ole bull stamped on back, butterfly or flower motif engraved in tuning peg plate, german manufactured sticker on inside. the case appears to be some sort of alligator-like fabric, pretty beat up case. the violin itself is in fair condition.

Item appears similar to a watch, slightly smaller than a men's pocket watch and larger than a woman's lapel watch.  Item has circular face with fob ring at top and wheel for measuring distance at bottom.  Face has one row of 12 numbers with gradations positioned like a clock's, which indicate inches.  Inside that row is another, one through 25, which indicate feet.  Hands similar to a clock's indicate feet and inches, the large hand inches and the smaller feet. The plating, which appears to be silver, is worn in spots, exposing what appears to be brass.  The measuring wheel moves freely and accurately.

Medium sized Rug

Really unusual design throughout, there are three Medallions running through the carpet which are very intricate and vast. I was given this a house moving gift from my Aunt and Uncle, 15yrs ago, they had it in there house for many years before it was handed down to me.

Please could you tell me anything relating to this?

Many thanks
