A diverse collection of decorative and vintage items. This lot includes two dark brown wax candles, one pear-shaped and one elephant-shaped, the latter bearing a tag identifying it as “Elephant Candle At Home.” Also present is a yellow tabletop clock, likely ceramic or plastic, featuring a Chinese dial marked “SHANGHAI CHINA” and “上海.” A vintage black faux-leatherette camera case is included, with a handwritten label “KODAK No2 CARTRIDGE HAWKEYE MODEL C 31263.” Adjacent is a textured, silver-colored metal container resembling a tree stump, possibly a lighter, holding a small axe-like implement and carrying a “3699” price sticker. Beside it is a rectangular, copper-toned metal or ceramic ashtray with a geometric, possibly Mesoamerican-style, relief pattern. The collection further encompasses an orange “WILLS’S CUT GOLDEN BAR TOBACCO Ready for the pipe” tin and a group of vintage empty cigarette packets including “PICCADILLY Number One,” “Kensitas FILTER TIPPED,” and “PLAYER’S NAVY CUT CIGARETTES MEDIUM.”
