A rare item is the child's sewing machine

     Souvenirs of foreign travels include two machetes in leather sheaths, one ornamented with colored leather cord, a Russian khokhlomaware hand-painted and lidded barrel-shape box, Swedish hand-painted red wood horse, Nippon plates.  A RARE item is the round lidded casserole, the lid displaying a ship's anchor -- possibly a ship's tureen, part of a once larger dinner service made expressly for the ship's officers.  Another is the antique South American inclined grinding platform accompanied by grating stone.  Memories of the past will be the trolls.  An antique item is the pair of opera glasses with mother-of-pearl panels.  Another antique collector's item for men is the double screw wood plane with molding blade.  It adjusts for planing distance from a straight edge.  You will find 3 wood duck decoys that we have put inside the hand-painted antique doll bed next to the table with the marionettes and dolls.
