Just finished repairing this; one leg in three pieces, another leg broken off its bracket. Basket case brought back to useful life. Interesting...
I try very hard not to buy any porcelain/pottery, unless it is in perfect condition, early or it has bugs on it. This one has wear (but no chips,...
These napkin rings appear to be Victorian. They appear to me to be silver and not plated, though I haven't measured specific gravity so I can't...
Fair amount of wear to the base (not visible in the pics) so I think it could be from the Blenko era, but no reason to believe it is from them...
I doubt this is worth anything, but it was too strange to discard without figuring out what it is. The best I could do to decipher the script was...
Silverplate from Sheffield, but I can't imagine what this would have been used for? It is quite large, almost 12 in high, but a mostly hollow...
This is a very fine weave and rather huge (about ten feet by three feet). Is that too large to be a shawl? You can see how fine the weave in the...
Something else I knew nothing about before reading on this site, so something else I need to ask about. I have two of these, will post another...
One of the best things about reading this forum is finding out about pieces that I knew nothing about before (like Tapa cloth). Which is also one...
Found this painting by Godfrey Broken Rope, 1908-1989, Brule Sioux/Lakota (so say online sources). He had a somewhat sad but interesting life...
Although this is almost the size of a watch (1-3/8" x 1-5/8" x 7/16"), with a watch movement winding, I think it is properly called a clock?...
I came across this carved piece. Has old paint on it, but carving from underneath shows there have been other paint layers. Looks like it was cut...
I ran across this old drawer pull in a box of stuff I got recently. After reaching in and pulling this out, I decided it was worth taking the box...
No marks. The base shows the vent holes (there is also a tiny one on the back), and there is some pencil writing on the base. But the writing is...
I got a couple boxes of green depression glass (wrapped in newspaper from 1988). A few pieces I was able to recognize (Parrot and Cherry blossom...
I have a line on what I believe to be an original 1670-1730 Dutch etching - assuming the link below is giving the date of the etching and not the...
I ran into this small bowl and I'm convinced it is sterling though it isn't marked as such that I can find. It is marked "Silver Artists" "SA9"....
Post for @Any Jewelry ! Saw a carving of a couple today, and wasn't sure whether it was worth going after. In my opinion carving is good, but not...
Final post with baskets. I do still have a couple of "basketry" items (woven from basket material, although not containers) but don't have pics of...
This is Part 2 of the 3 part series. The baskets that may? be better than those in Part 1, but that is mostly gut feel. So calling anyone with an...
