My Vintage Thingies Thursday visit with Coloradolady will be a little different. I trust some of these things will be of interest to you.
All of these items are very old. At one time, they belonged to my brother-in-law's late father. He was a sergeant during World War 2. He was stationed near or around India. He sent or brought back all of the things I am featuring today. My brother-in-law now has all these.
I found this ashtray interesting. Those are real coins around the edges.

OMG....there has to be something wrong with me for sure now...I have been sitting here trying to figure out who the heck your brother in law is.....maybe if you would have said "husband-in-law" I would not have been racking my brain trying to figure this out! Please.....help me!!!!
The ash tray is really neat, very unusual...but than again, all of these are neat items....Happy VTT and pray for my sanity!

Hi! I saw you on Deb's blog and was going to invite you to join Alphabe-Thursday but it looks like you are already doing a Thursday meme. If you can ever link them together please consider joining us with a double link! That would be fun!
Such interesting items. You sure don't see these around very much.
Great Stuff, the ashtray is really cool. Family stuff always means more to me than my Thrift Store finds altho I am always thrilled with them too. Thanks for sharing.
Love the pieces you have here. The story that surrounds the pieces makes them so special.

Quite an interesting assortment!

That ashtray is pretty cool! I'm not sure what the other items are but they look great! And how special that they are pieces that have been handed down in the family!!
It is very interesting. I like the 3rd picture and the ashtray too. Nice pieces.

what great momentos you have there!!!
Beautiful things! I always love items that come from other countries.
Happy Thursday!
Check out those coins. They could be very valuable. That is one cool ashtray.
What's the first photo? ink wells? If it is..., those are really collectables. They are very pretty.
Great pieces! Love the ashtray.
I found your BIL's collection fascinating. I googled centavos and was surprised to find it a Mexican coin. Thanks for sharing.
Family relational names always confuse me too.
Fun vintage items. The ashtray is quite unique with the coins around the edge.
What gorgeous pieces! I love the little covered bowls/containers in the first photo. Great treasures, for sure!
The workmanship on these is amazing! My grandfather had a similar ashtray from Greece.
I'm a little late with my visits. I hope you checked out my 2 giveaways when you visited my VTT!
Wow!That is awesome!I also like that you thought to feature another's collection.You're a sweetie,for sure:)
