Post by: antiquerose123 on April 30, 2012, 04:45:50 PM

Hi there:

Try this Paint program again here.....yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!

Cube ashtray, glass with cut lens in it.  Has a label on it but not sure IF it is KT or KJ on it as not finding anything much.  Any ideas on maker and the year?  Hope the pics work this time!!

Smart set, Rose!

I've been meaning to ask  ::) - is that a mobile 'phone or a tv remote - and how big is it? ;)

Thanks Sue....

It is a cordless Phone and the size of it is about 6 inches long.  I use it as kinda standard size as some people use a dollar bill too which around here is about 6 inches long.  SO if you ever need a quick ruler - a dollar bill works for checking the size.  I read that in an Antique Book about using a bill for a quick size relationship when on the road at sales.  So since the phone is about 6 inches too -- I use that too.

Might this be Czech?  Know the label?  Thanks for the Speedy response....maybe the 60's or the 70's era is my guess, but just a guess.....lol

Yeah, I kinda like it too.....  :)

I know that my hand-span is exactly 7.5".
I can work out most things I encounter just using my hands!
I'm such a technoignoramus that I didn't know a mobile and a cordless are not the same thing - I take it that's what you're saying?

Telephones should be large black bakelite lumps with round metal dials and braided cables, sitting on a table in the hall, plugged into the wall (and whatever electrickal doo-dahs lie behind it).  8)

I don't know the label, I would think '70s and I'd think Czech would be my first instinct.
Lovely to have the whole set!
Does the lighter work?

lol   ;D 



The lighter might just need some fluid and a flint........as have not tried.  The motion of it appears to work, so time will tell when I get some of the stuff needed.  Nice the set stayed together.

A find at the Thrift store here.....   ;)

I don't know why but I'm wondering if they could be Japanese?
