Yet more "things"

This vase is supposed to be quite old. I am not sure if the paper ("Roseville Pottery") photographed below actually goes with it. The third picture is the bottom of the vase, if you wish to check it out.  The vase is green (despite the appearance in the picture) and is 9 1/4" tall.

A ceramic Easter egg box from Tina Hakel (Grandma's assistant at the Winchester High School Library) in 195-. It measures 4 1/4" x 3".

Teacup -- feels like fine bone china, but there is no marking on the bottom. The cup is 2 3/4" in diameter x 1 1/2" tall.

Old ironstone cup; 3 3/4" tall.

Ironstone cup. 3" diameter x 3" tall.

Floral ceramic covered dish. 3" x 4" x 1 1/4" tall.

Eight (only one pictured) etched glass plates; 6 3/8" diameter.

Heavy lead crystal "bowl;" 7" in diameter.

Some more "things"

 A commemorative plate from The John Libby Family Association, 1987, 11 7/8" diameter.

The next several pictures show various of Grandma's necklaces. If it looks handmade, she probably made it. The acorn in the second picture comes from the Bicentennial oak on the farm in Maine.

Various pins, one set of earrings (clip type) and a mini pin cushion in a walnut shell.

 Various metal pins and one necklace. The maple leaves were made by Grandma on a vacation trip to Fundy National Park, Nova Scotia. The road runner was given to Grandma by Grandpa.

More pins. The "pansy" was made by Grandma of lichens found in the woods in Lynnfield. The Mother of Pearl dove was purchased in Bethlehem.

Green "plastic" (perhaps lucite) bracelet. Gold band ring with initials "BMM" (Bessie Mae Maloon).

Two very tiny pins.

An assortment of Grandma's rings. I can't tell you too much about them. The third ring in is an opal. The fifth is turquoise. The seventh belonged to one of Great-grandpa's sisters and represented their club or sorority at MCI (Maine Central Institute). The last ring is a black pearl.

The first rings appears to be a wedding band, but whose, I don't know.

Tole painted wooden heart, by Grandma.

Pressed flowers encased in beveled glass. Would need to have a loop soldered on for hanging. (There used to be one).

Wooden darning tool (can't remember the correct term right now). You would put it into the sock that was being darned so that there would be a solid shape to form the patch (or darn) against. Belonged to Grandma Williams (CBW). Her initials are etched into the surface.

A really cute (much more so than I could photograph -- he was shy or stubborn) puppet made of various wooden shapes. I assume that it was given to Grandma. The strings are quite mixed up, so would require some work.

Three wooden lamp bases made by Grandpa. The two lighter ones are of Mathews' holly and the darker lamp is of cedar. The holly lamps are 13 7/8" tall; the cedar lamp is 12 1/2" tall.

Antique oval mirror. It has brackets to fasten either into a part of a bureau or the wall. The glass is beveled. Some of the silver is off in patches. 18" x 13", not including side brackets.

One of several brass plates made by Grandma. This one belongs to Uncle Glenn, but I included it here so that you could see the lovely work that Grandma did. She engraved the Libbey coat of arms in the center of the plate. 11 7/8" in diameter

 Wooden boxes. I assume that both of them were made by Grandpa. There is some question on one of them.

"FOU" Wood from Samoa. I couldn't tell from the note on the bottom whether Bro. Overson made the bowl and gave it to Grandma and Grandpa Christmas 1982 or he gave them the wood that Christmas and Grandpa made it later. 11" diameter x 2" H.

Lazy Susan made by Grandpa at Fundy National Park, Nova Scotia. There was a wonderful school there and each of us took one or more classes. Grandpa took woodturning; this was one (or only) of his projects. 13 7/8" in diameter x 2 3/8" H.

Myrtle wood plate or tray. Commercial, from Oregon. 8" diameter x 1 1/8" H.
