Antique cast iron frog doorstop!



This antique cast iron frog door stop is in very good condition despite it's age!  The gold on the underneath side is still quite visible. This is a very heavy, cast iron figure, made in the early 1900's, possibly by the Hubley Company. Overall, this figure is in very good shape and would be a wonderful addition to your home, cabin or outdoors display room!  Please email info@buybarterorsell.com or mskatie1888@gmail.com for more information.  Priced at: $115.00

Antique Haynes Salt 7 piece Pitcher and Bowl Set!


This beautiful 7 piece Haynes Salt set is absolutely gorgeous!  It was made by the D.F. Haynes and Son Company.  David Haynes was an artist!  He established his company in 1881, purchasing the Chesapeake Pottery Company at that time,  with the purpose of elevating the quality of products available to the middle class rather than to craft pieces available only to the rich as was the case with European Pottery. Unfortunately, David Haynes was not a good businessman which ultimately led to his financial failure in 1914.  David Haynes began using the marking on this set in 1900.
This set is available for sale for $1500.00.  I have researched this set for a long time and have never found another with the pink design and gold markings! This set was purchased at the Estate auction of Mae Blue, Star City, Indiana in the 1960's.  Email us at info@buybarterorsell.com  or mskatie1888@gmail.com if interested or if questions.
