I’m always attracted to old magnifying glasses for the mysterious feel they bring to a display space. Especially a “cabinet of curiosities” theme.

This one was likely made in the 40’s, but it may be older. It’s made of steel with a wooden handle and a heavy thick glass lens.

The glass has some tiny scratches, and there’s some wear to the metal and wood.

Measures just under 10 5/8” long, 5” across the lens with a 5/8” rim.

These cool old bottles were once part of a large collection used in a laboratory back in the 1930’s. They have painted labels, ground glass stoppers and numbers etched into the glass.

Each measures approximately 6 7/8” tall and 2 1/2” wide.

They have very minor clouding, and imperfections in the glass. No chips or cracks.

I adore antique stencils, especially the ones made of zinc, as these are. They’re French made, probably from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. They have an elegant font, in a nice size- 3 1/2” tall and 2 3/4” wide. Each letter is 2” tall. Marked 50 mm.

They have a lot of oxidation, and some paint remnants, otherwise they’re in great shape.

Eight tiny hand carved bone dice from the 1800’s. I love how the dots aren’t set perfectly in place- each one has it’s own character. Each is unique, and so beautiful.

They range in size from 7/16” to 9/16”.

They have stains, scratches and 3 have little x’s carved into them.

Fossils are just fascinating to me. To think these ferns lived 500 million years ago just blows my mind! This is a very nice piece with dense ferns on both sides of the slate. It’s a large size: about 6 3/4” wide and 5 3/4” tall.

This wonderful old advertising compass is made of brass with a glass cover, and is a petite size, just 7/8” across, and just over 3/8” thick. It’s not much bigger than a penny! It has a beautiful little arrow, I love how the tail is so much larger than the tip.

The paper dial is stained, and the arrow tends to dip down, so it doesn’t always work properly, but it’s still a wonderful collectible!
