Very nice. Could be silver or nickel. I lean toward silver since it has a monogram. It's missing the large shade (cloth) which would fit atop the...
I forgot to add that these slides are often made into costly bracelets. They're quite interesting. You can find a few of these bracelets listed on...
I've tried cork with good results for a little while but the cork quickly crumbles and you're back where you started. I've had the best results by...
I really like this piece and I believe that here in the Northwest I could probably have no problem selling this piece for about $500. The glass...
