Featured Treasures from my parents house

Brought home some treasures from my parents house. Just scratching the surface here, there's SO much to go through! LOL! Have also started doing some research and asking my mom a lot of questions. I might need a bigger house! First is just a really nice, all original, table lamp. This lamp was always lit up for Christmas dinner.




Then some original shades for angle lamps, which are just about my dad's favorites lamps. There's all kinds of them throughout the house, both original and electrified. With all kinds of shades and the glass "elbows" for them too.







My mom told me these are newel post light fixture finials. first 2 are the same size.





This one's a little bigger...



... and this one's pretty big



a couple cast iron dogs...

 

And a couple more! These are glass "balls" from weather vane or lightning rods. Tomorrow I bring home all the weather vanes!

 

And lets not forget a bronze elephant!

 

That's some pretty glass and I love the dogs!

 

wow..just wow
can't wait to see the weather vanes

 

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

 

HA HA....as the ANTIQUE PICKERS would say "You've got quite the Honey Hole!!!" The dogs are to 'die' for!!!!!

 

I was looking at some of your other posts.
Your parents bought some nice lamps. They had good taste.

Get as much info as you can from your mother. Be sure to write it down and tag it to the correct pieces. Or an actual notebook with pictures and notes (computers crash). Your memory may be good now, but in a few years you won't remember any of it or will have it all mixed up.

 

My grandparents labeled everything the bought (and kept journals too) and it has proved INVALUABLE over the years.

 

Your Grandfolks.....were ahead of their time.....& prepared for after it !!

 

There's a cobalt blue angle lamp shade on eBay right now going for over $700! My parents definitely don't have one of those! LOL! The little sitting dog is solid, not a bank. It's heavier than the larger dog!

 

And thanks everyone for the kind words and interest. Dean

 

The standing dog is a Boston Terrier, just in case you didn't know

 

Yes, thank you. Finding this out... and more!

 

He's a doorstop. Your parents have beautiful items. Thanks for sharing.

 

No one has made mention of that bronze elephant so I will , it is beautiful.
Is there a makers mark?

 

I've looked it over pretty good and haven't found anything. If I do find something, I'll share it.
