Found it about a Year ago about a Foot down. Pretty sure its silver plate. but not 100%... Its about 8 Inches wide and 9 1/2 inches Tall. Anyone have a Idea? At the top they are Horses....

Looks like a 1920s VERY rich family's dustpan. Not the Rockefeller family's, or it would have been Sterling instead of silverplate.

Crumb dustpan. Nice.

That's what I was thinking too. Silver or not it is still a cool find!

Crumb pan is correct. Elegant victorian homes would use this with a matching brush to sweep the table cloth during a fine dinner.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, and YES it is a Crumb Pan.

I wanted to say it was a metal fan used by Sally Rand, but opted not to do so!


Super neat find Breezie

Did they really give the crumbs to the slaves? I would imagine nothing was wasted.
