Any takers on a bet that the auger bit is the most valuable?
I'd wonder about it being a souvenir piece.
Starting price is $200. Where it goes, who knows. One shell as byne's disease, but the black and white "shell" is hard stone.
It's a totally usable table and restrained enough to fit into a flat-pack minimalist's decor. Small enough to fit into a smaller apartment too....
It does make you wonder about why the seller bought the idea that Vargas painted that poor girl in picture 1. My first thought was her eyebrows...
Yup. I've seen rock crystal carved that way. My first throught was rhodochrosite, but I'm curious about what the rock hounds will say.
The fabrics look old, but I have no idea when they were sewn together. The brocade on the back does look French and old.

THe one on the left is William III of the Netherlands. It looks like someone drilled it as a charm or a fob. It's totally legible, which rather...
You can't upload the wrong way; the board software barfs when you try. But welcome!
Check the stick too; sometimes the bow is where the money is. One of my finds today... a 120 straight-load camera for $3. Zeiss Ikon lens, only...
They used to make souvenir "mites" for tourists to take home. i even found one here somehow, made a greeting card out of it.(LOL)
