2:15; I didn't escape until after 4. Doc went to town. It's a teaching hospital, so I guess I get to play classroom example!

 

Suggestion..... Never take an appointment that isn't first or second of the day.
As the goofy twits arrive (example) for a strange mark on their arm and then proceed to tell the doc; "Oh, I actually broke my arm, punctured an ear drum...or two and maybe I have a splinter in my ass." then almost every clownfart after does the same thing...guess what happens to your 2:15 appointment.

 

Choir, preached to.(LOL) This is a university hospital and I had to take what I could get and get to. On the upside, I got to talk to a Syrian refugee family. My one or two words of Arabic weren't too useful, but it was cool anyway.

 

9 vials .............that's vial !!

That's like donating blood !
Did he offer you kilk and moockies !!!!

 

It wasn't much more than I lost when the cat nailed a spider vein.(LOL)

 

Those I Love Lucy shakers are pretty cool KOT.
More great finds Dave! Did I read it correctly? You were paid to dig this stuff out and you get to keep it?

 

I'm sure it is lots of work but it still sounds like fun - good luck on finding more goodies

 

Not the same Davey, but looks like a possibility of the same maker? Maybe Hutschenreuther?

Hair recepticle?

 

I would think some type of cooler with that ceramic liner? But not sure. This is sort of similar...

And here is the pic of that Hutschenreuther

 

Maybe for sugar cubes then? Bullion cubes?

 

Davey....in your experience ...do the homes you work on belong to folks who've passed away with no family or friends....no will ...and just a barrister closing out the estate with no knowledge or want....of the antiques, metals, cash, jewels, or other valubles on and in the property.???

Just curious?

Do you bid on the work...or do they come to you ?

Komo

 

Where did the "carry handle" attach? I'm thinking for butter or jam as part of a larger set?

 

In his 3rd picture you can see 2 holes near the top.

 

Gotcha. I do need new glasses, but I also need to look more closely.

 

It's for clotted cream Davey. They were sometimes used to transport it in as well.

As an aside, I'm boggled that families don't have at least a cursory root through houses.

 

I agree , to both..........
