I was going to say, it looks like one I had to clean my flute when I took lessons. (donated the flute years ago) A bit bigger of course.
Welcome! We like curbside shopping in here! There's a town near me with some stupidly wealthy areas and a friend goes curbside shopping the...
Oddly the only thing I"ve heard of Ciaran was what I've read here and then went to Google News. Looks like a fun time was had by nobody except...
When I was little, Hershey's sold Almond Bark, a white "chocolate" bar with almonds in it. They were good, if you were a little kid.
I took a PMC class in the next town over. The class itself wasn't expensive, but the class materials were NOT cheap. That said I'd do it again,...
Old pieces aren't marked if they're solid bakelite. Once in a while something that's partly metal has markings on it, but those are usually 50s...
Finally got the (blurry) pix uploaded from the estate sale. The 14k bits are in my purse, awaiting the scrapper. I did try to get a better...

I was going to say, any antique lighting dealer would be jumping up and down to find one of those.
I don't parallel part too well, and walk even worse. Walking any distance is out of the question. I have in the past helped out the local art...

Smart wife! I'm a dark chocolate girl, generally, but anything with nuts is fair game! White chocolate is only good for baking (reverse...
I almost like some of it, but most doesn't "sing". Even the real pieces. I usually leave anything marked "Dali" where I found it, just because of...
Good question. I can sometimes tell in person, but I'm no expert.
Seconded. Location is a BIG factor. I'm assuming North America, because there wasn't a market overseas. Unless some GI moving house took it along...
It's really hard to date these. Grandma could have had it for two years or fifty-two.
I'd give that house room, if I had a front hallway.
They use what comes handy, which when you're in the back end of nowhere when it comes to supplies, can be just about anything.
That's just ...weird. Generally a piece made that late will be marked for metal content. Some artisan pieces aren't, at least legibly, but mass...
I've seen them with real coral and real lapis, even in nickel settings. Just to make life even more complicated.
Separate names with a comma.
