The listing, Odd Lot of Antique Items: Skeleton Keys Gillette Razor Box Silver-Plated ? Postcards Photo Frame, has ended.
I usually don't do odd lot auctions. But I took a look around my work area, and I realized that I had quite a few different items that were just a bit odd all by themselves. So I gathered them up, introduced them to one another and created an odd lot that isn't quite so odd in the company of friends.
So, here's what I have listed:
4 old keys, the smallest of which has Comfees Comfort Key on it.
Hunt's Club Invisible Talc, Toronto, Canada--full. I've not been able to find another one like it.
Two antique postcards both written on but not mailed. The Easter card has a crease lower left. 1910s.
A circa 1905 Gillette Razor case (no razor, though). It is metal with a very thin leather or fabric veneer. It is lined with olive colored velvet which has the Gillette logo embossed in silver. This case has seen some wear, but it is a cool little box to hold little stuff that you don't to get lost.
Yellow glass inkwell--unusual color.
Strange Silver plated pieces: an object made from what looks like a bent spoon and the end of a knife. The only thing I can think of is a toothpick holder.
The other item is marked W in a diamond shape and SILVER PLATE. This is for E.M. Weinberg and Co.--they were active in New York in the 1910s and 20s. I'm not sure what it is--please give me a holler if you know what this is used for!
A vintage photo frame with no glass.
A red cardboard powder compact from Mavis.
A heavy finial from a curtain rod (maybe).
I think that's everything! The items are all in good condition, but please examine the photos carefully for condition details. This is a really nice odd lot with some gems in there. You don't want to miss it!

Thanks for viewing my auction!!
