Where I first thought there was an underscored N, now, looking at it from a different angle (and possible influenced by your info ) I do indeed see a 7 next to the Z.

 

I see a cloud ......

 

I see many ... but also a bit of sunshine, so it isn't as bad as it was last week...
O wait.. you're not talking about the weather...

 

I just got back from picking up some things I bought at an online auction. I can't always get bargains at the online sales but someone just starting and with a low following is usually good for a few.

I bought a box of buttons and other sewing stuff because it had a Revlon lipstick that can sell for high dollars but there was also a civil war era military button that has sold for as much as $120.

 

congrats anund, that is a great way to start the day

 

The car boot sale stuff was bought on Sunday, and on Saturday I bought this







The 2nd from the left, is Limoges, and the one in the middle is alpacca + MoP

And I'm still trying to figure out the silver mark...

 

Most likely Mexican.

Too bad about the wonky stitching, that means it is not the real deal.

 

When I took that pic, I noticed and thought the same thing.

 

Definitely Mexican.... because it's marked 'Alpaca Mexico'

 

In that case it is Mexican alpaca.

 

I should have checked Trivago .... err, I mean, I should have checked it better before buying it...
Took a look at the press button with a loupe, and it's marked 'Mark Tigon'

 

Sorry to say it, but best throw it away so it doesn't end up in the fakes circuit.

 

Is the one on the right wearing a Moroccan water seller's hat?

 

Now that I know it's fake, I will definitely not try to resell it!

 

&..Abalone , not MoP..

 

Ah, misinformed by the all-knowing internet

 

I'v got 2 of these Mexican boxes....




So....correct information by the all knowing Komokwa...............

 

Now that I saw that box, I remembered that my father has a lighter case with abalone. I wonder if that's Mexican as well... And will probably forget to check it when I visit my parents again...
