www.opamerica.com Presenting an Original, Antique Ferdinand Strauss Tombo Alabama Coon Jigger Tin Litho Windup Toy. C.1910-1918. This toy is complete and appears great condition! The litho has remained colorful and free from rust. I did notice a small piece of solder on the wire that holds up the dancer. When wound, the gentleman bounces up and down while turning around. The bottom of the toy is marked Tombo The Alabama Coon Jigger Trademark Strauss Mfg Co New York USA US Pat. May 24, 1910. The toy measures 4 3/4″ inches wide and is 10 1/2″ inches tall.

My mom had a cool, Old ummmm, not horoscope…but It had sea beings, sea monsters, and some horoscope characters on it…But it was a HIDE A BAR, it opened in the middle, and had room for glasses, ice tin, and the middle can hold up to 10+ bottles….

At an antique store a while back, I purchased an "almost matching" set of four copper cups. Three are labeled as "solid copper" on the bottom and do appear to be 100% copper. The fourth is copper on the outside, with a grey metal (might be tin or aluminium, I’m fairly sure it’s not steel) on the inside.
Are these safe to drink from? Or can they be *made* safe to drink from?
Also, there is some tarnishing on the copper. Particularly inside the 3 solid copper cups. What are some good ways to clean it? Preferably with minimal use of nasty chemicals.
