old moose antlers

left behind in this old house by the previous owner, but not sure how old they really are 
- could be from over 50 years ago -
still perfect for hanging your hunting or skateboarding caps on...

if so desired, will trade for cold hard cash in round numbers,
like around 300 CADs, yo

bottle-drying rack


found in an ancient dusty cave in Provence, this crazy sculpturesque contraption has also  served as an eccentric floor lamp in this old house...
but for the enterprising home-brewer, it could revert back to its original function as a Duchamp-ian "ready-made" rack for drying washed bottles

37 inches/95 cm high
21 inches/53 cm wide at feet

have fun swiveling 99 bottles on a century-old rack for 600 non-french dollar$

old french fencing foil and mask

 for the romantic dueling types, one can never have enough long pointy épées around...
this one is definitely french [found at the mother of antiques fairs in Chatou outside of Paris], quite possibly 19th century and measures 43 inches/107.5 cm long [there is a name deciphered partially as "JUVENTZ" or "JOVENEZ" handwritten on the shield padding of the handle]
the metal mesh mask is in good condition with a linen throat guard hand-stitched on

both pieces at a gentlemanly price of 300 gold-coloured coins [loonies]
