This appears to be a pre 1950’s Bostrom-Brady #2 Transit Level. Known as a Builder or Farm Level. Some parts brass, other parts copper or possible red brass. Manufactured by Bostrom-Brady Mfg. Co. Atlantic, GA U.S.A
We believe it is in in its original wood box. The box is vintage and original looking. Corners of the box are joined using finger joints. Hinge pins appear to be a nail with tail bent over and trimmed off.
The box has a wood padded cradle to hold the transit level, as well as a place to secure a Plumb Bob. The Plumb Bob is missing. There is no paper instruction sheet, and any Bostrom-Brady label or tag that may have existed is not on or in the box.
There is a unique label attached to the inside of the hinged lid. It adds some dated material to the piece. Making it somewhat unique, more desirable, and perhaps adding some additional value to a collector.
If you owned this piece what would you do with it?
This wood looking composite, combo bust torso. It is a great example of the odd and the curious. Yet at such a simplistic level.
Doubtful this is even vintage let alone antique? We can’t find anything on this by doing any type of search. So if you know this is a mass produced piece of cheap home decor. Please chime in on the comments.
It is sure to please someone irregardless. It is somewhat of an eye catcher and makes a person look. Just to try and figure out what it is.
This piece measures 15 inches high by about 7 across.
If nothing else it would be a great display prop! For use in a retail case as a display. Or at home as a decor item or functional necklace display holder.
Shown here is an intricately carved wood dragon. This is a beautiful example of Asian art. The workmanship was done on a large diameter section of Bamboo.
The carving measures 26.5 inches long and approximately 5 to 5.5 inches in diameter. Sitting on the half slice of bamboo for a base stand, the top edge of horizontal piece is 10 inches off the table.
Purchases such as this are difficult to find for retail in specialty shops or Antique Shops. Finding one for retail requires exploring many upper scale Estate Sales, or finding a motivated collector or decorator willing to part with such and unusual piece of art.

POTTERY PROJECTS RE-PURPOSING
Some of our re-purposing projects are more personal in nature. We like using odd pottery found at garage sales for $5 or less. These become a focal point in our outdoor garden. Many of these pots were not originally made with a drain hole for use with live plants. We use a modification.
Shown here are two different finds, and re-purposing projects. Both were created to enhance the Asian theme we have, in a section of our outdoor garden.
Both pottery pieces had a Dragon theme. We wet drilled a 1 inch drain hole through the pot using a diamond hole saw.
We have found several versions of small growing, or low growing evergreens to serve as your live tree. You will have to use something that is adaptable to your local climate. You might have to cruise your local nursery? Be aware some species are not available all times of the year. Nor in all locations.
Our favorite is the “Japanese Garden Juniper”. It can normally be found for about $5 in the small 1 gallon containers at local nurseries. The short clumps of needles make it ideal for producing the Bonsai Tree effect.
We have found it best to transplant your live tree and let it establish itself before you start shaping and trimming to get the visual effect you are after. Bare copper #14 or #14 wire can be used to train or bend the branches (or roots) to obtain your desired look. Simply wrap the wire around, bend, and shape as needed.
The is a beautiful high quality piece of art. Painted on a slab of natural stone we are fairly certain is brown and cream colored Onyx. The painted slab then fits into a grooved base of the same natural material.
Measures approximately 8 inches by 8 inches when set up.
This one is going in the shop today (9/24/2017)

This is a carved wood religious figure. Book or Bible held in crook of the right arm, while clutching a pendant with the right hand. Perhaps a Sacred Heart Pendant? Possible resemblance to Jesus Christ, St Peter, St Francis, St Francis Xavier?
Appearance vintage. Weathered paint/patina with some cracking in the wood due to the material drying out. Approximately 17 inches tall
Our appraisal range for this type of statue would range $2000-$4000 retail. Based on the fact it seems to be fairly old. Perhaps as old as the 1700’s? An oddity, that will not easily be found. Worth is subjective, covering a range that is dependent on condition, availability, current market trends, and buyer motivation.
The base (the underside) of this particular piece shows signs of minor decay or insect damage. Thus lowering its value somewhat. It is still a prime collectable piece.
