A brass tag from a local store ( no longer in business) called Drysdale's it ran over 100 years. I estimate mine from the 30's or 40's.

Hello these items are interesting. I don't have a photo but I do have a carved stone tomahawk that I found in Peru. It has an eagle head on the end of the handle and other carved details. It is packed away - so when I get to it, I will take a picture and post it. Next fall. RED Matthews

This is a small coffee pot from Paterson General Hospital that I would date to 1920 the latest, it is marked on the bottom Reed & Barton 932, 8oz. Coffee, Paterson General Hospital. The pic of the inside of the lid is as it was found many years ago and I think it's solid silver, just needs to be polished, it shows no signs of being plated.

There are either ebony or onyx inserts in the handle for heat and I assume it was meant for individual rooms in the hospital, I also have a matching creamer. The hospital stopped being Paterson General in 1915-20, now I need to bring it to a jeweler I guess to find out if it's silver...Jim
