Silver plated perfume bottle?? and a brass eagle.

[prolab69]

Found these at one of my cellar hole sites. The bottle rang in like a deep coin while the eagle came in as high tone overload. The only markings on the bottle are 502 & Sterling. The eagle is about 6in. the bottle 3in.
Enjoy,

Congrats on some unusual finds

Nice finds! Thanks for sharing...

Cool, maybe a salt shaker

Beautiful bottle. Eagle is a soap dish maybe?

The eagle is probably too heavy for a soap dish, you would not want to place this near porcelain. the salt shaker answer for the bottle was good, thanks. it is about that size.

I'm guessing that the eagle is a spoon rest. Trivet ? And the bottle could be seasoning. Maybe someone did some outdoor cooking?

Not plated but solid silver -early 1900s?

Fantastic finds, Eagle plate may be an ashtray. The silver wrapped bottle is a stunner. Congrats. Sub

Congratz! That bottle is beautiful!

The eagle is a nice find, but that bottle is fascinating. I've never seen one laced in silver like that. Great finds!

The one looks like a salt shaker to me and the other looks like a spoon rest.

Both are pretty cool finds, but what I like most about such finds is that you can still use them in your house. Yeah I know it sounds cheap but I do not care. I would be the guy at the local Walmart looking for a spice cap that would fit that new/old bottle. The Spoon rest is not really my taste, but someone sure would use it.

Cool finds.

The silver inlaid bottle is a stunner of a find. Certainly would have made my day. The brass eagle in interesting as well. I bet that gave a killer signal.

I say salt or pepper shaker as well. It likely had an ornate silver top to it.

 

[scruggs]

Gorgeous finds you made!

 

[burglarifyoulike]

That is such an amazing find! I have never seen anything like that bottle! What a fascinating piece! Way to go!! Display it for all to see!

 

[prolab69]

thanks so much for all the great replies, the bottle is going in my cabinet as a display piece with some other favorites, i guess i need to revisit the site for the cap, and maybe solve the mystery on its use.

 

[Bass]

Wow, the shaker is a great find. That little piece wasn't cheap when it was purchased.

Nice finds. I bet the top to the shaker was sterling as well. Hope you find it! [emoji3]

I wouldn't kill yourself looking for the cap. Lots of times the little cap was lost and then the shaker was tossed.
