Thread: Looking for a Scuttle master.

I previewed an auction I am going to tonight. I don't know a thing about scuttles or their value. Please take a look at this picture and give advice on value and age if you can. I posted this in show and tell as well looking for advice. Thanks

Sorry, but we don't do valuations on this site.

Only one even looks like a scuttle.

Here is what I can tell you

I went through a Vintage Scuttle buying phase a few years ago I have maybe 12 of them now, I mostly paid more for shipping then I did the scuttle to put that into perspective a Med Flat Rate box in the US is about $11 shipped

Gssixgun,

Thank you so much for what you "DO" and “CAN” do.
You are always very positive in your help when asked. Your answer was exactly what I was looking for, I will keep it in the back of my mind. I did not want to get into a froth before the bidding starts and get caught up in the moment ( At least with E bay you have time to think). The bottom line is it's value to me is what ever I am willing to shell out for it.

I knew it was either you or Geezer I had seen post a picture with many scuttles in the background. I was always taught when in question ask someone that knows.
Thanks again for what you could do.

One of them looks like a peepee pot.

It is a Peepee pot. Scuttle is China knock off 1970's . The makers mark is wrong in size and style. I might go up to 10.00 for the lot, never know when you need a good pee pot.

Sure it's not a 'spittoon' ??

Don't think they had pop top beer cans back then for spitters.

Small enough to be a lady's spittoon for home use.

Well Boy's
I watched two people fight it out over a knock off Scuttle worth $4.00 wholesale and a no name Pee pot (yes Pee Pot) the plates were Japan with the sticker to prove it. The other piece that Razorfeld thought would make a fair lather bowl was a cheap silk screened pot that would take a 6" brush to reach the bottom if you only used your finger tips to hold it. All of this wonderful JUNK sold for $37.50

I learned much about scuttles today and how to tell most real from reproductions. I downloaded an 18 page what to look for and what it should not have manual. Along with my smart phone to check facts in the preview I was ready to walk away after $10.00 and I did.
Kind of sad I lost the Pee Pot though would have made a nice vase for some tackey plastic flowers.

gssixgun thank you again for what you could do. It made me do my research once I had a price point. I walked away not being a sucker for buying looks.

Wouldn't you like to be in the head of the one that won the auction when the excitement of winning calms down and he or she take a critical look at what they bought?
