This segmented walking stick apears to be made of some sort of bone and hardwood. Has the distinct black pits indicating that it's bone, not ivory, but I'm not sure what kind. Detailed figural scrimshaw with Chinese characters, brush strokes evident in the colored detail. Wood is dark, fine-grained with slightly lighter intrusions (looks like ebony). 9 segments in all, some are somewhat loose. The second segment from the bottom has a chip that was reglued in place at some point. Top wooden ferrule has a crack through it. 34 inches tall.
This large antique loom came from Connecticut and ended up on Beal's Island when we acquired it. Estimated age in the 1700's. Due to this item's enormous size, the buyer is solely responsible for its shipping (whether through arranged freight service or pickup).
1870s High-Wheel Bicycle Reproduction Sculpture by the "Fuselage Artist"
This large artistic reproduction of an 1870's style "high wheel" bicycle was created in the 40's by a fuselage artist who created sculptures from recycled metal. While nonfunctional, the wheels do roll, the pedals turn, and it's an interesting visual piece. Due to this item's enormous size, the buyer is solely responsible for its shipping (whether through arranged freight service or pickup).
This beautifully crafted ancient Asian artifact measures approximately 4" deep x 18" wide x 69" tall. Appears to be a wall or door guardian.
This artifact has not been identified definitively. It most recently came from China but could've migrated there from any surrounding region (most likely India) as the symbols present in this carving are fairly ubiquitous throughout Asian cultures with exposure to Hindu beliefs. I'd guess door since it appears to depict some sort of Asura (Ashura) guardian spirit with lotus flowers in three of its palms and what appears to be a primitive Vajra in the other. If it's an Asura, it's probably closer to Indian origin than Eastern Chinese or Japanese as it only has one head. Appears to have a dragon crowning it or overlooking it, unknown symbols floating on each side of its head. Some of the paint is still present and it looks like it's been repainted multiple times throughout its lifetime (one layer could've been primer? not sure).

Primitive Pestle (for mortar), Hardwood & Green Pigment
This early primitive pestle appears to be handworked (the rings are too rough to be lathe work). Some kind of dark, dense hardwood with a faint green, coppery pigment on it. 9 3/8" long overall.
These little mesoamerican curios are distinctive of the "sonrietas," or "smiling faces," found in the regions around Mexico and central America where the Veracruz culture flourished for hundreds of years. Being sold individually for $300 each--please specify which you wish to buy.
