The script on that tang appears, to me at least, to say "Bunta" (with the tops for the "B" and "t" cut off). Not that I know who or what Bunta is.![]()
Question is "What is not really much, barely any" and what would be a lot ??
Nice treasures Mr. Jack !! :thumbup::thumbup:![]()
There is something ebony to the right of the hammer in pic 1 ??
Very interesting haul Jack. Thanks for sharing!
That's a vintage table fork next to a cobbler's glazing iron my friend :thumbup:
I see it plain as day ....now...lol! It was lateand the tines were hiding. Thank you my friend! I think this is one of your best hauls actually. That is quite the piece of ivory in the brush on the upper right

That's an amazing great lot of interesting things!!!
Wow Jack!!
I just LOVE those old Walking sticks- the Wooden one especially!!
I found a very very old Japanese walking stick with amazing and high end Carving with extremely nice Kanji some time ago....
That Butler Big Big Sheepsfoot is quite a find on its own my friend- and who better to have this beautiful example - but the Guardian of the Sheepsfoot himself!!
What you say about the Cigarette Roller I agree- how cool is that!!! never seen one so amazing as that example.
I must admit I do love those older Kissing Kranes- before the company changed hands- they were such good quality knives- as you say Jack as most of the German Knives- nice pick-up, I too could not walk past ANY of what you have purchased my friend!
Always great seeing your Table Jack- thank you once again my friend:thumbup:
