Vintage Dental Tools

If anyone can help me out on this antique item I would truly be appreciative. I believe it is a vintage dental tool sterilizer. I was told it was a device the dentist used to clean and sterilize their instruments. They would light the wick and let the cup get hot in order to sterilize their dental instruments. I am not sure if this is correct or not, so if anyone knows for sure I would like to hear from you. Thanks

The Treasure Hunt

The pictures above are the three boxes I brought home yesterday. As you can see these boxes have been stored for a long time without being moved, and have collected a lot of dust. Going through them is definitely a dirty job, but a fun one. It truly is like a treasure hunt each time we bring a load home, I can't wait to see what is inside each box. The lunchboxes were the exciting treasure we found this week, along with the china. I always made fun of my father-n-law for collecting anything and everything, but I am afraid I am falling into the trap as well. I can't wait to completely go through one box before I am opening up the other two to see what is inside.
You can't imagine the boxes in the warehouse, stacks and stacks of them. It feels like it will take a life time to go through them one at a time. I think what we have on the website http://www.junkables.com/ is from around 30 boxes.

Favolina China Rosepath

The treasure for this week was an entire set of Favolina China - Rosepath pattern. There are 8 dinner plates, 7 saucers, 7 cups, 1 platter, creamer and sugar bowl, 8 bowls, 7 small bowls and a few other pieces. The china is in great shape, I think I saw one small chip on the back of one of the saucers. The bottom of the plates have Favolina China made in Poland and the number 3, Embassy China Royal Imports, and some of the pieces have the number two on them. I not sure what the number means.

If you would like to see more pictures or more infomation go to: http://www.junkables.com/ and click on the products tab, then glassware, and the china will be on the 5th page.

Thanks

Brass Bull Knocker

In the box with the jewelry we found an old brass door knocker (I think it is brass). It would make a beautiful addition to any door. If you are interested in the knocker just click on the link below and click on the products link and then on the clocks link (I know it is out of place) and it is on the bottom right of the first page. We hope to have new content on the site by Sunday night. I will take pictures through the whole process, from bring the boxes home to unpacking and repacking them. Until them have a wonderful Friday.

Costume Jewelry

http://www.junkables.com

We found a box of Costume Jewelry today and I have not had the time to go through the entire box. I will put a few pictures on now and when I get through the entire box I will add the rest. We have been going through several boxes at a time and things are starting to get out of hand. My basement now looks like a junk store. I need to take several boxes back to the warehouse before I go through any more. I will make that my goal for the weekend, repack all the boxes in my basement and take them back to the warehouse. I also have several pieces of costume jewelry from my mother's collection; I need to go through that box as well. We are going to really try to put all the Jewelry on the site http://www.junkables.com/

Fenton Glass Bowl

The treasure for this week was a small Fenton glass bowl, it stills has the Fenton sticker. In the same box with the Fenton glass bowl were several pieces of carnival glass. To see more pictures of the glassware go to http://www.junkables.com/. We also uncovered a vintage dental chair. It was in the back of the old warehouse and as we moved all the boxes and large items out, we were able to take pictures of the chair. It took a forklift and two men to move it. The chair is in great condition just a little dirty. The hydraulic lift still works, we plugged it in and tested it. The dental chair and the old dental compressor would make great decorative pieces for a dental office. For additional information on these pieces just send an email to info@junkables.com. Thanks again for all the interest in our website and all the support as we get started. We really can't express how grateful we are to have such a great group of friends and customers.
