vintage Black Leather SHOULDER HOLSTER .45 or .357 Size - eBay (item 310075428872 end time Aug-19-08 17:58:10 PDT)

This vintage shoulder holster is for a right-handed person and is maybe for a .45 or .357 pistol. The harness is adjustable with lacing and the strap has a buckle closure. No maker's mark, but someone scratched what looks like "K/159" onto the back above the holster.

The holster sheath is about 8 1/4" deep. We touched up a chafed spot on the holster tip with old shoe polish. Too late we noticed the polish had gone skunky-smelling, so now the holster is kind of skunky-smelling. We hope it airs out before shipping. Sorry.
