Yes, I spotted that too. It looks rather...crude. That's one reason why I was hesitant.
I mean, the Ys on the eBay links line up this time, so...? *shrug*
Not wanting to get stung a second time, I thought I should consult the Powers that Be, before making an offer on them. Are these cufflinks real?...
Crown-wind pocketwatches date back as far as the 1840s, I believe, but they didn't become common until the 1880s and 90s - mostly in America, and...
Going just by what I can see - they look extremely old. But I won't know anything else without more photos. My guess is 1700s or very-early-1800s....
Impossible to tell anything just from those photos, but my feeling is that they are very, very old.
definitely an opium lamp. I think it's missing the glass chimney at the top. The chimney would protect the flame, but also concentrate the heat....
Definitely "HAZORFIM". Which would make it a sterling silver Judaica kiddush cup, with gilt wash interior. Very smart :) For obvious reasons,...

These pieces are all dated 'm'. What range of dates would that include? I can't find any information on the internet.
About 50 years old, so 60s-70s vintage. Each piece marked "TIFFANY & CO. STERLING". I'm expecting another nephew or niece in the new year, and...

Ooh that is pretty!! I don't have that kinda money to engrave this case, though.
That's my feeling, too. It came with all the relevant 'accouterments', too. Box, bag, pouch, all look like the real thing. I see no reason to...
No, it wasn't. Completely different seller.
