Next is a butterscotch Bakelite set in an OK sturdy box. 152 of these including jokers. And long multicolored Bakelite racks, with four curious...
This topic is interesting info for me, since I too have three sets that I have never researched. From I believe newest to oldest, here is a...
Not really wacky. Just not purely chronological. The numbers may have to do with the need to write on the negative? I don’t know how that was...
I know a surprising amount and could probably trace down the family, but this came from an estate cleanout and wasn’t wanted by the family....
I wouldn’t. Doesn’t have the clean lines of MCM. Curved top and top drawers; gold? strip between the doors; decorative hardware handles;...
Going through misc stuff I’ve accumulated for unknown reasons, came across a photo album of an American touring Europe and the Middle East in...

I have mostly collected 18th century New England, and danish MCM furniture, but I also love the aesthetic of early 20th Art Deco. So when I see a...
These are good pics, but it would be good to have one of the whole front to see age of glass. Can’t tell from these whether glass replaced. The...
Ghopper quite correctly said “in the manner of” RJ Horner. The truth is that there were many, many furniture companies in the US borrowing each...
Not to an antique collector. But in good condition some value to a person who likes and needs it for use in their home. The difficulty is in...
I agree this is very frustrating and you deserve and should have received better. I always look for your posts. On the bright side, at least you...
