I'd have nabbed that too. I look for WWII sweetheart/mother/homefront jewelry and that's this in spades.
The base is Depression Glass pink. May be American, but that's all I've got.
80s or later even. I'd think they're less than 20 years old if I found them.
I'd wonder if the portrait wasn't a copy of a Georgian painting. It could have been made later; that's been done early and often with other...
Cute little babykins. I was owned by cats for the first 57 years of my life. The cross and the pin may not be an exact match, but they could...
I'm used to lining up here and getting numbers. It's standard. That way they can limit the number coming into the house.

Not any more anyway. My parents' bedroom set is Spanish Revival, bought in 1969-ish.
Did anyone else take one look and think "takeoff on a sad iron"?
All she needs is baking soda and a q-tip, unless simichrome works on red. As far as I know it's not reliable. I'd stick to a damp q-tip dunked in...
Welcome! If you do "crazy and silly" you'll fit right in.
If it turned up in a jumble sale I'd give it house room. I am however a dyed in the wool cheapskate and won't pay market rate. We Murricans never...
That dresser is spectacular. I wouldn't mind having that either. Granny's chair up top wouldn't be in the store 24 hours if it were here. Might...
