Always like these old handmade utilitarian pieces. Born of necessity, the artistry was not forgotten.
Great finds! I would have grabbed those in a nanosecond. Can certainly see the Sandzen influence.
I, also, think pre-war.
I think F. Pogue. Does have a WPA feel about it. Though this was obviously for sale at some point, I don't think by a trained professional...
I just didn't see those as balls. It is an interesting lamp. 70s Spanish revival with that metal base. Looks like it could be satin glass, and...
I don't see three orange balls. The orange lamp probably is 70s but just another inexpensive ginger jar lamp. The only thing going for it is the...
Hoo boy! .... Sounds a lot like my own situation with a lot of lamps and parts, though what I have tends to be older and/or more collectable. I...
Sure has the attributes of being right. Rago would know.
Hard saying. Made the same way for many many years. India could also be a source. There are also reproductions being made. This looks better...
Surprised that the one Chinese cabinet could be Broyhill. If so, I think it diminishes the value over a legitimate Chinese example. Possibly not...
First piece and clocks appear Germanic in origin, though the first piece could also be French or Belgian. I doubt the white clock was originally...

Exceptional! We just don't see anything like this over here. If we did, I would be in trouble..... :rolleyes:
No progress in getting the back cleaned. Vinegar and water does nothing. Strong solvents do nothing. The adhesive is more like a fine grain...
Was thinking of trying vinegar on the concrete. Chipping it off will most likely damage the tile. The center tan portion seen is where it is...
Looks a bit like burl walnut but could be some sort of exotic hardwood. Thuya and koa wood come to mind but there are others.
Recent thrift store acquisition. Tan/buff clay so maybe Ohio? 9" diameter x 1" thick. Back encrusted with adhesive and concrete. Any ideas?...
This is a good line but, even at half price, that is expensive.... Particularly for just a headboard. Maybe not so bad on the dresser. The last...
The case alone should be worth $15-20.00. You probably should have sold the bottles for a buck a piece and sold the case separately.
Finally sold these silver earrings after a little over 2 years. Was worth the wait. Got my full asking price of $175.00 for them, but someone got...
Separate names with a comma.
