I was definitely very skeptical about the age. I’m not good a dating cast iron yet but the seam on the bars the letters are attached to doesn’t...
Found this for sale locally when posting some of my stuff. Owner wants $60 which seems like a great deal if you’re in the market for a well made...
Beautiful little piece! I love the way enamel/cloisonné on copper and brass looks.
Eh, this reinforcement will ensure I remember next time I’m writing about butter pads. ;) Edit: I mean pats, butter pats. I’ll put pads of butter...
Ah yeh. Hoped no one noticed that but I did catch it. ;)
Although I still need to figure out the era I just realized lol. They only said from 1900-1940 in that link. I got excited about sale price and...

Wow that was quick. Just edited post to mention Knights Templar graphic. This is the only one with De Molay that I recall. All different names and...
I purchased a box lot of antique leather rifle scabbards at auction a couple weeks ago. There had to have been at least twenty in the box. To my...
Found this cool frame at an estate sale this weekend. I believe it’s for tintype photos. Can’t imagine it’s worth more than a few bucks but it’s...
Thanks!
Thanks I was thinking European as well. Do you mean check it for silver content? Or check silver marks for a match? Certainly doesn’t look like...
Thanks so much! I don’t think anyone will be able to get that first one. If you already knew the mark from memory it may look familiar enough to...
Separate names with a comma.
