A wonderful collection from someone with a keen eye for quality.  One of the most recognizable advertising devices of the past century - "Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco" - on a 5-foot-tall thermometer.   It no longer tells the temperature, but it's in remarkable condition.  

Roseville Pottery vases in Freesia and Zephyr Lily plus Fenton and art glass paperweights in a variety of shapes and designs.

Limited edition, hand painted cartoon cels featuring Looney Tunes characters and more....

and something quite unusual - an ambulance box from the First World War.   

Enjoy!
