The tag must have come off at some point.
All I saw was the "inspector" in the first shot. (can you tell I was raised by cats or what?)
That would be it! I've never seen a Hobè piece that old.
It's probably more of a latch than a lock, so a skeleton key is all you'll need. I'd imagine buying a few antique keys and trying to see what...
No dice so far, but you never know. It's in my "gift" pile rather than the "sell" pile so it'll be here a while.
I haven't seen it much on older pieces, if at all, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. Just the plain .925 that is. If it's part of a full...
Afghanistan? Yep. I'd go with that. No particular great age on it either.
Those stones look like 1930s/Deco era blue for sure. Either the brooch is from then or during WWII when they used what they could find. Most...
I have, and that one wasn't signed either, but it was sterling. I'd check the metal on this. If it's mixed odds go way up on it being done by a...
Get a box that fits it before listing. Pack it up and measure/weigh. Run that through a calculator to see if shipping gets you stuck with DIMM...

I.E., if a guy stationed in Germany (and his wife, since this isn't something a guy on his own would buy) brought this back it wouldn't surprise...
That looks bench-made almost. Possible custom work; big factories didn't do the fancy stuff in the back. I expected it to be a dress or fur clip...
And if you put it on line, be prepared to ship to Asia. I can see it going to a new home in China or South Korea very easily.
If these are those tapes, I'm not sure who owns them legally, but if they can be sold ....wheeeeee! College is paid for!
Alaskan pictures? That's a bighorn sheep. I wonder of @komokwa recognizes him.
Probably did. It looks like a good souvenir to take home, a big step up on the typical that I see here.
Filled with slivovitz? I can see plum brandy in that one.
Same here. Some of it's nice, but not at those prices. A local charity shop got given some and sold it at a "bargain" of half retail. I pay...
My dad wouldn't have noticed the china until there was food on it! Me, I notice if a piece of bubble wrap isn't where I put it.
