A waistcoat extender? Looks like one side goes through a buttonhole & the other goes onto the button opposite.
James Tassie made a wildly successful business with impressions of engraved gems: https://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/gems/tassie/default.htm A while...
I have absolutely no idea what this scene is about. Mercury/Hermes & Cupid/Eros hovering over 3 females who do not appear to be the Graces or...
Heard (on the BBC) that power was restored just before midnight. I have to travel to Queens this afternoon & route takes me right through subway...
Is yours also marked Germany somewhere? Sure do look like a pair, although the other has lost the glass for the little drinking hole. Seller...
My guess is that she made a sound that was close to 'mama', like those gizmos that make a mooing sound when you turn them over.
What a shame. I have no place to house them either, but some of the scenes are ones I do not recall seeing before, the one on the creamer, the...

Guess you still have electricity. So do I, but trying to figure whether current power outages are going to affect where I need to go and/or how I...
She's odd. Definitely molded, but an earlier artificial piece. Do you have her or are you trying to make a buying decision based on photos? I'm...
I thought you were referring to the little bit you press to release the clasp as being square instead of round, since these box & tongue clasps...
They are both so well done, have to think cutters got the line of the nose pretty close to correct. Can see the face getting less rounded with...
Too late to correct the original post, so try this one. It's the same seller.
I thought it would turn up for me just by searching for the names together, but nope. It's true that to support a reading of Lamant, I'm making...
Thanks for searching. I'm terrible both at history & recognizing faces, so very handicapped at this pursuit. Suspect neither, even if not same...
Don't let Dumbledore see them.

Separate names with a comma.
