THere goes that theory.
IIRC swagger sticks didn't have the metal caps on the end - no need. Walking sticks did unless they fell off. It took me a while to remember,...
I'd have hauled off that Russian lacquer box so fast.... I hit four thrifts today. Came home with padded mailers, a pin dish, and some...
The one where they hammered the gold and silver into the cast iron, or something else? My brain wouldn't kick the name lose either - damascene.
On second look a lot of those are already drilled, making life much easier.
Around here, $20 at a yard sale. Maybe. There isn't much call for them.

This one's a classic "if you like it, hang it" painting. I'd say factory piece too.
It's actually not too bad - no worse than the average vet bill! Or a California house.
Genie came from a New York rescue too; she was found in a colony, but colony cat she ain't. Can't catch a mouse and won't eat anything but "her"...
Same here. That toggle gives it away.
Separate names with a comma.
