$245 USDAntique Figural Tape Measure – Rare Whiskey Flask, c. 1900-1920
Antiques:Sewing
One of a series of whimsical metal tape measures made in the first quarter of the 20th century, this hard-to-find measure is a Whiskey flask with the words “I Made Kentuckey Famous – “in a Measure” ”.

$55 USDEarly 20th century Knitting Pins in Original Cases
Collectibles:Sewing
I rarely come across these – they just seem to disappear over time.

There's a set of two, both marked as size 14 although each case holds a different size of needle. One is a larger size of four needles, while the other is a finer size of five needles. Nowadays, we would refer to these knitting needles as double pointed needles, but ...

$275 USDOld Wood Bowl with Original Oil Painting of Fly Fisherman
