No collector ever has enough treen. Below is a great selection of nice and unique treen items. CANTEEN
Made from cherry with lots of handled patina and measuring just 6 1/4" diameter x 4 3/4" high, this canteen is in amazingly good condition. Perfect for a shelf or buttery. Note the hand carved initial "W". on one end $375.00 COLLECTION OF STAVED TANKARDS
Size: 7 3/4" x 6 7/8" SOLD
8 1/2" x 6 7/8" SOLD
9 1/2" x 8 1/2" $210.00
11 1/4" x 8 3/4" SOLD This has to be one of the most exciting finds! In all the years I have never found a grouping of staved containers that are truly graduated all at one time. They are in excellent condition and are most likely Scandinavian although they were found in upstate New York. How wonderful these would be in a buttery or on a bucket bench. Note the neat staple repair on the third staved tankard. YARN SCARN
Yarn scarns were used to hold spools of extra spun yarn. This one has a really nice thick base and great brown color and the neatest spool. It is 14 1/2" High x 10 1/4" Wide x 4 1/2" Deep.These are neat in a room with a spinning wheel or on a shelf or chest. A much used accessory in the 18th and 19th Century. Also fun to look for other interesting spools to store on it. SOLD CARVED BREAD BOARD
For a lack of another use for this wonderful board, I am terming it a bread board. Made most likely from a very early board and possibly made from a larger bread board someone practiced carving a shell in the middle and also practiced other carving. The surface is crusty and dark. Although there are other holes in the board, I would use it as a cutting board or next to a stove to set hot pans or pots on it. Measuring 12" high x 11" wide it is one folky and neat board. $125.00 PANTRY BOX
Stacking pantry boxes by size isn't quite as popular as it once was but using pantry boxes in groupings with other things or on a kitchen shelf is more popular then ever. This great attic surface box measuring 6 1/4" x 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" high is in nearly perfect condition and the surface as nice as it gets. SOLD CLOTHES PINS
In the 18th and 19th Century you couldn't go buy a package of clothes pins. Instead they were hand made locally or by the person wanting them. These are 3 matching clothes pins that were found in upstate New York. They are all around 4 3/4" long. SOLD CANTEEN
The early version of our travel cups or water bottles was the 18th or 19th Century canteen. Like us today they took water with them. Love the wood swing handle. It is 9" in diameter and 8" deep. SOLD TREEN BOWL
What a fabulous bowl! It is either birch or maybe mahogany which is really hard to pin point as the surface is just dark enough to cover up what you need to see to determine the wood. The turnings are wonderful as is, of course, the darkened surface and wear. Inside as you can see is some staining but that just makes it look better and no doubt to its late 18th Century New England roots. It is 2" high with a diameter of 8 3/4" x 9". A small crack can be seen on the bottom but it goes nowhere and the bowl has no other problems or repairs. SOLD THE GAOL IN YORK, MAINE
What a great use for a bread board! This picture was taken at the Gaol in York, Maine. It shows a wonderful heart shaped board resting between the arms on an arm chair. Wow, you could do this with any bread board as long as it was wide enough to sit with good overhang between the arms. There would be just tons of uses including a neat form of TV tray.
