latest antique "mystery of the week"...

Soooo...here is our latest antique "Mystery of the Week," which is a heavy, ornate, intricately machined brass...something-or-other. It is around 7 1/2" to 8" tall and 3 1/2" wide at the base and has no maker's marks of any kind present. It gives the appearance of being a simple late 19th Century/early 20th Century desk paperweight, but the careful machining and detailed manufacturing makes one wonder:  Is it something else?

Any guesses from the troops? There are more pictures below:

THANKS For a great father's day weekend sale!

We had a great sale at The Bennett House over the Father's Day Weekend -- our best numbers ever. We appreciated meeting all of our new friends and hope our customers who acquired some SENSATIONAL pieces enjoy them as much as we have. It was wonderful having my nephews, my sister and my Dad present as we chatted with our customers, told antique "war stories" and shared fellowship among folks who live for the enjoyment of all the old things with magnificent tales to tell.

Remember, we have no "set" hours -- we open when we want to, close when we gotta but are usually around. If you want to see any of the items on this website personally, zip me an email or give me a call and I will accommodate your schedule.

ALSO:  If you are one of our customers, please spread the word about our joint if you had a good time or feel our unusual inventory of quality antiques is worth a mention to your circle of friends!

Latest antique "MYSTERY of the week"...

So...our latest Mystery of the Week deals with a heavy piece of solid cylindrical metal found at the relatively shallow depth of 5 inches or so while relic hunting on the remainder of the Bennett Farms property which surrounds The Bennett House. Usually we can identify the coins or bullets or militaria or farm implements found while metal detecting.

But...this salt shaker-sized thingamajig?

Any ideas? Post your suggestions to this Comment Page!
