Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure out what these are, or belonged to. The bottoms are not alike. They seem to be cut off of something maybe a flag pole, or fence post? There heavy for a small piece they measure about 5"x5" I have two of them. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I found this neat small silver plated (?) teapot marked Ever Silver Ware in a magaphone style border. I have searched high and low on the internet with nothing comparable. I think this might have been used in a hotel or railroad service? It has so much character! And by the way, does anyone know what the wooden round things between the metal handle and the pot is called? And why are the spout and handle different types of metal than the pot and lid. Is there a style name for the shape of the pot, handle and spout...I just have so many questions...any information is warmly welcome....Thanks!

I have inherited a silver coffee pot. There is no company name on it. Just a number,2249, engraved on the bottom that lightly engraved on the bottom. It was a wedding gift to my Great-great Grandmother in the 1850's. It may have been handed down from a relative. I'm trying to find out what it might be worth and what company made it.

For some reason, your site is not letting me post a pic no matter what I do. I'll try to post pic again later. The coffeepot has a floral pattern engraved on the sides, a hinged lid with an ornate top, and the handle and spout are ornate.

I'm trying to identify these cast iron items.

The handle says "Estate" and is heavy cast iron - about 10" long.

The two round grates are heavy cast iron. I'm guessing the one with the hinge pieces is from a wood stove.

The two more rectangular grates are chromed cast iron. They are hinged as well.

I'm trying to findout what these things are. They are made of cast iron and then chromed on the face. They are hinged - are they for a heating stove?
