All I know is the clasp didn't start life like that. The clasp itself looks like an old spring ring, but to operate it loose like that you'd need...
Seconded. The clasp is the kind I find and reuse early and often, but the chain is older, probably 50s or 60s.
I like B a bit better. It's got some age to it, and whoever did it had some training.
The front and back look like they're the same color, so either it's never been in the sunlight or it's not as old as it wants to be.
Rock crystal is clear quartz, less likely to break but also far harder to make in the first place. Jacks the price up if used.
The pin looks like really old mourning jewelry. Glasgow came up trumps again! Is the watch holder crystal or rock crystal?
I don't I've ever seen colored Waterford before. Sweet! The Holt Howard... ouch. I felt that SNAP from here. OTOH if it was already cracked it...
There is some similarity, but ...nahh.
Very Jack Nicholson-esque. Caricature sketches were popular for a while in the 50s. It was probably professionally done at a resort somewhere.
Framed after 1829. Maybe a 1929 Colonial Revival piece? Those are round nails, so made by machine.
The date is all wrong before getting any further. That piece looks brand new; an legitimate antique would have signs of age on it somehow.
I'd take a wire cutter to what's holding it. It belongs in the trash can anyway, not on a plate.
If it's Taiwanese it could be 80s, but not a lot earlier.
I'll leave this one for the Stoke-on-Trent experts to chime in on. I'd be thinking 1850s, but beyond that...no clue.
Philippino?
They went online only. The website is still active, but all of the good stuff is 30 years gone.
There is no such thing as "too paranoid" when it comes to eBay. It's one reason I never old any really high dollar items unless they were either...
Made to look like old shipping bottles. No clue if they were ever used or just made for decoration. They'd be great in a restaurant.
You can play with the copy!
The lines look like thermal stress, so they could be more poor storage than age. The glass beads look very modern. Not sure of the rest.
Separate names with a comma.
