Dockey Auction Service OWNE R: DEAN W. RADEL #AU229L (570-758-6004) & Kei win & Kcivvm, Attorney Yvonne Dockey-Romberger #AUI6B3L mirrors by a known maker come to the market they’re costly. An easel back mirror attributed to 20th century, English silversmith William Comyns can sell at auc tion for more than $2,000. They were often part of a set that in cluded candlesticks or vases. In America, Tiffany and others made quality mirrors with vari ous sterling silver motifs. Dressing table sets, known as toilet service, in the 18th century could include as many as 30 pieces. Brushes, combs, a glove tray, and mirrors were among them. Hand mirrors weren’t usually included until the late 19th cen tury. These days just finding a single piece can be expensive. Toilet bowls (actually small glass boxes) made in a variety of shapes, were an important part of a ladies service since they hald beauty items such as powders, salves, and pastes. By the 1880 s they were made of cut glass with fancy silver tops...often in Art REAL ESTATE Nouveau designs. Less expensive were those of pressed glass with a silver-plated lid. Combs could either be orna mental or utilitarian. By 1900 they were even designed for pockets with their own engraved silver cases. Curling irons for men and women, made in the early 20th century, had beautifully designed handles.' Those for men were small and used to curl a mous tache or beard. CLUES: Some unlikely silver collectibles could include tooth brushes, razors and razor cases and toothpicks. The toothbrushes made from 1750 to the mid-19th century consisted of a silver frame that had interchangeable ivories set with bristles. Silver toothpicks were popular into the early 20th century. Wealthy traveling men of the 19th and early 20th century had dressing sets in finely appointed wood cases. Usually of silver mounted mahogany. They con tained silver or silver-gilt mount ed cut glass bottles along with toothbrushes, shaving kit, and pot for soap.
