Probably a quiet time of year but I'm sure there are still some goodies out there. Rug up peoples, winter is here. :_|

Do have about four more in different shapes.The new one has a label underneath that says
Made for G.J.Coles Melbourne,any idea what the age would be?
A couple of more small finds.
The solid brass "things" I found in one of my cabinets,any idea on what they were used for?

Would they be wax seals?

The wax seals refers to grannyfrog's items.

Chocolate moulds, I think from less hygienic times.

I thought chocolate moulds at first,but would they have been made in brass.
Never thought of wax seals.
Thank you both for your replies.

they could be simply decorative items

granny, the moulds being in such an 'industrial' looking metal, I'd guess something for the plastics industry perhaps? making that 'fake' moulding for post-war furniture. The larger one has a pouring hole I see.

Have my niece and family from Brisbane staying with me for a couple of nights and my niece wanted to visit a couple of my local op shops.
The third and last one we visited my niece said to me,"This is like some of the pottery you have" and handed me this jug.
Have to say I have not seen this shape before.
