Absolutely! I noted both of your observa to ons as well. I always thought that being a set designer would be a fun job. It started from seeing...
Very high production value at that. The sets and cinematography are beautiful. The acting is pretty good for the most part. I wasn’t sure what to...
I was going to say yeh I’ve heard that a lot of what doesn’t sell just goes to the dumpster.
That’s it. It aired first on Italian television I believe.
If you just search for Medici you’ll find it. I think each season may have a slightly different name. There are three seasons. Dustin Hoffman has...
I’ve found that anytime there is text in the photos of Chinese based sellers of supposedly old looking Chinese items they are fakes. In your links...
I’ve always liked those but never knew anything about them. Thanks for the link. Very interesting building, art, and history. I just finished...
So are you saying they are fraudulently marked as.800? How dare you!!!! J/k I’ve long suspected some European (probably mostly Italian) souvenir...
Awesome thanks for the advice. Must have baking soda around somewhere. Didn’t know celluloid smelled. I don’t even know if I know what camphor...

So instead of buying 409 or trying to furiously rub my thumb over a piece to get it hot I can just lay them out on the porch and sniff them 20...
There are some similarities for sure. I wonder if there was a French Connection there?
She may be a fantasy but she won’t be in my fantasies. I’m not so fond of her. I guess she looks a bit like Princess Diana, face wise.
Thanks for supplying these links. I see a lot of lofty hopes here and on eBay for similar things. I think my setting is unique but not as nice as...
I did very well on a bracelet in this general style before. The rings seem to be more common and not quite as sought after. I’m sure quality and...
Oddly the setting is marked just 18k. I haven’t been able to check the pin itself yet for hallmarks. The back of enamel is marked just “France”....
Even those I can see. The sea monster with monkey is just kind of grotesque (which I like) and a bit ridiculous looking (which I also like). The...
It’s so hilarious that it’s a brooch. It’s funny that it exists at all but that it’s piece of ladies jewelry cracks me up. Great find! I love...
