Excellent aquisitions. We should go to an estate sale together sometime. I could use some more birds and/or giant, scary staplers.

The "Bird jars" are egg coddlers, used to make soft boiling eggs without a shell. You crack the egg into the jar, put on the lid and drop the whole thing into boiling water.
