Yes, almost full.

deb,
I saw an article on MSN about a house that had not been lived in for 40 years. Someone took it over and ;posted pictures of the things they found. It sort of reminded of your photos.

Maybe it was article on Deb's present home.

Call "Antiques Roadshow." It might be worth something.

You might be able to sell that on Etsy or eBay.

I'm trying to find out how much it's worth.

I put these on Marketplace for $30 each (or both for $50) and got a nibble. The person reasoned that if I sold both for $50, that meant one was $20 and the other $30 (although I don't know how they assigned those values - why not $25 and $25?). She then went on to say she would take drop-leaf for the $20. SHEEEESH -and I though I was a tight-wad!

Take the $20 and run. It is one more thing out of the house

Nice table, very similar to the one I bought with the surprise inside.

These look like antique household tools. The only ones I am fairly sure of are the meat fork (with built in ejector) and the carpet beater (with red handle).

The 28" tool at the bottom right looks like an antique rug beater, according to photos I looked up on google. I hope someone identifies the rest of them.

Interesting, now toss them

You caused me to spew my tea!

They look like medieval torture devices to me, Deb.

 

[debodun]

I like the meat fork with the ejector built in.

Probably very few things in this move have made their way to a trash can.

Two of the wire things look like gadgets to toast a slice of bread at a fireplace

They look very nasty and ready to cause some pain.
