Lunch break......Op Shop...........That pretty much sums up the second half of my lunch breaks at work! Every day!!! Today l had a lovely time coming away with a bag full of $1 and $2 finds that l just love!!
Two rather gorgeous and unusual oil burners! They are very solid and the brass holders unscrew into three pieces with weighted bases. l need to get some oil now and a couple of wicks to drop down into the burners. l don't know just how long they will last before l knock one of the glass globes off and break it! I've already dropped one already!
An eclectic and unusual little mix!
And a final word on the mystery of the silver box from the Tip Shop? Turns out it is a cigarette box and not a card box or a chafing tray as first thought!! This brilliant detective work was performed by Father who appears to be the overall winner in the race to find it's origins!
This almost identical one (apart from the fact that this one has no legs) is even made by the same people!
"Vintage engraved silver cigarette box with lid and wooden handle. Printed on the underside is: "P.H.V & Co E.P.N.S, Made in England"
Bad luck Richard!! Good night!
