That high carbon butcher knife my top pick ,it hints of forgecraft brand but regardless it's a keeper. All neat stuff though!

 

[JVA5th]

Sadly don't intend to sell anything wanted to clean it up and stop some of the more greedy family members from throwing it away or selling it wanted to preserve some of it I appreciate things such as these and I know a few of the things have been in my family for some time was more of a rescue mission for me lol

 

[JVA5th]

And thanks for the info guys I always appreciate it

those old vitamin bottles are neat - Im a big fan of old-ish packaging/products - have you been running into any more cans-jars-household cleaners-bathroom stuff-old food-etc down there?

 

[JVA5th]

Some things mostly old dolls and toys dont know much about them though

 

[JVA5th]

There's are a few jars from the early 60s with the lids and stuff still

Close ups of butcher knife

Antrim N.H. was company location. Company started cutlery in 1872 lasted till 1983 when sold to Chicago cutlery.This one maybe mid nineteen hundreds. Around 10 inches overall, less than eleven so a ten inch butcher.
Similar knives sell from a few dollars on up to sixty dollars with the mid range about tops on average depending on condition and of course buyer.
Yours would be great in the kitchen or camping/woodcraft, and of course butchering. That blade width tips steaks when slicing them better than a narrow one, stiffness rather than more pliable boning knife. High carbon can be touched up easy when it starts to dull. Just needs to be cleaned after use to avoid stains and not left setting dirty.
Hot water drys fast and handle just needs a quick wipe with normal wash formula,no soaking.
A quality knife. A keeper for the right user(s).

Post some pics of the old dolls and toys, they might have some value if they are vintage like the other stuff.

 

[JVA5th]

I think most of it is from the 60s some maybe a little older I don't think anything valuable but then again I don't know much about the market for that stuff but I'll post some of the more interesting things when I go to do some more cleaning in the celler

 

[bdsawyer]

You would be surprised at what they can be worth, hopefully you have something unique

Those pressure cookers are heavy aluminum. Any I come across I sell for scrap.

 

[JVA5th]

Toys found so far that are a bit interesting

 

[JVA5th]

Found a bunch more willing to sell the toys if anyone has info and is interested in any

Nice finds! The enjoyment is in the find.

 

[JVA5th]

And in this case moved out about 100s of canning jars
