Beats me, but they sure are pretty.
A modern take on "evil eye" jewelry. :wideyed::wideyed::wideyed:
Late 60s, possibly Ethan Allen. I have its siblings in back of me, stuffed full of junk. Tough and well-made but no antique/collector value....
It's essentially a magnifying glass with a built-in stand that folds up. That way you're looking at the rug through a preset distance. They were...
A jewelry-making class special! Copper back, random metal ring shank. The top is probably glass; they generally were, fused in a kiln designed...
Those cups made for a single serving made with loose tea were a hot gift item in the 80s. No one ever used them, just gave them as gifts. I...
I had a round one with that sort of work on the back once. My cousin bagged it before I could even get a photo. I bet it was Hobè too.

Maybe two people wanted Grandpa's or Grandma's old plate and weren't going to stop until they got it. The jade pendants went a little nuts too....
Sometimes you have to wonder how something lasted long enough for you to find it, and sometimes they bring it out and waggle it in front of your...
Not since you've had it anyway, but that pin's older than a lot of us posting.
I take photos primarily through a vintage to antique rug magnifier. My dad used it for stamps and it was used when he got it. The lens fits...
Carved wooden fruit was a 60s/70s "thing" here. A lot of wooden bits came from Kenya years ago, and others came from Nigeria. Either would make...
Separate names with a comma.
