TOOLS
Candle Holder—Handmade—Reclaimed red cedar round candle holder with pentacle design, 11" diameter. Holds five candles, one at each point of the star. Bloodstone cabochon inset in the center. New.
Bell—Vintage and Handmade—We like to call this our Jingle Flail. Vintage sleigh-style jingle bell marked "10" on top with wonderful round tone, 2-2.5" diameter (not perfectly round). Includes hand-turned reclaimed red cedar handle, 7.5" long. Fun and attractive way to give new life to an old bell. Bell is in Very Good condition, handle and chain are New.
Athame—New—Handmade Damascus style steel dagger with full tang for stability. Handle is green-dyed camel bone. Comes with embossed leather sheath with beltloop. New condition
Altar/Box—Vintage—Shaker-style round wooden cheese box, 15" diameter—big enough to both serve as an altar and store everything inside when the season ends. This box is big and beautiful with a rich brown finish. It's large enough that the entire altar set can be tucked away inside. The finish is rough (not smooth-sanded) with several use scars (see photos), gaps between boards, and some break-away around the nails on the bottom, but it is still solid—no cracks, peel away, or looseness. The lid fits well.
Besom—Vintage, New Old Stock—World War II U.S. Mountain Ski/Snow Troop whisk broom, 5" long, roughly 2.5" at widest point. Manufactured for U.S. troops to use for clearing their boots and gear in snowy situations, this broom was among a few crates that were never assigned and sat around for years before being sold. Adorable, small enough to fit in your hand. The broom material is unknown but looks natural. Unused, like-new condition.
Ornament—Used—Swedish-style straw and red thread goat ornament (Julbock or Yule Goat—see our Vintage History blog entry). Approximately 3" tall. Like new condition.
Chalice—Vintage, possibly Antique—Silver-rimmed etched martini-style glass, 5.375" tall. No chips, cracks, or scratches. Some minor wear shows on the silver rim. Excellent condition.
