    J.R. Harris Frankfort Indiana & HK Marking

    Been trying to find a little info on this bottle and am drawing a blank. Anyone know anything about this one? I'm no expert by any means, but usually can find something thanks to google.... But drawing a blank on this one. If nothing else, I thought I would post pics for future reference here...

    Not sure what it is....

    Pretty sure it is the metal parts of a wooden office chair. In the first picture the device is upside down. The four arms attach to the bottom of the seat of the chair, and the opposite end would have four legs attached. This central part of it will have an acme thread in the center to allow...

    No Name No Clue - Age? For?

    Pardon a cry for help here... Came across this and have no clue. Not sure of age, use, and what the technical term is to call this type of bottle? Your thoughts? It stands about 5 1/2 inches tall, has a rough pontil, and lots of pinpoint size bubbles and several large ones. In some light you...

    Trash Or Treasure Jar Lid ???

    Pardon what maybe is a really naive question....But I have not seen one of these before. I ran across this Presto jar lid, and it seems that Presto lids are just too common to sort through in searches. So figured I would ask the more experienced. I have seen zillions of the ones that just say...

    Found Glass Razor Strop With a Kicker

    It is marked on the back on one edge Patent Applied For and on the opposite edge Chrystal Strop. It is for safety razors only, and is just about 3 1/2 inches square.

    Found Glass Razor Strop With a Kicker

    Ran across this glass safety razor strop the other day. This was rather exotic I am thinking, as most folks used the inside of a drinking glass to sharpen safety razor blades says my dad. So having one like this was a bit flashy eh? Of course the cool part of this is who it was advertising...

    Ball / Medford Mustard Label on Red Book #220-5

    Been a while since I have contributed, so I thought I might toss up a few picks of this jar. Nothing rare, but I do like the label. Medford Brands was the precursor of what today we know as "French's Mustard as can be seen in the company name at the bottom of the label. This example also has...

    Odd Stone What's-It

    That is sort of why I was not sure it was REAL native American...it sort of looked "Stone Tool" but since the thing measured out to modern measurements...I figured it was not. To be honest I was thinking it some kind of old worn out industrial electrical part.

    Odd Stone What's-It

    I am thinking slate, as on the one end I can see what look to be layers... and I have handled soapstone before, and this does not feel right for that...but I am no geologist for sure.

    Odd Stone What's-It

    Thanks Plumbata for the thoughts. The box lot was found in southern central Michigan area. Please dont worry, I did not get carried away with scraping on it... my work was virtually microscopic and unobservable. I only did it after measuring it. I did not think it possible for it to be very...

    Odd Stone What's-It

    So at a local sale last week I spot this little Boyds Jar in a box lot.I buy the box lot and head home to sort out my treasure. Usual junk, and mouse nest and trash.Then I find this bit of stone, or some sort of slate? Hard yet soft... I can scrape some off with my knife. Looks almost stone...

    Copper Jar???

    Pardon an item that is not made of glass, but I am drawing a complete blank on this thing, and am stretching for long shots. I friend has found six of these copper jars on a family farm and wonders what they are for. I drew a blank... Anyone recognize these? They are made of spun copper, but...
