I've never seen one of those Revere-style bowls that was real yet, but there must be some solid sterling ones. This one would have had me...
That fits with the eel skin, IIRC.
I'd say Asian, made for export.
Let us watch! Even if we can't go, we can look and drool and may point stuff out. There are a bunch of glassies, potties, furniture geeks and...
There is no such thing as too many penguins - keeps 'em off the Endangered Species list. (glass ones can't hurt, right?) I picked up some royal...
I like eel sushi, but otherwise their best uses are critter chow and "leather".
Either way, that matt needs to go. It's high acid, and acid eats paper.
Welcome! Bring on the pictures of "stuff"!
Generally eelskin is a tough sell, or was the last I looked. Pink can only help.
What the heck is this doing in Militaria when it's supposed to be in Metalware or Antiques? @daveydempsey or @Bookahtoo - can somebody move this?
Silver acid? Not long enough that I used it more than once. Gold? I'm still using the 10 and 14k acids I bought years ago. Ran out of the 18k...
This turned up in a cabinet yesterday. Mom found it in what I thought was printer paper. Oops. Started another thread last night to figure out...
Uhmmmm..... Bunnykins? I'm no ceramics expert.
The last time I looked at retail, and it's been years, the clasps were $10 each in Joann, and they do sell in bulk on eBay for decent prices. I...
Insulated baby dish, methinks. These were popular in the 1930s. The Bunnykins pattern is still being made, or was when I last looked. Some of...
Maybe a hornbill? The profile isn't quite right, but I can see some carver having a giggle.
Gotta ask a glassie about glass! It would have taken me a week to find that.
Seconded. That ropework would be seriously weird on an NA piece. Dead bang on for Bali though.
You've just hit on why many regular sellers/buyers don't bother with the silver acid. It goes "bad" quickly and the tests aren't that reliable.
My mom was hunting for something and dug out a vase I'd forgotten I have. Blue enamel, Chinese for sure. It's signed on the bottom, but I'm...
Separate names with a comma.
