I've had a few silver ZIPPOs. I think they're really sleek. I have a 1937-style "vintage-look" one with the art-deco corner-slashes, in sterling...
I've seen tokens and chips like these made of everything from bone to MoP. As the others have said, I don't think they're for any specific game....
Yes I'm aware of that. As for the case, it's literally falling apart. It's a simple briefcase-style case. No handle, no catches, barely any hinges.
MJ sets have been made from bone & bamboo for over 100 years. This set is probably from the 30s-50s. Can't really be more precise than that,...
Trying to restore the tiles. Before... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] ...and after. These tiles are so worn out, they require not just painting, but also...
Thanks for all the responses guys, it's given me a lot to think about. I've done more research about this, and I haven't found any information...
The seller reckoned this was from the 1920s or 30s, but the style of the case makes me think it's more likely post-WWII. It's very worn out, but...
I've been collecting and repairing fountain pens for about 20 years, give or take. It's a very enjoyable hobby.
Yeah, there's so many other things I could buy with that kinda money. Seems a waste to blow it all on one thing that isn't like, a car, or a...

I know somebody who owns one. IT CHONKKEH!!! Average price online (ebay, etc) is about $10k, from what I've seen.
I have the Sterling, that'll do for now. Next one is the 18kt gold 149!! But that's like $10,000. I don't have that many spare kidneys!!
When I bought the pen, the piston-action filling-mechanism was very stiff. If you don't remedy this, you risk snapping the mechanism in half,...
Been after one of these for years...and I finally got one! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here it is alongside my Sterling Silver Pinstripe 146, and the...
Well if it's sterling, I'll keep it.
No. I only got it today.
Well if it's from the 1930s, it'd be pretty worn by now I imagine. I see no reason why it would be a fake.
Been after a neat little silver notepad like this for years. Finally landed one a couple of weeks ago. Nearly missed out on buying it. Any idea...
Probably because people are all hoping for this to happen......
Oh I've heard this story LOADS OF TIMES. My aunt wanted my two cousins to be SUPER SUPER MULTI TALENTED. Calligraphy, Chinese, Japanese,...
