Vintage Thingies Thursday!

I decided it was about time I participated in

Vintage Thingies Thursday.

It has been awhile and I finally got organized enough

to take a few pictures of my Vintage Thingies.

But first I want to thank Suzanne at

Colorado Lady for hosting today.

And every week for that matter!

She keeps going while the rest of us jump in and out.

Ready?

Here goes!

Some of you may have seen this picture on my

Blue Monday post.

I talked about the BLUE thingies on that post.

But I did not talk about the Vintage Thingies.

So I will do that here.

One of the comments I got was about the lace doilies.

Those doilies are indeed Vintage.

I think it was my mother-in-law who made them.

Here is a close up of the little pitcher thingie.

I don't know how old this is.

But it was in my MIL's things when we were helping

her pack up to move.

The handle looks like it was made from a nail.

I am not really sure what it was used for.

Maybe nothing.

Could have been just for looks.

The word there on the side is "Frostburg".

Hubby thinks it may have come from Germany.

Which means it may have belonged to his paternal grandmother

who came from Germany.

Anyway, I have always loved it.

If anyone has any idea what it is,

be sure to let me know.

Thanks!

Now, what else was on that shelf.

Oh yeah, the contraption on the right.

A grinder of some sort.

Here is a close up of the side.

It says "Climax" along the top edge there.

Here, I'll move the handle.

That part says,

Pat. Pend.

Hamilton, Ohio

That pretty much tells us where it is from.

I found it at an Antique shop last year.

We need to go for a drive and visit that shop again.

Here is a side view of the glass thingie that goes in the top.

See how it is rounded on the bottom to match

the curve of the inside of the grinder.

Hey, there is a hole in the top!

You know, I never noticed that until I took this picture.

Silly me!

Okay Helmi, stop laughing at me!

I am guessing

the hole is for adding

either hot

or cold water depending

on what you are grinding.

Did I just make a rhyme there?

It is time to come to a stop here.

So Happy Thursday Everyone!!

PS Sally, if you are reading this...yes I have changed the date
