I just found information online that indicates this is probably a Swiss army ammo pouch. Would still appreciate any other comments and opinions.
Can anyone tell me if this ammo pouch is German, what the cross and "J" on the back represent, and if the number 41 under the name means 1941? I...
I've had this covered pot for about 25 years and would like to know if it's significantly older than that. I bought it at an "antique" mall and...
Interesting. Yes, I'm sure the lining is silk. You could try polishing the frame without removing the bag. However, the dark parts might be...
I zoomed in on some of your photos again to see if the bag could possibly be sewn to the frame. Maybe my eyes are deceiving me, but there seems to...

I should add that I've looked at similar baskets online and it seems to me that these are older oak splint and nice quality baskets, but so many...
Can anyone tell me (1) approximately how old these two baskets are, (2) from which part of the country they may have originated--I bought them in...
I appreciate your kind words, but in reality they've just been sitting in a tray of other necklaces since I bought them, waiting for the day when...
Thank you AJ, I will take your advice and call it carnelian--not natural carnelian. I found hundreds of "natural carnelian" necklaces listed on...
Thank you Holly.
Thank you for that helpful information. I suppose the beads would feel heavy around the neck...I've never tried them on.
I just stumbled across more information about carnelian vs agate from yesdirt.com, so I'm thinking I may have do use both carnelian and agate in...
Here's a photo without back lighting. When I was researching carnelian jewelry, I ran across information that said the majority of stones passed...
