You have posted some wonderful things, and I generally feel inadequate on commenting on them. My American view is admittedly centered on American...
I certainly remember these in use at a lot of different places. Handy thing to have when doing transactions on the fly.
Just realized that there is actually 3 different fabrics.
I was in the Marshall Fields antiques dept. once when I was a kid in the 60s. I remember it as being pricey. I know at some point, long before...
I didn't see these in person. Just saw someone post on a FB group for thrift store finds. If you look closely, the second set has framework that...
Nice find this week at the thrift store. 6" diameter sterling bowl by Fisher in the style of Georg Jensen. They haven't put out any sterling in...
Here are a couple sofas people posted as thrift store finds on the Internet. I don't know where or how much they were. Just thought so over the...
I am getting the Home Good's vibe but could be wrong. I would have bought it too.
Great sleuthing and a nice find!
I think your analysis is pretty good. Definitely not later reproductions. I am not sure I would ascribe 18th century to these without more...

Thought I would show a couple oddities I picked up. The Lavoris teeth chart came from a thrift store several weeks ago. Found the tooth...
I see that image search is showing the deer as Navajo. Thought it could be with the turquoise.
Here are the other pieces I got the same day. This leaf pin is stamped. No marks. No marks on the deer. Only 1 1/2" tall. Bar pin is Leonore...
Have done some more searching and just not finding this mark, other than the one pin on ebay. It is item #166385320762. The mark on it is just...
It is Giovanni. Took me awhile to figure it out. There is a shield before the G. Was able to find another with this mark on eBay. It is a...
Picked this up for a buck. Looks older than any other Giovanni jewelry I find. Different mark. Definitely cast. Any chance this is solid...
Ditto the above.... Wood appears to be maple with a stain. Not a typical American design so could be European in origin. Ok to repair it. Looks...
Not likely. The color is not all that odd. Robinson Ransbottom did some glazes like this. See some Zanesville forms done by them showing up...
I think that is a very good possibility. That glaze doesn't look right for B-McC. Also doesn't seem to have the appropriate age, nor does the...
