Child's Dishes
This set of china is a small tea set for
children to play with. There are also two
pewter castors.
These items belonged to my mother, Lillie
Strahl Cardinal, and date back to her
childhood in the 1880's. I do not know
exactly how or when she got them, but
they were among her prized possessions.

OldThings.html#cleaver
Butcher's Clever with sword handle
Used in Napolean's army.
The sword handle was probably a replacement,
used instead of a regular handle because
no other was available.
It was later found in a Wisconsin
blacksmith's trash pail.
The rescuer brought it home and his
wife used it to cut kindling. (Early 1800's.)
It travelled with them to Washington [state]
and back, when it got its real workout
chopping wood (1930's).
