The lettering in quotes is not “Burma”, it’s กัมพูชา or “Kambucha” (a common Thai word for Cambodia, and the picture is indeed a scene from...
Yes, Thai artist.
Thai writing. But rather strange and I can't make out the general subject, given the short segments. Unusual size, too. Maybe a teacher's pointer...
That's Khmer script, so it was made in Cambodia. If it's not marked for silver, it could be silver plated. Early to mid 20th century.
Thai, but only the bottom line is written in Thai. (If your final photo was clearer I could read it. But it's probably just the name of a temple...
900 silver would not likely be Thai. My guess is Yogyakarta, Cambodia, or India, in that order. Early to mid 20th century.
points all taken. . . thanks
Thank you! Looks like my searches were incomplete. The photo for that one is of The Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda, but the ISBN is correct, so...
This book does not seem like it should be so rare. 1978 by a common publisher. Yet I can find only one copy anywhere online (abebooks), and it was...

I believe the first New Directions hard cover edition of Sartre’s Nausea came out in 1949. All of them that I can find online have title and...
Good question. I imagine there would be many over the past 222 years, such as the passenger pigeon. But I won't be able to make much use of these...

Thanks all. "The French Republican Calendar, also commonly called the French Revolutionary calendar, was a calendar created and implemented...
I picked up some old French natural history books, published somewhere between the 1600s and 1800s, but they are dated with some weird Roman...
Salvador de la Serna is also in that Little Book of Mexican Silver. And at any given time there are usually several items of his on eBay. I just...
