History:
I really do not know anything about this hutch. It was left behind in a house I bought about 20 years ago.
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
All the detail seems to be hand carved. There are no markings or tags to tell the manufacturer. Just curious if anyone would know a little more information about this item. Someone had told me they believe it to be from the 1930's or early 40's. The back was just a piece of some kind of cheap board which I replaced as it was damaged. I believe the original color was whitish with gold trim painted in the groves. It would also be nice to know what it is worth.
Thank you.
Cindy

This appears to be a bottle of perfume. There are a few drops left in it. It is a tiny 1" high. The bottle is 10 sided beveled glass. Silver metal screw on lid has a ship etched on it. There are letters on the bottom of the bottle that appear to be in a perfect circle, but i can only make out the last 5 letters - "alion"

History:
our property has an old "beer joint" building on it and they dumped their empties in the woods. I picked around and dug up some really interesting glass pieces
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
The bottle is made of green glass with a red and white label painted on the front.It includes the 7Up logo with a lady in a swimsuit to the left of the logo, holding her arms up with bubbles. There's also a 7up logo on the front and back neck of the bottle in white with bubbles. On the back, the bottle says, "The "Fresh UP" drink" and "You like it, it likes you". There's an address the says, C. Leary & Co. Newburyport, MASS. On the bottom of the bottle there's a G in a square with a 700 and a 22. I'm just curious as to when it was made and how much, if anything, it's worth.

Size and dimensions of this item:
2 1/8" height, 2/14" wide
History:
Bought at a second hand store for $0.99
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
Appears to be souvenir glass from the 1909 Minnesota State Fair. It looks to me to be etched writing. The writing says "T.V. Lichtstinn" and "Minnesota Stae Fair 1909".
I'd be interested in knowing if this is signed by the painter or perhaps it's the name of the person who bought it?
Also, is the ruby red a paint? It appears to be lightly scratched off a couple of places.
I'd even be interested in a little history of this type of souvenir - was it common in the early 1900's?
