You'd need a small army to make a dent in THAT - aka a good crowd at an estate sale. And they're paying you to haul it off. I love when that...
It was made somewhere between 1890 and 1894. Maker is New Wharf Pottery (later Wood & Sons). http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/772a.htm...
It's a piece of carved bone, but that's all I'm sure of.
Cold-painted I think. They were often done at home and I can't see Jane Homemaker having a high-temp kiln kicking around. Every time I see a...
I can see it. Clip runs fine here in the USA.
Also a "Darnitt darnitt darnitt" if the husband saw you in it. I don't see an escape hatch.(LOL)
Really thin for stinkin' hot weather and no a/c back then.
It's an Omega necklace. To me it looks like electrical conduit, but...(LOL)
Holy moly! No wonder you didn't even want to try dealing with it! I wouldn't either, but if I were in better shape and closer by I'd be in there...

For me it was a bunch of warning signs: it's all the same set, some is in the sealed plastic baggies, and it's in the original box. I've found...
Score! I went to a charity thrift and an antique store today and found a way to spend money on gasoline.
Click the picture with the mark in it. I did, pulled my glasses down, and saw the .800 mark upside-down.
#4 was dead easy for me; there's a clear silver mark in the second picture and they're not weighted. You'd have liked the pieces I scored on...
When I bend over "if you can see it, it's probably for sale." (LOL)
Nice score; I can't imaging there's a lot of it around, given the time period and what else was going on.
