An expert on Asian antiques I follow recommends nothing more than a light wipe with a damp cloth and a very light application of oil to give the...
I’ve got a couple little dogs like yours that I think are eyevoree but I never examined them too hard. Then I have this thing. It’s one of my...
Interesting looking doog! I bet she’s cool. My folks have a former 3-4 breeder bull dog. She’s a sweet gal. They worked her for sure.
Sweet looking pup! How big?
Could also be Tagua Nut (vegetable eyevoree) but surface doesn’t look as lustrous as tagua often can be. I’d vote bone. Aqua mentioned a clearer...
What a stunning piece! I don’t love too many on their website but this one is fanfrickintastic. Purple is my favorite color so I’m a bit partial...
Wine coasters sell for good money. Nut dishes not so much. Becomes a convenient mistake at that point eh?
Yeh I was referencing the fairly modern stuff maybe 1980’s or 1990’s to present. Love the older Chinese silver! I’ve seen some modern stuff...
Fershur!
Monogram custom made or factory design? I assume the former? Not marked that I can tell other than the giant CBB. Came in a lot from auction....

First Mustang off the line in 65’ probably adds a significant value. 1st HSN ring off the line in 2015 I can’t imagine it adding much more than...
I made no claim, the buyers did with their bids though! I get what you’re saying. Something the elite had, not the regular well off probably. It...
A pack of drunk kangaroos could burst through your door and insist on boxing you. Unlikely, but technically possible.
To be fair eBay takes 12-14% on most categories. I agree you need go find a better refiner though. Even if you’re happy with 50-60, I think you’d...
Love that! Looks that old to me.
I never knew the D was for dollar!! That’s so interesting. I knew it indicated a likely NY origin but not the dollar part. Very cool.
Well bought! Bravo! List it all as a lot on eBay at like 10-20% higher than current melt. Include the word “scrap” in your listing but note in the...
I think they are just that uncommon. I found some similar silver ephemera in an old chest that belonged to an employee of one of the big silver...
