Nice set! I purchased a wealthy estates mahjong collection at an on location auction. Very old family, very wealthy. They acquired a handful of...
Nice monogrammed brooch. Mark is a mystery to me. Went back on forth on silver vs. base metal. Probably 2” long or so. Second part of mark looks...
Beat up but I’m just curious about it. Came from the Italian estate I took home a bunch of stuff from. I think Japan or Asia in general when I...
Can’t recall where this came from but it’s been sitting around for a couple years now. First name possibly Frank? Second name looks like it starts...
I suppose that’s a legitimate concern!
That’s a good idea. I’m sure I have something laying around that’d work.
Great form. I like the swallow too.
The trees or these brooches? Trees I assume. That’s a cool idea. I thought of making an ornament from one this year.

I’ll look! Can’t imagine it’s not that. I actually finally went ahead and downloaded the google app so I could do easy image searches. I guess now...
I’ve got the find a threaded spike or figure out a way to repurpose it I guess! edit: I guess it would make a cool stand for a little carving or...
I’ve seen little wired service bells in this shape and size. Like a little bell hooked up to electricity that you could buzz for the help to come...
Thought this piece was super nifty. Figured 20’s-40’s but I seem to recall the safety clasp can stretch back a bit further. It came from the...
[ATTACH] I think it is Thomas West Sherman actually. Not sure he ran for political office either but looks like him.
This little sucker just over 1mm across is dislodged from its original home as part of a pin or coin or some other small object. It’s in a little...
