I am impressed by the bronze Dobie. How large is it and does it have any makers marks?

No markings, and I put a quarter on it to show size. Also, look at the close up's. I notice the bronze/brass color looks like its chipping. Could this be brass/bronze plated? If so, what kind of metal could it be? Thanks,

Nice buys. Thanks for sharing...

Love the talcum jar. That is a glass jar with a paper label, right? The apple bitters bottle is, most likely, a reproduction made by Wheaton. Look at the bottom to find out. If it isn't Wheaton, you have a real find on your hands.

Really cool stuff you found there. I'd post the artillery shell up in "what is It" forum. Be very interesting to find out what that is ?

It's a wheaton

The dog is probably bronzed spelter metal - essentially bronze plated. Doesn't mean it's not valuable, just need to associate it with an particular maker. Seems to be Art Deco era, which helps its case.

I would personally avoid the Wheaton stuff and the individually priced common costume jewelry. Otherwise, very nice finds!
