All 3 are lovely!!!!!!

 

Hey everyone! Im new to this group so hopefully I'm following the rules correctly. I found this at an estate sale. I had to have it but Im not really sure what it is. Photos are attached. First I thought dough bowl but it could be a washboard?

 

You could have posted it in a new thread......but once it's here.....no worries.

It looks like a hand made washboard........or painting tray.....but likely it's something else..

Where R U ?
How big is it ?

 

I live in Illinois it is 2ft long, 1 ft and stands 6 inches high.

 

I think someone started the project of making it into a dough bowl and stopped in the middle.

 

It's a washboard ... https://www.pinterest.com/pin/211387776235057382/

 

well, that does make sense...

soo...it rocks to throw the water out.....?

 

Better that than making rolls in it, especially at this point. Splinters in your food aren't fun.

Had some "fun" today. Mom wanted me to take some books back to the library in the next town over. It's just down the street from an antique/jewelry store. So in the melting slush I drove over there and spent $30. Included in that are a Kramer necklace, a sterling pin, and a Montreal Olympics souvenir. Also a repair project, if I can work up the nerve.

 

Trying to post a picture to see if anyone can tell me what this is

 

went to a sale yesterday, first time in months for me. It was a beautiful sunny day, tables set up outside, lots of stuff and not many people, everyone was wearing masks and keeping their distance. I found some great Christmas items to add to my collections or gift on. Napco figure/bells in box, box has wear and tear, figures are excellent, mini ornaments for my feather trees, box of ornaments on the way to one of my girls, 2 pipe cleaner Santa, plastic outdoor set of Santa and his reindeer, excellent condition, nice Canadian Electric box with bulbs, Gurley choir figures candles.

 

also got 15 Lucky Lager beer/logging posters and a signed George Humt print, has some sort of stain/mark on it though, it is 15" x 18"

 

@cxgirl, you might carefully and lightly try an art gum eraser on that stain on the poster, but stay away from any pencil signatures!!! Just a thought! Neat collection!!!

 

thanks for the tip Aquitaine My track record for trying to fix/help/make things better is not good, it is best I leave them alone

 

Poster ?
That's a Ltd Edition serigraph.....
& George Hunt Jr. ...... nice eagle !
The logging posters though........are really nice !

 

thanks for letting me know it is a serigraph komokwa, it is a nice piece
yes, the lucky posters are pretty neat, nice photos of old time logging. I remember when I was a kid seeing trucks with a load that would be just one or two of the huge trees, these days a load is of 2nd and 3rd growth, so lots of trees to fill it up

 

I almost haggled the price on this, then realised I really should just grab it. Same carboot as the George Unite cup, but six whole pounds as opposed to five. It's an odd little sale: a bit scruffy but good stuff.

1860, Angell, London hallmarks with a wonderful handmade liner.

 

Owned, that's a charming little piece! How tall is it?

p.s. Congrats on the purchase price - very nice!
