I saw a hot water bottle like that at an antiques shop once for a fairly good price. For some reason I didn't buy it. It was yellow coloured. Copper or brass, I think.

Today, I went to the thrift store. I got two Crucifixes for free, and a little Radnor Bone China flower decoration.

Plastic Crucifix. It has a 1 in a circle on the back. It may be vintage, or it may be not.

Wooden Crucifix. It has a little Made In China sticker on the back. I'm guessing its 80s-90s, but it could be newer.

Got this, today. From when you needed an opener to open your can of beer. You would put the can of beer in and pull the lever down. Basically, a professional grade church key.

Great find Tom! I think if you need one of those to open your can of beer, you have already past your limit! :cheers1:
