It would be. With only one name and no real location to tie him to, locating the man's family would be difficult at best. And Mississippi...oy.
The mug was painted by hand, either by a hobbyist or a professional blank china painter. No idea of why mice.
There are collectors out there for the paperwork. It deserves to exist, especially since it may be the only proof this man ever lived. Local...
Those were horse bosses originally. That one may always have been a pin. Some were converted once horse harness wasn't in use much any more.
Works for me! Extra points if the move.
Welcome to the Antiques Addict (or antique addicts) Ranch!
Hopefully fake. Having the real thing around would give me nightmares. Copies would be bad nauseating, but not as bad.
I'd vote for putting them in a museum too, where they can be seen. They're a piece of history, a tangible part most often collected in the USA by...
Just a junky diamond tester, but it needs a fresh 9-volt.

CKL 1970? Beyond that, you've got me.
Cute. The doll has had a better time of it than the real Caroline did. (first her father and uncle, then her brother, and then her...
Simple if I knew it... can't apologize for telling the truth or posting a requested photograph. I'm on the Spectrum, so if there's something I'm...
Besides, I couldn't run off a house spider IRL. :chicken::chicken::chicken: (and wouldn't anyway; I like things that eat bugs.)
Around here that fiver sounds about right too, more's the pity. The market for pretties has gone away, and if it's coming back it's taking the...
On second look, is that a blessed demantoid garnet? If so that was not a cheap ring. They're pricier than some good emeralds.
In the design books they showed "Dad" grilling steaks over a wood fire in that thing. I bet that was only in the design books, because if you did...
Separate names with a comma.
