A vintage First Australian Imperial Force (AIF) privately purchased World War I era pin in 9K yellow gold.

This is a beautiful ladle measuring 12 3/4" in length. The bowl is in the shape of a large shell, and there is a lion engraved on the handle. There are four marks on the back of the handle which I tried to photograph. The first long one I can't make out, the second is the head of a lion with a crown on his head, the third is a full lion, and the last has initials which I believe to be HB. I believe the ladle to be Georgian.

The condition of this Tiffany Studios double inkwell is nearly pristine. The inkwell has a gold dore finish and contains two colorless pressed glass inserts. The bottom is stamped “Tiffany Studios New York 1641.” The inkwell is 5 1/4 inches long. I know most people no longer use a nib (or dip) pen but this would make a great item for a calligraphy hobbyist or perhaps the inserts could be used to hold paperclips on your desk.

The outer edge is finished with a pair of cast handles in a pattern similar to Georg Jensen's "Blossom" design. Little is known about Sorensen other than that he worked in the Philadelphia area around 1900 and his pieces may have been retailed at Tiffany & Co...
