Rare to find Goffering Iron. Goffering / Tally irons were used in making and preparing the ruffles and fluting in clothing from centuries passed. The iron would be heated in a fire, wiped clean, and then held in the iron tube. These tools were used in the 1600’s and into the 1800’s. This rare three legged form with beaded body and finale design dates back to late 1700s to early 1800s. It would be a great addition to any collector of wrought iron or period piece items. It is in great condition with amazing metal patina. Complete with the iron. Sits firm, no wobbles. Will measure about 13″ x 12″ with iregular shape.

Lovely Early lock with key, the key is correct and the mechanism whilst ancient operates this could be made to work in situ, it’s a Fantastic Early thing, it’s meant to lock you in or out but not designed to operate from both sides of the door. Wear and tear the nails could do with renewing i guess but what would you expect, some old worm holes as usual.
This is an exceptional piece of early 1800’s (circa 1815) oil on canvas American nautical folk art. Depicts a two-masted schooner with an American flag flying, depicted in a harbor scene. Age related damage including one larger patch of damage to the canvas measuring just under three-quarters of an inch (see last photographs). The frame is newer, most likely under 100 years-old. Label on canvas is from Dan C. Caldwell, a general store in Russell, KY, purveyors of books, stationary, paints, oils, brushes, cigars and tobacco, wall paper, etc. The canvas currently does not sit flush in the frame in one corner, but that could be remedied.
