Welcome to
Applejack Lane. We have many sterling silver grooming items that have been passed down to us. This hodge-podge collection rests on an antique dresser in our bedroom. Not a single item has a match. I just saw a wonderful
matched collection on eBay with a starting bid at almost $1500! Wow! I sure wish ours matched!
A hand mirror, hair brush, clothes brush, and tortoise comb with monograms...
The mirror is dated 1899...
A few grooming utensils: a shoe horn, button hook, cuticle tool, nail file, brush, and crystal jar...
The button hook is great to scratch my back!

These are such beautiful heirloom items. It seems like several of us were thinking about family items this week. Your photos are so big and clear too, I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Everything is wonderful.

Hi Joan...
Ohhh...what a beautiful display of silver!!! It's all gorgeous...so very exquisite!!! I love the mirror...it's probably the prettiest that I've ever seen! I guess the thing that I love most about silver is how very ornate the pieces are...I love that! Thank you so much for sharing some of your fabulous pieces with us today for Silver Sunday...what a treat!!! OMG...can you imagine the beginning price of $1500 for a matched silver vanity set? Eeeks!!! I would think that these beautiful pieces of yours are worth some money as well...they are in pristine condition!!!
Warmest winter wishes,
Chari @Happy To Design
A gorgeous set!!! I especially love old silver that is dated.
Happy SS!

What absolutely beautiful pieces you have and the fact they don't match, as you say, doesn't bother me one bit as each one stands on it's own beauty! Have a great SS

HI Joan
Well I love all these grooming items and I don't think it matters that they don't match... in fact I think it adds to their charm... and they are soo shiny! You've maintained them wonderfully... Julie
Wonderful silver grooming pieces... your dresser must be beautiful. I have been eyeing some myself, I may have to pick them up. Thanks for sharing, Happy Silver Sunday.
What great silver dresser items. I love these as well as dining room silver! Dressing tables and chests should sparkle! Love that mirror -- actually, I covet that mirror!
Those are real treasures! It is neat that they have been passed from generation to generation.
