Just some old Williams stuff

It is pretty amazing that anything just shy of a 100 yrs old can survive in that kind of condition and never or hardly been used.
 
Pretty awesome stuff KJ!
Thanks Don
I know you have rarer but I think the coolest is the Williams porcelain mugs.
Are you referring to these?

They are actually made of milk glass. They were made in Canada and are fairly rare. I’ve seen less than 10 of them posted on forums. I bought my first one from someone in Canada. Funny thing is the boxed one, I bought in an estate sale right here in Missouri! What are the odds? I just happened to be at that sale to get it too. That piece is almost my favorite Williams piece just for that reason.

Or these scuttles?


I have 3, there is one still in that box. But the one that is reversed, is the only one that has that writing on the back. I’ve never seen another one that actually has Williams printed on it.

I know. I still can’t believe it’s condition. It’s probable the one item, out of my entire collection of everything, that is in the best condition.
 
The scuttles are definitely cool, especially the antiseptic one but I never found those functional for me. Guess I meant the milk glass. I remember you posting getting that one at the estate. Very cool to get that way! All your collections are awesome and only attainable at that level by an unmarried person ?? Love seeing collections like that. When you're done getting it all organized you can sell tickets for tours. ?
