Lucite statue of liberty trinket

Glass cocktail set with 4 glasses,Airedale?


2 heavy chrome and brass mirrors from the Atlantis hotel owned by Disney

Brass fan set from the 60s,actually made in america!

 

Wedgie, I would have thought.

 

Not if you tug on it and let go...

 

What’s your plan for S.O.L.?

 

Be glad everyone on the beach didn't have a smart phone & next time, get a boat:

 

I call that a slingshot!

 

It's very sweet, but not a tea pot?

 

Johnnycb09, oh my goodness, I "like" everything you found . . . but I really like the "dog" glasses set and the Hall 2-cup coffee pot (but I'd probably use it as a "personal teapot" . . . I don't "do" coffee).

I wonder if the glass with the pouring lip qualifies as a "beaker"???

 

The dog, btw, is most likely a cocker spaniel. The ears are a giveaway.

 

Cockers have short stubby tails. I would guess an Afghan Hound.

 

Cockers and boxers have short tails because their long tails were "docked".

 

Johnny, do you think someone ripped them off the wall???

 

Could’ve been a remodel?

 

Johnny, I, too LOVE the "dog" set!

I'm going to agree with wiscbirddog here, and say AFGHAN... I thought they had more of a "rat tail" than the ones on your glass set, but I guess not all of them do:

 

Oh, absolutely, King! But I was thinking of the way so many hotels now have even their most awful "factory" art work securely screwed to the walls.

Thinking that someone "lifted" things like these mirrors would certainly give them a reason to do it!

 

Having hung art and such things professionally I can tell you that most commercial security locks/attachments can be defeated relatively easily.

 

Here's an Etsy seller's chart of silhouettes for personalizing their products:

Yep, just a "deterrent" for the most casual of thieves!
