Haven’t gotten out to do much detecting this year. When I have the good finds have been a bit light. This sweet little button came up yesterday....
No markings at all on this one. It’s been rode hard and put away improperly. About 2’x3’. Looks similar to Inuit stone or wood cuts. Not sure how...
This one is a mystery to me. Is it a Chinese parader with a mythical bear/lion costume? NWC NA or African tribal dancer? None of the above? Not an...
[MEDIA] Interesting watch thus far. I’ve never bid in a Christie’s auction. For those of you that have, what’s your experience been like? I...
I only got to see the side of the basket before I bought it. I wasn’t sure it wasn’t African or something. Seeing the bottom I’m more inclined to...
ABP? Anyone know the pattern or maker? Unsigned. I’m not good with this type of glass. Came unexpectedly in a lot. Either a few pieces weren’t...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Not of much consequence but anyone know this makers mark via the little charm/tag.
This came in a collection I purchased a few years back. I posted another from the collection recently. This carving captured my imagination...
Not really sure what this is? A mould or model/form? Marked Mossberg Mfg Co. 281. Any ideas? There’s the Mossberg firearm company but there could...
Apologies if I’ve posted this before. I don’t think I have. I’ve always wondered the origin. I guess it’s effectively just a letter opener or page...
Was hoping our Inuit specialists might be able to help ID the marks on this one. I purchased a good size collection a few years ago off a social...
Grabbed this yesterday on whim. Hoping someone can explain the tassels or ties emanating from the reverse? Around 70% of the homes contents were...
I was looking for a couple spoons I sold recently and came upon this one. I honestly don’t recall even owning it. No clue when or where it came...
