    THIS! This right here is one of the reasons WHY I appreciate you and hold you in the highest esteem! You are a 'conservator of the past'... Your passion is palpable and your enthusiasm is warranted! Dear Grandma 'R' is surely beaming that this beautiful item found its way to you insuring that this stunning 'Salver' will continue to be loved and have a 'home' with perhaps one of us... Incredible find, Scott, incredible!... xoxo

    I just found an S & H Green stamp inside of a 70s chalet music box I listed in my Etsy shop. Not an antique but an exciting find for this 70s girl. It brought back memories for sure! Congrats on your amazing find!

    My house was built in 1841. Im trying to furnish it with period pieces. Love the cake salve!
    I was addicted to buying antique clocks a few years back. I bought a mantle clock from an online auction that had a letter inside written by the previous owner from the 1800s. It listed the previous owners before them. It was by far a delight to see the history kept intact inside the old beauty. Btw, the wooden works still keeps time.❤

    i just saw a post of yours the was posted 5 mos ago (per youtube) where you hung dining room curtains. Very nice. I was wondering if you considered chair rails in the dining area. Molding below, wall paper on top. I love the idea. You can use my place to practice if you like.. now i am watching you share all the curtains and materials for window treatments from a year ago. Gorgeous!!!! anyway I just found you a couple of weeks ago. I am catching up.
    So about the cake stand today. I am not sure I understand why you removed the note and dried flowers from the base. Help. It looked like it disintegrated. How is it now?

    My guess is that Granny cut a piece of her wedding flower arrangement ( or maybe a corsage) and stuck it to the under side of that cork to save it. The cake stand might have been a wedding or anniversary gift. Great vid!

    • @kpgunther
      @kpgunther 6 месяцев назад +9

      @CarlosGonzalez-hu3hr While that summation is sentimental and sweet I honestly believe that the fabric floral bits are perhaps original to the cake 'salver' being that it was 'crafted' with the hollow stem and that the florals are a bit too 'generic/plain' to be from an actual 'wedding/corsage'... Essentially, the era from which this piece comes from this type of simple embellishment is quite common...

    Finding those hidden gems inside an antique purchase is always a nice bonus! I found some ephemera inside a late 1930's Philco radio, but it wasn't anything important -- just some junk that found its way inside there. It certainly wasn't as eye-catching as finding that mini floral arrangement inside the salver. Grandma Rainey is smiling down on you from the heavens above!

    The flowers look like gardenias, so I’m thinking it was meant to decorate the salver’s stem for a wedding - gardenias have been popular wedding flowers for generations. Maybe the purchaser had a choice of various stem stuffers in different colors/flowers - just a thought.

    We called my great grandmother Grandma and my grandmother was Granny. Grandma was her mother-in-law and they were not friends. I cringe to this day when my adult kids who never met either mistake their names because I know my Granny would be deeply insulted. I was excited to find an old address hidden in a mid century vase I was cleaning today, but that now seems a rather dull find after this. The address popped out as I was rinsing it for the second time and I thought it was a bug at first since many old vases end up bug coffins if they sit long enough.
