Oval Engraved Fire Gilt Snuff Box #4110
Here is a very nice fire gilt brass snuff box, that probably dates to the last quarter of the 18th century, and is probably French. It has engraved borders, with a finely executed enameled porcelain plaque on top with cherubs in a classical scene. It is in good overall condition, with some wear to the gilding coming through in a few high spots and along the edges. The domed enamel has some wear to the surface, but no chips or cracks. It is a heavily built box with a complex 7 barrel hinge. It is 3 5/16" long, 1 5/8" front to back, and 1 1/4" high.
It is priced at $445

17th Century Small Brass Pot with a Wrought Iron Bail Handle #1413
This is an interesting little pot, made of rather heavy weight sheet brass, that probably dates from the last 1/2 of the 17th century. I suspect that it may be French, and made for the North American Indian trade. It retains it's original finely twisted bail handle, and has relatively fancy gussets for the handle to attach to the body. It is in really amazing condition for this type of pot to survive in, with no dents, holes, or cracks to be encountered anywhere on the piece. It is 4" in diameter, and 2 1/4" high.
This rare little survivor is priced at $895

British Army "Brighton's Buns With Broad Arrow Mark #5854
Here is a pair of heavy cast brass candlesticks, in a form that is referred to as "Brighton's Buns". They have historically been associated with officers in the British Army, from the early 18th century, up into the early 19th century. This particular pair is very rare, in that they are marked with the Broad Arrow, which stands for Crown ownership. This pair probably date to around 1780, and are 4 3/4" in diameter, and 3" tall when assembled.
