There are a couple more embarrassing moments I won't tell but there is one that is antique related. I sold a piece if unmarked matte green Weller...
I did not see the step-back cupboard with hutch. Can't tell if it is truly old or just a wannabe from this picture. If old, it would be from the...
You would get next to nothing at most brick and mortar auctions for these. A private sale would be the way to go. Whether arranged through ebay...
