I have a Farber Bros. amythist Cambridge glass round decanter with chrome holder with six glass & chrome shot glasses on an oval chrome tray, date Aug. 2, 1932. Does anyone have any idea of its worth? It’s in perfect condition & obviously came as a set. I found it in an antiques shop in Tarrytown, NY, if that matters.

Hi, I have been searching for info on a black with bass looking hinged trinket box I recently purchased. The bottom of the box has little ball feet on it and is stamped in the right hand corner Farber Brothers NYC NO 100.It has quite the design on the outside of the lid. Do you know where I could find information about it. Oh it has wood inlay inside the bottom half of the box. I just love it and I am very interested in the history.

Many years ago I purchased a Art Deco wind-up clock that is marked Farber Bros. NYC on the back. Did these Farber Bros. ever make clocks while they were in buisness? And if so, where might I get some information on this beautiful clock?

I have a pair of small round amethyst salt & pepper shakers that look exactly like Farber Bros. but on the chrome bottom it is stamped Japan.

Do you have any info on these?

We have recently acquired a Farber Bros. salt and pepper set. The patent # is 87496 and the following #’s 1924-011. With in a frame is a cursive “L”, an arm holding a mallet with what appears to be an anvil and either a “HC” or “HE”. Can you tell me the significance of these markings. Thank you so much!

I have a Farber brothers pitcher with a solid brass bottom with milk glass pitcher. It has a paper label on the bottom that reads Farber Brothers solid brass. I would like to find information on the glass as well as they brass. I just don’t know how to identify the glass.

I own a liquor set made by Farber Bros. The pat# is 87496. It is green with silver around each shot glass. It also, has a tall liquor holder with a silver top. The set also, has a larger glass with silver markings. There are silver markings on each shot glass. I would like to identify the marking, however I don’t know where to look. Please help.

I have found a beautiful Faber Brothers silver tray with four pieces: oil and vinegar container and a salt and pepper set. The glass of these items are in a beautiful amber shade with silver bottoms on each. Can you give me some history of these items and their value?

I purchased a butter dish this past weekend. I decided to research the item online for its value. I intended to use every day but because it looks like an antique, I figured I would try to find out its origin or worth first. I have not been able to find any picture or description that matches the dish. It is silver or chrome with a glass enlay. On the bottom of the dish it is stamped:
KROME-KRAF
FARBER BROS
NEW YORKIN
There are also some other type of stamps. It looks like an “L” in cursive, an arm with a “mallet” or “hammer” hitting some type of platform and an “0+C”. Any information would be helpful. Thank you.
