Decorative pieces comprise a large silver-toned metal fish with detailed scale work; a pair of brass candlesticks with serpent-form stems; a cast metal crocodile figure; a novelty clock housed in a miniature brass-toned diver’s helmet; a glass cube containing copper-toned coins; and various small metal figurines including an owl and a lion. Military and transportation collectibles include a large textured model of a propeller aircraft with a weathered finish and an oval river stone hand-painted with a British RAF fighter plane. Tools and ephemera include a vintage-style hand stamp with a turned wooden handle, several small wood-handled tools, a red and dark-toned leather pouch, and measuring instruments including a wooden folding ruler and a flexible measuring tape.
