Here we have an item that I will have to let the pictures tell you about. I don't know enough about this type of jewelry item to accurately describe it. I'm fairly certain it is made of shell, there are no markings on the mounting that I can see. I believe it is a simple gold filled mount. The clasp is not the spring type but a simple lever that swings to lock the pin. The four small designs on the mounting appear to have a different color center in them, someone remarked that it was a two color gold. Ask if you have any questions and I will answer to the best of my ability. $135.00

  Here we have an item that kind of speaks for itself. I don't know what the significance is of the carving, I can't make out any particular design. Perhaps just a students practice piece? It is carved on one side only. Just a nice piece of light green jade. Measures 2 inches square. $100.00

TOOTH PULLER, VERY EARLY:

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A VERY EARLY DENTIST TOOL. APPEARS TO BE TIN PLATED. MARKED WITH THE NAME "LESLIE & Co. St.LOUIS" HAND CUT CROSS HATCHING FOR ADDITIONAL GRIP. NUMBER 24 STAMPED ON ONE HANDLE. APPEARS TO HAVE DRIED RESIDUE ON ONE GRIP, COULD BE BLOOD. $35.00.

   Here we have another item that I will have to let the pictures describe. I believe it is made of shell. As you can see it is fairly large and in a heart shape with a very pronounced curve and is un-mounted. There is a mark in the bottom front that I believe say's MASA or MASR. The meaning of which I don't know. On the reverse there is what appears to be a name, a signature perhaps, I can't decipher it. $155.00

        Here is an item that the pictures speak for themselves. An absolutely beautiful pin, hand made in 22k gold. No hallmarks are visible. Professionally appraised at $1240.00 in 1990 when the per ounce price of gold was considerably less. Please see the attached photo of the appraisal for a complete description in the gemologists words. A copy of the appraisal will accompany the pin. The hanger assembly at the top (removable, not soldered) was added to the original bail at the top after we got the pin to allow it to be worn pinned to a blouse or sweater. This item perhaps was designed to be worn as a necklace. Please note the added pin was intended for hanging a ladies watch to a blouse and purchased from a dealer in antique jewelry it IS NOT a high content gold item but perhaps 10k. Shipping insurance will be required on this item. $1850.00 

Traveling wooden ink well:

 crack in top, visible in photo: $75.00

Here we have a pair of Conestoga brand binoculars made in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. They have a lens cover that is attached by a chain which is spring loaded to hold the cover to the front lens. The optics are clear. The leather covered tubes are complete and have minimal scuffing. The tubes that extend with the center wheel have significant paint loss. The painted surfaces on the eyepieces also have scuffing and handling marks. As you can see this pair comes with it's case which I believe is made from a soft oil cloth type material. The case is complete but is in heavily worn condition.
