I'm cleaning out an estate sale house in exchange for whatever I can get for the contents. I've listed some stuff on ebay (look up username "tnrabbit") but I'm unable to find a date or value for a this piece; anyone have any idea? I've found other Colclough stuff but it all has a different backmark:

100_0077.jpg?t=1275327987

100_0076.jpg?t=1275328003

100_0075.jpg?t=1275328068

100_0074.jpg?t=1275328134

I also found an OLD anchor that's missing the crosspiece:

It appears to be early-to-mid 1800s, but nobody has been able to tell me so far. It's 58" tall, 36" wide, and weighs almost exactly 100 lbs:

Thanks in advance for any assistance~

    That cup and saucer is very pretty with some fine detail.

    This seems like full retail price for anchors;

    Dang! What happened to that chick's face?!?!


    Anyway, the anchor looks like it was stripped of rust and painted silver. I don't know if it changes the value of the anchor to do that but it'll have to be stripped again and sanded down. The cross piece may have been wooden and that's why it's missing. It probably didn't survive. The hole for the cross piece doesn't look fatigues like it would with metal to metal contact.

    Old anchors are cool! Especially if you can find some history on them.

    Delta Gamma sorority houses are always buying new anchors about the size of the one you have to replace those stolen by fraternity pranksters.

    WOW I'm glad I'm not the only one who had a few smart Aleck remarks come to mind for the anchor model. :D I completely understand though not wanting your face on the net for any reason. I came unglued when i found out my wife put mine on her social accounts.:rolleyes:

    I just received this via email from focusoncolclough.co.uk:

    "Thank you for your enquiry. This pattern was made just after the second world war. It is not as popular as it was when first produced and has limited value. I am sorry I am unable to give valuation in this current financial market.
    The crinolin designs were produced by different company into he late 40's and through the 1950's, and also in different colourways.
    It is not worth a lot and would be covered on ordinary house insurance. If you are wanting to sell I would suggest ebay.
    I hope I have answered your questions."

    Thanks to everyone for their input~
