Pipes, Pipes and MORE Smoking Pipes!!

Well February is nearly gone and life seems

 to be passing by very quickly!

For all the Pipe collectors I have some rather nice and 

unusual pipes in store now.

This is a collection gathered by a relatively young man who enthusiastically

 sought out the pipes and the right books to guide him along the way.

There is approximately 50 Pipes and some great

 Pipe Books on offer - well worth a visit!

Perfect Launceston weather!

We are having lovely 24, 25 degree days with days of 28 29 intermingled.

Last night was a hot one and at 1.30 am it was still 17 degrees!

Anyhow this warm weather is certainly bringing out the tourists

with people from Adelaide SA, Sunshine Coast QLD and Perth WA 

visiting Recycled Relix.

Here are some of the new items in store now!

I may have to take this home..... just love the look.

It is a Hutschenreuther Cup Saucer and Plate from Bavaria

c1940s 1950s

The Gold CS&P is also a Hutschenreuther, the rear left is 

marked Bavaria and the rear right is Felda Rhon.

Both these makers made china for the Third Reicht.

On the left is the Kodak Brownie Six-20 c1947 and still in

working order.

On the right is the Kodal 1A Autographic JR c1913 again in working order

and with lovely detail....

And for the purist - it also has its PEN held in the brackets 

of the Autograph compartment. 

When you took the photo you would write on the film with the pen.

The pen itself is worth $50 as they were often lost and 

this is the first one I have seen complete!

A Wind Up Monkey c1920s 

or should I say an UGLY Wind Up Monkey!

Edwards & Co Coffee & Chicory Tin and 2 Tasma Bottles c1925

From top to bottom: A Launceston Bank for Savings Coin

with Colonel Paterson on the rear,

An old Fob Compass,

and a Seikoshi Longines Fob Watch 

A pair of Roumanian Silver serving spoons.....

with a rolled rose gold ladies watch.

Wedgwood Jasperware plates and ashtray in the 

original boxes.

Retro Orange Pumpin Light Shades or candle covers.

Early 1900s Joseph Sankey and Son Copper Candle Holder.

Have a lovely weekend!

Hot & Humid in Tassie.....?? For a day or two anyway!

We moved 5 years ago this month to Tasmania

for a reprieve from the Queensland heat and humidity.

The first week we were here it was 30 degrees 

and I was so upset and wondered what had we done!

Anyhow I have learnt now that even if we do have A hot day

it is just that 1 day, maybe 2 then Tassie does 

what it does best and turns on the 23/24 degree 

blue sky days....

Today with an expected 29 degrees - I can not wait for tomorrow!

Meanwhile in business land we are seeing a few tourists....
