Sure'd like your opinions
Tell me what you think, y'all.

Some nice stuff, like the Bra...
Some nice stuff, like the Braun fan and that metal sculpture rings loud bells in my head, reminds me of this mesh box I've seen a picture of which is lined with all these sharp protrusions on the inside, a female sculptor I think, quite well known.
Stuff like that of mine was all piling up on the shelves so much that I've packed it all away, I just don't know what to do with it all.

The cruets and the sprinkler
I sure get looks when I run that crazy sputnik sprinkler in my front yard! It turns slowly and really works well.
Those cruets are the second set I've ever seen. A friend of mine had a pair.
There's no marks on them at all, but they were very well made, right down to the glued-in cork underneath the ceramic hats!
By the way, the nose is the handle and front is porus while the smooth seafoam green color is shiny.
A real quality set...which to heck I knew more about 'em.

The cruets are GLIDDEN...

Glidden
Never heard of Glidden....can you tell me more?

Its actually not porous the term is bisque,meaning unglazed.Glidden Parker: you can dogplie.com the name, it will give you info.I had a single cruet,can not recall if he was a frowny/vinegar or a smiley/oil...

dogpile.com
Thanks for your help...never heard of dogpile.com before.
It's got the same searching that Yahoo or Google has.

Nice batch
Batch number two strikes me the most. I have assumptions, but how does the Braun fan work. Sprinkler is bodacious! The silver part (top) rotates and sprinkles right? Sculpture is uplifting. Reminds me of a 5 flower floral sculpture my mother has.

Barry it looks like you ...
Barry it looks like you have bought out a
S&H green stamp store from the 50's and 60's
I remember going with my mom to those stores and they always had that kinda stuff for 10 thousand books, you get anything and it looks like you got it, now just go and find the S&H green stamp sign and hang it on your lawn

CORRECTION
They are Bennington Pottery/ David Gill probably the designer...yikes, my mind transposes!

Sprinkler is bodacious! The silver part (top) rotates and sprinkles right? Sculpture is uplifting
Yup. You set the dial (distance) and the single water spray, which shoots out on a angle, adjusts the distance and aids in the silver part turning. The further the stray is, the slower it turns.
It's by far the most high styled 1950's design sprinkler I've ever seen.
Made by the Gates Company.

azurechicken, you're right
just found a pix of the cruet at modish.net and they list it as a Gill from Bennington.
They have a cork in the top, missing its hat.
Mine must be uncommon.
