Thanks Taupou and komokwa! It was tossed into a pile at the auction, so I have nothing in it. It does have value to me because I learned...
Hi All, I don't have a clue on this one. It came from a large collection that had many really nice old pieces as well as many fakes. Looks...
We find these around here, but with round holes, in exactly the same sizes. Ours are fruit gauges or sizers for sorting and grading fruit. This...
Thanks to all.
Haven't been able to puzzle this thing out. Not even a plausible guess. The symbol seems somehow familiar. Rivet bumps are cosmetic. [ATTACH]...

Ooops, double posted......
That skeleton key does not go to the padlock. It is a door lock key. The padlocks used a flat key. The red background color is correct....

This information is much appreciated! I'm finding quite a lot of Inuit artists with that name. Thanks also to all who looked and weighed in as...
Size? Can you show us the bottom please?

DW and I are debating what this piece represents. She thinks Mother and Child. I'm leaning towards Seal hugging a Whale (or rock or something.)...
#1 for us would be country auctions, preferably at a run-down farm that hasn't had an auction for generations, if ever. They get scarcer every...
Is there a magnetic drill in there somewhere? I've seen them used for machinery repairs in shipyards. (They just hate when someone unplugs the...
