What fun things to have! I have seen the opium items in movies but never knew anyone who had found them!
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs- Tete
Now those are some different antiques...thank your aunt for sharing them!
I bet all those treasures have great stories that go along with them. I hope you encourage your aunt to pass them along to you.
Wah so many nice treasures.
Old is gold, I would say! Well, thats what they are worth nowadays if you sell them..but I guess those old treasures are a reminder of sweet memories or days gone by for the keeper. I have a few too kept for the memories of my mom..
Very cool!
I love the pewter cannister best!
You are lucky to get to take pictures of such unique items!

They are all unique!
We have an old black iron simular to your aunt that also belonged to my husband's aunt. They are probably from the same era.
I have seen the carcoal iron too in my parents house!
Your aunt really have some good old collection!
These antiques are really a treasure to have. Very precious indeed.
