This makes me think of that 90's song "My name is Luca"

"My name is Mica, I live in the psych-ward. I live next-door to you. I try not to scream too loud...."

Certainly two gears. You can see the root, pitch, and outer diameter called out. The O with the cross through it is the diameter symbol.

It's a really old water pitcher. Before people had access to running water, they used these to keep and pour the water. Smaller versions combined with a dish were used for washing the body before showers and baths in the home became available to the general public. Once every week or so they went to a bath house for a more thorough wash.
My grandma has a brass pitcher like that (which she of course uses as a vase, hehe), along with a very old and very large Dutch milk churn (which she also uses as a vase).

Lovely colours. This would make a fantastic wallpaper.

Hello BKW Ontario, how are you ?
The answer to your question is that this kind of furniture is made in a factory and in large numbers, the woodcutting was done by macines.
They were cheap, relative strong, thats why so many survive the time.
When you look on the Dutch site Marktplaats.nl and you type antieke bedden, then you can buy such a bed for 200 Euro's
But in modern standards they are tos small 180 by 130 cm and they are very noisy, cracking souns, and when you are a young married couple it is not very nice for the neighbours.
So , greetings from Leiden in Holland.

This would make a great still life painting...

I agree with you about plumbing eldokid! Thanks for another great gallery, Mr. Motts!!

I agree, Jude. There was so much dust on the glass that no one thought of a picture being there until it was broken.

It seems to me that the Hitler Youth book would be worth money, or at least that a museum would want it.

That is a chamber pot. Was there a bathroom in the house?

Looks like something ate the laces?

What is the thing on the floor off to the right?

Thanks Fred in Holland. That is very interesting - 1910 or 1920. I wonder how it made it through the war?

The furniture is fantastic!!

Gorgeous bed still with sheets on. Wow.
