    Another nice little find today. Reverse carved and signed JEA or JFA.
    Any idea of its age (genuinely old or a wannabe?)please or does the signature help?. Google so far hasn’t!
    Thanks for looking :)

    The intaglio may have been done by someone as a hobby.

    Apologies about the double post, I will edit it. Ever since our new modem, which was supposed to be sooo much better than our 'decrepit' oldie, I keep having internet connectivity problems.:rolleyes: It often looks like my replies don't get posted.

    At least the second reply shows I agreed with myself.:hilarious:

    I do a lot of eye rolling at myself.:rolleyes: Which is just as hard to do as it sounds.

    Agree. You have to make sure they don’t fall down the back!
