That wouldn't surprise me.
And they're pretty. I bet there's another reason, but "for pretty" is good enough for now.
These are blanks. No one ever had their name carved in. Intentionally maybe if sold as souvenirs.
I have a hunch that they were made to commemorate an anniversary of some sort, using old logos. There may have been more than one design. I'd bet...
As long as it's inactive, I'd probably just leave it alone. Think Statue of Liberty vs something that looks darker green and gunky and comes off...
The hyphenated name turned up on jewerly between 1920 (country didn't exist before that) and 1936, when they got chomped by the scumbag Nazis....
Both! They had clean streets when Europeans were still tossing piss pots out of windows.
Knowing the Japanese, they were better at deskunking them than we were.
no idea. It's as safe to burn as it ever was, but it may smell like the inside of an outhouse. It depends on how well the ingredients aged.
That geode looks ... hairy.(LOL)
Saw it. Piscitelli, above it, I know well, but Polcini is a first.
The Ken Edwards piece would sell nicely on line; there's a market. I'd have snatched up those Native carvings too, provided Komo didn't get there...
I didn't know they even made stereocards this late. Must have been special order only.
The set was probably done for family only, and you scored one that escaped into the wild.
That could be too. Signed and dated would make sense.
It's a beaut. Going to redecorate the rest of the kitchen to match?
I agree. Indonesian probably, or even Thai, but not Native American.
I think the second one is J something S -something. It's 61 out of 2000, so it was made in a decently-sized workshop.
They're often set in gilt silver, but sometimes in gilt brass. The Czechs were known to mix real stones and glass if they needed a certain size.
I think the bottom pair of earrings may be Victorian and may have been really old screwbacks. Either a back broke or some jackanapes replaced them...
Separate names with a comma.
