  1. A novelty mechanical pencil. Extra leads stored in the foot compartment; lead rod screwed into the metal doo-hickey; head protects lead; her ''hair'' clipped the pencil to your pocket.
  2. SOLVED on facebook by Gayathri Iyer: I've seen a lot of these growing up in India and my parents have similar cases for ornamental purposes--usually made out of brass or bronze. Just a box or "dabba" ...
  3. Original post says it is about 4''x6'' and 11'' tall, so I'm going with flatware caddy. Here's the same shape - knives on the one side, hanging forks and spoons on the other -- http://dyn-images2.hsni...

  9. Antique fire grenades that look more like fancy bottles are more rare, and extremely collectible. Most were made after 1870 and until about 1910. The Red Comet type were made later, and are actual...

  23. There's one that the ebay seller calls a trench art grinder -- but after reading Brenda's comment, I think it looks more Middle Eastern, especially when you look at google images for "middle eastern...
