Vintage Stainless Steel Expanding Spatula.  It is marked Stainless Steel, Made in USA.  The blades expand and contract the way they're suppose to with the thumb lever.  The blades have lots if tiny scratches from being used and scrubbed.  The wooden handle is bare wood and has some cracks but the handle isn't in any danger of coming apart and is tight to the rest.

Clauss Straight Razor in the Box. The box is cardboard covered with a ??? covering, it has many bumps and bruises, but it is still intact. The razor itself has a dark plastic/bakelite handle. I tested the handle by the usual methods, brown residue on cloth when using Windex, and burnt smell when you rub it with your finger. I am not a bakelite expert so I can't say for sure. There is some corrosion and flaking of the plating on the blade as well as some dings and scratches from usage.

This pattern has been long discontinued by Ekco Home Products, even the replacement company has only 2 sugar spoons in this pattern @ $8.99 each. I bought a whole set in 1980. If your Bellissima set is missing any pieces, don't miss this opportunity to replace the missing/damaged ones.  

Hallmarked Tea Strainer.  I do not know if it is solid or plate, it is dated 1941 with what looks like English Hallmarks.  The strainer and the bottom of the plate have the same marks, except the date is on the strainer only.  The marks are as follows: P in a circle, L in a shield, EE in a rectangle with the corners cut off, T in a diamond.  Both pieces have quite a bit of light surface scratches from a lot of usage and a little tarnish.  Many strainers were very ornate, but this one is rather plain as you would expect a war time piece to be.  Never know it may have been part of a Brits mess kit. 

Singer Buttonholer 1960's part #489500.  It fits many models of Singer Sewing Machine so make sure of your application before ordering.  It is complete with the cover plate that attaches to the machine and four hole templates, 5/16", 5/8", 13/16", 1 1/16".  It does not have the paper manual.  The plastic case is not broken, but does have minor bumps and bruises.  The attachment itself is not rusted, bent or broken, just a few minor dinks in the plastic from use.  The unit is untested as I have no machine to test it on (returnable if non-functioning).

All metal deep fry basket.  I can't find any real damage other than some bumps and bruises from being used. I don't know if this belongs to a free standing deep fryer or not, but the basket is 7½" across at the top and 4 3/4" deep.  It is otherwise un-marked with a manufacturer's name.

Taplin Mfg Green Handle Can Opener.  The opener has quite a bit of rust on the metal parts.  The knob turns easily, but I haven't tested it.  The handle has a few digs, and stains on the paint.  Super kitchen collectible!

Vintage Metal Pickle Fork.  There are NO manufacturer's marks or hall marks at all.  It looks as though it were hand made due to the unevenness of the metal.  There are dings, scratches and some tarnish.  The tarnish looks similar to silver tarnish, but I really don't know what it's made of.  I don't have a metals tester.

Old red handle kitchen chopper.  The blades are ok, the handle is cracked and missing the metal retainer ring where the blade inserts.  Great old gadget decoration for the kitchen.
