Oooh thanks!! P was in my backup guesses but I must have forgotten to search that variation.
This stone is in a nice Mexican setting. I had it ID’d I believe but my phone decided to give up the ghost overnight. Working fine as I went to...
This is a neat one! I just bought a 1,000+ lot of of pre ww1 era postcards via online bid at local auction. Didn’t preview lot save for online...
Two things that came in a bag lot at estate sale. There’s some other interesting things in the bag I’ll need an assist on but these two are marked...
I really like it too!! So much to learn! I feel like I have seen that intense yellow on modern woodblocks potentially but not on antique ones....
Thanks for the links/photos. It may just be artists initials in which case it wouldn’t be super helpful probably. If it’s a company mark that...
I didn’t either until I recently acquired a ton of Limoges and started seeing it repeated on them and in reference material. :)
Let us know what it brings if you don’t mind. I’ll be curious to know. I’ve also seen good Asian resin go for ok money. This one to me seems like...
That mark, or one very similar is present on many makers boxes unfortunately for me. I’d say it’s on half of the more of the common manufacturers...

I have a Mexican money clip with abalone inlay. Very handsome piece. Its marked sterling on top of the clip. Under the clip much harder to see...
I don’t know a lot about modern Japanese wood blocks but the colors on the one on left look WAY off for any I have seen that are older. Clearly...
I also just remembered what I was watching before this doc popped up. A neat Sotheby’s short on a German forger of the great masters. [MEDIA]
Added on Any Jewelry’s request. An interesting documentary film on the forging of ancient bronze. Extends to fake antiquities in general....
Sure. I’m assuming none of our frequent posters are buying 1 million dollar Roman heads but unfortunately this kind of thing rolls down hill to...
Has anyone seen one similar before? It just lies on its side I believe. Guessing it may be Mexican in origin based on name and former owners...
Glad you like it! I was left wanting a little more with the ending but I guess that was as much as they had to offer at the time of filming. I...
