Vintage Cast Iron and Brass Desk Accessories
Three nice vintage, I would guess early to mid-1900s, desk accessories. The first is a cast iron letter or bill holder, which 3½ inches across and 3 inches high. It has the name T Star on the side. The second is a slot-machine pencil sharpener. You can pull down the handle and the pictures spin (I don't think you will ever win, since the pictures don't spin independently) and it is marked Made in Hong Kong. The pencil sharpener works and it is about 2½ inches high and 2 inches across. The last piece is a pen holder with a small dog (may be cast-ion) on a brass platform with a fixed brass penholder. This piece is about 2 inches high and 2½ inches across. The brass has a nice patina on it, but I can find no markings. These pieces would make a nice addition to the accessories on an antique-style desk.
Please contact me if you have any questions, would like additional photographs, etc. Thanks for looking at my auction.
