Here is a 1950's-60's vintage heavy art glass ball ashtray with controlled bubbles included in the purple glass. It has a ground and polished base and an adjacent ground and polished circle that lines up opposite the opening which can be seen through the opening. It measures 4.25" high x 4-3/8" in diameter. Opening is 1-7/8". There are some surface scratches and a line from water being inside that indicates it may have been used as a vase by a previous owner. These are not real noticeable because of the thick glass and all the little bubbles. Tiny flake at edge of base has also been polished smooth so it may have occurred during the making. There is also one thin curved line of bluish white glass in the purple. Purchased from an estate sale.

Odd vintage set from Wheaton Glass Company was found in its badly tattered original box. It contained 2 advertising pieces, a paperweight and an ashtray. Both read: Glass WHEATON Since 1888. The ashtray (5" x 1.25") looks like the depression glass pattern, Manhattan, with a red plastic basketweave piece underneath providing a non-skin surface. The paperweight (2-5/8" x 3/4") has a black fired on platonite type underside. There is also a pair of salt & pepper shakers (2.5") with black and white plastic shaker top inserts and plastic covering caps so they can go to picnics with you. The only evidence of use is that the interior of the salt shaker has been affected by the salt. It has a whitish haze that didn't wash out with soap and water. Everything else is in excellent condition except the box (as previously stated).

This vintage NASA ashtray was purchased from an estate sale. It has a NASA logo in the center with a replica of what I believe is the Mercury Space Capsule on the right side. It is made of a ceramic material (china, porcelain, etc). The logos are glazed and a part of the piece (not stick-ons or decals). Triangular mid-century modern shape measures 9.5" x 6-3/8" and 3.5" high at capsule. Overall network of fine crackles are not very noticeable unless examining closely. Excellent condition otherwise... no chips, flakes, cracks, or repairs. Great space collectible... would also make a swell catch-all desk or bureau piece. Purchased from an estate sale.

This vintage cigar cutter is marked on the knife blade: Schatt & Morgan Cutlery Co Titusville Pa. The mark places the year of manufacture between 1902, when Schatt & Morgan moved to Titusville, and sometime in the late 1920's, when they went bankrupt. The company mark didn't stamp completely as the knife end and shaft are on 2 different levels so it reads only SCH.....ORGAN CUTLERY CO TITUSVILLE PA. Knife blade is smooth but darkened and the very tip is broken off. The fob loop is marked: F & B. The metal is gold colored and quite shiny with some surface scratching. The original owner has scratch engraved his name in script into the surface on both sides: Harvey. 2.5" long not including fob loop.

We are offering a group of vintage pipes today. All came from the same estate collection. This one has no marks that I can find. There's a rectangular plaque carved in the wood that looks as if it should have had a signature or stamp, but it's blank... in the same style as the oak leaf pipe offered in another of our auctions. The bowl is deeply carved with leaf and flower design. I don't know what type of wood it is. The stem appears to be horn. Length is 5-3/8", height of bowl is 1-1/8", inside diameter of tobacco chamber is 11/16". It has been used. Tip of stem is discolored. It has a chip where stem joins the bowl. Stem does not fit real tightly into the bowl. A patina is developing on the wood... darkening and polishing to high spots on sides of bowl from holding. Rim is blackened from smoke. Wood part is in good condition.
