Thank you all_fakes and shiloh. :)
Thank you. One day I'm going to find a Victorian Scottish agate and sterling buckle bracelet and my collection will be complete....yeah, right.;)
Wonderful idea Lucille, something to consider when I'm out and looking for smaller stuff. Another collection might get me put in the table...
Fig, I have the Presidium duo tester for both semi precious and diamond testing. It was definitely worth the money to me, but then again, I sell...
Of course ! These look like garnet, amethyst and possibly green garnets or peridot. My tester will only tell me if these are glass or gems, not if...
Oops, I see where you had them tested. The offer still stands in the future.
Tyledom, I would be happy to test these for you if you'd like. I know you don't know me personally so I would understand if you declined, but I...
Thank you Skeezix, I appreciate it. I think it will look nice in my window with the rest of my collection. Nice color with the light through it.

I think I will. I'm not looking to refurbish it, just keep it original as possible.
LOL...those bottles stuck with me. Well, the mineral oil has already done a wonderful job on the ormolu, as seen below. Already a big improvement....
My mom used paraffin wax on her canned jelly. Remember the bottles of wax filled with Koolaid ? I would chew on the bottles after the juice was...
Greg, funny you should mention Butcher's as there is a signature on the underside of Chas. Brutcher. Probably the owner I would think.
OK, so mineral oil and then apply a wax to protect ?
Thank you Fig. Cluttered, I used a small amount of lemon juice to test the ormolu but I will stop. None got on the wood. Thank you for the advice,...
It's true, well...it actually had a price sticker of $20.00 but it was Senior Tuesday with 20% off.
I picked up this vitrine display table at a local TS for $16.00. I can't wait to get my Victorian jewelry into it but I want to clean it up a bit...
