Pretty much. Legit old concert posters usually have tack or tape marks too, where they were put on walls or taped up in dorms. Usually the first...
They call those cookies Girl Scout Crack. That's either genius or evil genius at work.
Had to go look. Recognized some of those right off, by the style if not the image itself. The fun part is figuring out first state vs repop for...
Spring is playing with mortars, looks like!
Most antique dealers/small shops can still get away with selling it. The regulatory agencies have too much to do to bother with antique bits....

I knew that embroidery work had to be Chinese, but not that it was associated with Manila or fados. Neat.
The flower painting isn't up to snuff either, but I like the colors. It would be great for making color in the middle of Winter. As long as you...
Sewing doo-dads, a page cutter/turner/weight, and your card case. That case is definitely not elephant-friendly and that page turner isn't...
The mark looks more like a fake Sevres than a fake/real Meissen mark. To me anyway. The floral decoration definitely looks Germanic, but that's...
Both suitable for making my brain crazy, since it expects to be able to figure them out and obviously can't.
Went out in the heat today. The ReStore was closed for whatever reason, but I scored big enough to use the 5% off $20 discount in the Ill Will....
