Beautiful Old Painted Iron Boules Ball antique coca cola This gorgeous three-drawer mahogany salesman's

This gorgeous three-drawer mahogany salesman's sample chest would have been used by a furniture maker as a visual aid to help make sales

and finely done--to my eye this vase is pretty close to a perfect thing

I’ve been paying some attention to old bulb kit tins of late

with nice rusting to the surface of the iron

Beautiful Old Painted Iron Boules Ball antique coca cola This gorgeous three-drawer mahogany salesman'sBeautiful surface, wonderful feel in the hand, just a nice thing to set in a bowl or toss around while one is thinking. I think this is an old bocce boules ball, solid steel or iron with incised radial lines and a whitish gray surface. Too satisfying to not bring home with me. 2 7 8" in diameter; weighs 1 lb. 12 oz.. Perfectly aged condition, very early 20th c I believe.
