What is it?

[mowin]

Buddy is retiring and leaving NY..(lucky bastard), and had a estate/barn sale and I was helping him with the sale. 

He pulls this item out, and says does anyone know what it is.. I did, but several others had no clue.  

So who knows what this is?

I believe that is a turn of the century stripper pole from a saloon.

Yup, a Armstrong Washing Machine. I used to casually collect them, till someone wanted to buy them from me.

I know what a church key is, dad called them that all the time. 

Interesting items to collect. What's the oldest or rarest you have?

Mowin- I am not sure, but I think the oldest is a International Breweries one (they made Topper, Frankenmuth, Old Dutch, Bavarians and Silver Bar beers in breweries from Florida to NY)
