Another unusual collection that has been sold through our auction was that of 100 spittoons. Just thinking of all that spit is quite unnerving. It is amazing to see the different varieties of those containers. The most common are metals like brass, but they come in bronze, silver plate, tin and cast iron.
Some of the fanciers spittons are in delft porcelain, limoge decorated, carnival glass, cut glass and more. They are also in many sizes but most are the traditional shape. The most difficult part of this collection is finding buyers of so many. One of our discoveries is if you have one of an item, it is not likely to draw many different buyers of that item. Add a bunch and advertise. They will come....
