It's difficult to see (even in person, much less in a picture) but the diamond shaped patterns, excluding the portrait panels, appear to have been...
I found this unusual bowl on Friday. It appears to be copper covered in another metal. It measures approximately 12" x 12". Its repousse and...
In researching this piece I've found a couple more, practically identical, examples which appear to be from the same time period. I was always...

I found this "toy" today and was wondering what the proper name for these are (and if anyone may know how old it is). Its two pieces, about 25"...

I found this in a box of other military buttons and I can't seem to locate it. It has so much going on in it that I'm not even sure what to enter...
I was informed that it may be a grenade launcher assembly. Now I just have to try and match it up. I was told possibly SKS but we'll see.
