I'd think no particular style beyond "vague ethnic". The beads look like black glass, marking this as likely mass-produced in a factory. It's a...
Thanks. Thought so. I have no idea what they sell for, but it cost pennies and was cool to see. Yep - surprised me. The back is sealed. I've...
Northeast USA. We get jack squat for good Indian pieces. I did see a real campaign chest in person once, but only once. We get a fair bit of the...
Found 'em. The scar-killer was the brass inkwell. No liner and no whodunnit. 1928 shortwave instruction book that was published maybe five miles...

I wonder if the guys on Cointalk would like to mess around with it. That's our sister board.
Pretty stuff, but a tough sale these days. Forty years ago it was a hot ticket, but now.. good luck with anything Japanese. I was at an estate...
They're some sort of plastic. I'd cheerfully make a necklace of them, but they're not amber.
I found precisely ONE Monghyr box when I googled just that. It was sold at Bonhams with an estimate of 1000+ GBP. No idea what it actually...
Whoooooo! Sweet! Note: things to keep your eyes open for at estate sales. I could have had a modern Mediterranean box today, but... modern. The...
It doesn't look quite like amazonite either. Darned it I can remember the one I'm thinking of.
Some theoretically could restore one, but... yeahno. Sooner or later someone collecting Anglo-Indian silver will realize these would make a...
