Rogers Silverplate Cruet Caster Set Triple Plate 1880

We recently found a beautiful Rogers Brothers Turning Wheel 4 Station Cruet Caster Set.  This set is in very good condition considering it was made in the period 1870 – 1880’s.  It has the Rogers Mark on the turning wheel.  The four bottles included with the set is Oil, Vinegar, Mustard and Salt.  We found a reference to this item in an 1880 catalog and the cost was $4.25.

The Stand is about 14″ high and 7″ wide.  the turning wheel has a very nice leaf and floral decoration around the outer circumference.  This set displays very nicely and has 4 matching bottles, which I am told is very rare.  This is truly a rare find from the treasure hunters at connectibles.

Chrome SATURN 50’s Deco Punch Bowl 12 red glass SET Mid-Century Modern

As defined on WIKIPEDIA – Mid-Century modern is an architectural, interior and product design form that generally describes mid-20th century developments in modern design, architecture, and urban development from roughly 1933 to 1965. The term was coined in 1983 by Cara Greenberg for the title of her ground-breaking book, _Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s_ (Random House), celebrating the style which is now recognized by scholars and museums worldwide as a significant design movement.

At connectibles we always keep our treasure hunting eyes open for MCM.  Both of us were born and grew up in this time period and love finding things that were around our houses when we were children.  Our children have also come to love household items from this era and use them for decorating their own houses.Punch Bowl

Includes the chrome bowl itself with red wooden lid, ladle with red knob handle, chrome RING that holds the original dozen ruby red glasses!

Simon Halbig K*R Bisque DOLL 6″ Dollhouse Germany

Simon HalbigSimon Halbig2Wow what a cute little bisque doll!  Here is a charming antique TINY 6-1/2″ Child Doll marked Simon Halbig K Star R for Kammer & Reinhardt. Made in Germany, Bisque head, sleep eyes, open mouth with teeth, Composition 5 piece jointed body with painted stockings & strap shoes. Interesting mechanism attaching the legs to the torso as shown in photos.

It is so much fun finding little treasures like this in such out-of-the-way places.  By the way, Simon Halbig was a German company that started making dolls around 1870 and continued for about 50 years.  Many other doll companies purchased their doll heads from S&H.  Kammer & Reinhardt who manufactured this doll was one of the companies that purchased doll heads from S&H.  It is great to know that outsourcing was alive and well almost 150 years ago.  Who knew?  Only at www.connectibles.net.
