Found this vase along with a Havell painting when I was still in Arizona. Time to time, I'll goto local apartment complexes and do some dives.

The lamp, clock, fan, and both lanterns were saved from the trash. The lamp is 40s or 50s vintage as far as I can tell. Fan is 40s. Red lantern is from 1939, the other one was made in 1902.

Another fan, this one made around 1937. All the tools on the workbench had been binned. It's fun to ask kids in the family what the ice tongs were used for. None of them have any idea.

1860s pocket watch that was being sold for "steampunk art" (people rip the gears out and glue them to stuff). Runs when wound, needs to be serviced but keeps time as it is. Needs hands and a case to be perfect.
Saving old junk from doom is interesting, you learn a lot of "fun facts" while researching it all.
He seems very fond of mirrors
