General Auction including Antiques & Collectables, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
This collection comprises various primitive and mid-20th-century kitchen implements and household hardware. Included are an off-white enamel muffin tin and a large oval enamel basin, both displaying significant wear and oxidisation. A notable piece is a heavy cast iron base finished in chipped white paint, featuring a distinct red and blue Universal label. The lot also contains a mechanical kitchen tool with pale yellow paint, possibly a peeler or slicer, and a decorative brass circular object with an embossed sunburst motif. Additional items include various rusted cast iron components, copper and brass elements with heavy surface patina, and a long wooden-handled tool. Small metallic objects, including strainers and lids, are visible at the base of the grouping.
