Whitby Jet has held up better than Benny and the Jets ever could - mohair suits and electric boots had a short shelf life. I blind-lucked into a...
Brass and bone, made in India most likely. I can't read the language on the newspaper, but it looks like an Indian language written in the Latin...
Too bad it wasn't Hobbler? :)
No, but I bet its creators/owners do.
More names I've never seen, but my knowledge of European mainland costume is pitiful.
It's from somewhere they do both nice enamel and that granulation work. An Indian smith could probably do it, but the front really doesn't look...
As if! There seems to be a prong missing. I'd bet whatever was in there originally fell out. Somebody put an old picture of the wife/mom/bestie...

"Easy" way to find out - is that visible jewel a real or lab-created ruby? Synthetic ruby jewels became the standard fairly early on once they...
Old school sea jet! "Rock"in!

I bet Komo would have spotted it. Box lots can be the best because they don't describe much of anything, and if only one person knows what...
Can't say I was paying attention. It's newer than anything I'd buy, and with the glass top it would have been too risky to have in the house for...
Or the member of the CT legislature who rolled her official state car the other night! Drunk as a skunk.
I think it's relatively recent. The image looks like it's on plastic and the frame is recent-ish. She'd sell though, nekkid ladies always do.
Yep - Chinese marks are often honorific. They mean "in the style of" rather than an actual date. It's a pretty vase, and if you like it and want...
I'd be thinking Mexican, but I'm no expert. The glass color of the base is more theirs than Italian.
I thought it was rice-based, but another recipe says it can also be coconut milk. Never heard of a "tiger milk" version....
Separate names with a comma.
