Vintage 10-Inch CAST IRON PIG Outdoor Candle Lantern! - eBay (item 310026185869 end time Mar-01-08 21:07:52 PST) This outdoor candle lantern is a cast iron holey pig. It's a real attention grabber. I see no maker's mark anywhere. A platform in the bottom belly holds a tea light or candle. A sturdy metal ring on the back hangs it up or it stands firm on four legs.
He's ten inches long and weighs almost seven pounds. His snout and ears have some light rust, but he's built solid.
Does this vintage cast iron pig outdoor candle lantern make you smile? It tickles me.

Vintage BAGDAD CIGAR HUMIDOR Rough Ceramic, Metal Lid! - eBay (item 310025911116 end time Feb-29-08 18:54:27 PST) This vintage cigar humidor is ceramic with a metal lid and features a portrait of a man with a mustache and beard, fez and uniform. It says, "Bagdad." There is no other mark.
The glaze looks dirty, but it isn't. The marks are all in the glaze, possibly to look old? There are a couple dark rough spots on the bottom of the blue near the rim. It's just a very rough sort of glaze job, on purpose.
The ceramic has minor scratches and wear. I see what looks like a few hairline cracks inside the bottom, but the glaze there is undamaged, smooth and glossy. No cracks show outside.
The lid has three dark spots and other more minor marks on the upper side. The underside is duller with numerous marks and some wear where the container touches it around the rim.

Excellent therapy for the convalescent.
Bright plated finish for lasting beauty.
Accept the challenge: try to remove and replace the nylon band without reading the instructions.
It comes with the original box and instruction sheet. There is a diagram for each of the eight steps for putting on and taking off the nylon loop.
The loop isn't on/in the puzzle right now. It's just barely attached, ready to be dealt with by you, the puzzle-lover.
The puzzle is in great shape. The box has many bends, a big hole and some pinholes in the lid and moisture stains. The instruction sheet is torn halfway across, creased and bent, but all there.

Vintage 10-In TURKISH BRASS COFFEE GRINDER Hand Cranks! - eBay (item 310025497088 end time Feb-28-08 18:15:00 PST) This vintage brass coffee grinder is marked on the bottom, "KTM Original Mocca." There are bands of design around the tube and much patina.
It was difficult to get the two parts separated. We didn't get the top off. Maybe you know how to persuade the brass top to loosen so you can actually use the grinder.
