Pressed glass silverplated head dolphin peanut dispenser Item number: TAB02040116 Price: $55
Someone told me this may be an old peanut dispenser.
It is in the shape if a dolphin. You load the inside with peanuts and get the peanuts from the open mouth of the dolphin. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE SO IT MUST BE RARE AND UNUSUAL. A VERY INTERESTING ITEM INDEED. I PRIDE MYSELF ON TRYING TO SELL INTERESTING AND UNUSUAL ITEMS NOW.
The glass looks pressed and is full of lot and lots of tiny bubbles. The head looks to be silver coated and is made of a hard light plastic-y material.
The length of the dispenser is close to 24 cms long.
If it is a peanut dispenser, you won't have to worry about people dipping their dirty hands into the peanuts (like when in a bowl).

2 antique silverplate knife restsItem number: TAB13041404 Price: $40
A pairs of knife rests are not easy to come by. You often see just one. Each of these knife rests is about 8 cms long. They are very good condition overall. One of the ends of one is a bit bent, and you may want to bend it back. No big deal....I can do it for you.

silver-plated salt/mustard pot/inkwell with blue glass insertItem TAB21041511 Price: $35
This is nice little salt or mustard pot with a blue glass liner. It is 4 cms high and in excellent condition. Has an Art Deco look about it.
Looking at it closely (flared shape at bottom) and feeling the weight, it also makes me think it may well be an inkwell.

6 porcelain QANTAS Napkin Rings Wedgewood gold trimItem number: TAB26040123 Price: $90
Six porcelain napkin rings made by Wedgwood, exclusively for Qantas Airlines...in excellent condition...they are white in colour (don't believe the digital camera) and have two gilded gold lines on them. They are flat on one side so they can be stood up as in photo...I can only imagine that someone stole them from first class...or worked for Qantas...they are very nice indeed, and a great collector's item.
