Good looking one! I have a hard time selling my good, relatively old African carvings for good money. My African stuff in general which I have a...
Any idea what these are for? I haven’t seen them until now. Ring boxes? Salt? Another condiment? Also when would they likely be from? [ATTACH]...
Ooh interesting, yeh that’s a possibility!
Thanks for the tips. I have looked up instructions. The problem is that they vary widely. Either the people giving instructions don’t know what...
I’ll try it out once I remember where I put this. The other thing that confuses me is that there seems to be different types of acid. The ones I...

It’s crazy to me the stuff descendants don’t want. From the valuable, to the cool, to personal. Thinking about it many don’t care but for many...
Thank you for confirming. I should have gone with my gut and looked British off the bat.
You know what, the mark looked British to me. Because of the lack of hallmarks I didn’t bother looking there though. I almost did 5 different...
Can’t tell if this is BB, BF, or BE? Anyone know the mark? Can’t find a good match for any of them. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Sadly that reference is over my head as well. Outside of British Invasion rock and then punk history and a little military I’m not much up on...
Excellent! Always learning, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I’ll do some more looking.
Right over my head that’s for sure. You’re a sad fan of Metcalfe, Scarlet, or both?
