Mid-20th century cast
aluminum patriotic eagle with shield. We have never seen this
form before and what it lacks in serious age, it makes up with its
sculptural presence, impressive size and overall form. Measuring 43
inches tall and 13 inches at its widest point it remains in
excellent condition and shows good signs of age. Inventory number
24PD73.

Skillfully
hand-carved 19th century bust of what we believe is Diana, the
goddess of the hunt or possibly another mythological figure.
The overall condition is good, however with anything made from wood
and having good age, there are some losses and age cracks which are
visible in the images. The wood has toned very nicely and developed
a very impressive warm color, patina and surface. Size: 19 x 12 x 7.
Inventory number 23PD1049.

Large 19th century
mortar and pestle in the best red color and surface. It's our
belief this was an interior sign rather than a working mortar and
pestle because of its size and being made from pine. Every M & P
we've ever seen has been made from a hard wood like maple. Size: The
mortar is 10 inches tall, 14 inches with the pestle. There is a
small chip on its base that was reattached decades ago. Inventory
number 24PD122.

19th century childs
cup with the name "Hannah". It's a wonderful little cup, but
from age and use, there is an imperfection in the form of a very
tight hairline which you have to look for to find. It measures only
1.75 x 1.75 inches. While the name Hannah is a common name, finding
a cup with this name is uncommon. Inventory number 24PD122.

when you see these, one or both ears are either gone or
have suffered damage.
