Uploading and Antique Help!

Hello,

I want to start off by saying that I have little to no experience with Antiques. This is why I have come on here to seek your expertise!

My mum has just been through our storage items (she was on the hunt for an old coin collection). She came across some items which neither of us knew we had!

I want to upload photos but the files are too large - how could I show you all?

Thank you

 

Welcome, DR1994! Where are your pictures - your computer or a phone? If a phone, what type?

Here's a tutorial on Posting a new thread and attaching pictures.

I’m on an iPhone! Every single photo is too large apparently. I can’t take anymore as they are being forwarded to me from my mum

 

Sorry, I should have been more specific. There are three items - a pin, a coin (on a necklace), and an 18ct gold button of some sort! Not sure whether a coin collector might be interested in taking a look?

 

worry not....we are all interested !!!!
How do you think we 'here' learn ?

Show off what ya got !!

 

Hi DR.......I email my Iphone photos to myself and resize in a photo program.

Others do it differently, and you might like their way better.

Just wait a few for the others.

 

These are the best I can do - the first one has FIRMIN LONDON written on the back. I doubt they are worth anything but it would be interesting to know anything about them!

 

Can you also see the two attached at the bottom? They are not showing in the post ? X

 

Gold cuff link with an engraved ship?

 

On that one (I know it’s not a good photo) but you can see a fist grasping a sword that’s pointed upwards!

 

It’s better on the attached photos. I wonder if I can just see those ones x

 

No clue on age for the religious piece, but this should provide some insights as to subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vade_retro_satana

 

Glad you described it.....I was thinking it was a ship flying some flags too!!!!!
And yes, the other two are visible when one clicks on the thumbnails........

 

If you want or need more help getting your images posted, just ASK US!!!!! We were all there once too!!!! You'll get the hang of it quickly!!

 

Re the religious medal, I found the following on Wikipedia searching on 'CSPD religious' [no idea how to upload links] - basically 'Colegio de San Pascual Baylon or the College of St. Paschal Baylon (CSPB, formerly Escuela Catolica and St. Pascual Institution (SPI) is a collegiate school at Obando, Bulacan in the Philippines. The school started as a catechetical school on February 11, 1913,
If you stick with this search term and look at Images, you will find ones very similar to yours.

 

Re the top piccy, FIRMIN House is in London and it makes ceremonial military bits like buttons etc. Seems to be a bit of info on them. Now for a crack at Piccy No 2

 

Welcome, DR.

Sounds like a family or clan crest.
