Antique Birks Sterling Sugar Caster Shaker or Muffineer

I love a good find and here is a perfect piece that I spotted recently. It was the intricate design that caught my eye and the engraving on the middle. I thought it was something similar to a Thurible which is a metal incense burner suspended from chains which is used during worship services.  When I picked it up, it had good weight and then I saw the stamp on the bottom indicating Birks and Sterling along with the hallmarks. It looked as thought someone had scratched their initials on it as well. I was unsure what it was used for but it was unique and well worth adding to one of my #randomthingsicollect.  So this is an antique Sterling Silver sugar caster, also known as a sugar shaker or muffineer, often featuring intricate engraving with foliate motifs with a pierced cover for sprinkling sugar. Some examples date back to the Georgian or Victorian eras. Here is a picture with only the top was cleaned. I figured I'd better take some photos b4 I got it all cleaned up as I love ...

I picked this old  lithographed tin camping ground toy today. Check out the fantastic  lithographed graphics .  Its missing a few pieces but so well preserved for its age. I have never seen one like this. It has little sliders to move the items around. One of the sliders has damage. There may have been cars that wound up and went along the track which are not available.  This is the damaged slider This slider is functional. Where there are holes must have been accessories that sat in the holes like badminton net and on the other side umbrellas or signs.

Vintage lunch pail tins

 The green and pink pails where given to me by  my Mother in law Patsy a long time ago. Martha Stewart came out with sumilar ones. I use them to store my classic hand written recipes in the kitchen.  The other 2 are new purchases in the last 2 years. I store pens, pencils, 3M sticky notes and chalk for my chalkboard in them.  Only 1 is for sale and its the Eaton's one which I may just decide to keep unless it sells for the price I have it at. They remind me of my childhood. I am not sure when but we may have had something similar that we stored cookies in. I think it was the wafer type. The top one is called Grey Dunn and would have contained cookies. Available: https://posh.mk/XlJjoBY8A2b This is what the tin would have looked like when it was originally sold with coffee in it.
