The dude in the cameo has the beard to go with them. No idea when that was popular in the UK.
Totally appropriate.
OTOH it could just be a pocket piece or the brass off a paperweight. It's a reminder that G-D has an app for that. He/she made the mountain, and...
The real NCC-1701 never flew under her own steam either, so....(LOL) I'd say they named the right one.
No idea about the USSB. If it were a commercial ship they would have spelled out the name, and if was Navy wardroom spelled out for sure.
I recognize this one. A usable coffee table for $35 is a good deal if you like the design.
And just TRY and find a solid board seat new, at any price. If it's a decent price, bring it home and give it a nice beeswax polishing and sit in...
I'd have rescued that too. It's probably tourist art, but if so it's good tourist art and not the usual tat.
She's probably been there from the jump, so I'd be fine leaving well enough alone. That might lead to search results for hybrid tea roses and...
They looked like someone with training to me, but not a professional. Maybe copying from postcards?
It's hotel silverplate from the looks of it; maybe the cow was a reference to the establishment rather than the contents. The lid is hinged, and...
And I just wish I was the one to find it! They probably thought they were International Silver, aka good plant-holders. $571 in scrap for $11...
That's because everyone calls them dolphins. And you'll notice, no seam lines on that sturgeon. It was cast in one piece and then plated.
The electronic ones are Nut$o prices. Good gem testers too. I have a cheap diamond tester that gives me enough information to start from, but...
The flower looks like a forget-me-not, which may or may not be relevant.
I just finally saw this thread. Saw probable silver right off - those seams were an alarm bell. The ones cast in one piece are always plated or...
My first guess would be Hanau marks of some sort, but I'm no expert.
If the one on the left has a silver clasp, I'd buy it and scrap it. Keeping the clasp for another use of course. Sterling clasps are worth more...
I'd scratch this on the stone, and hit the scraping with 18k gold acid. If the scrape is silver the metal will turn white and "curdle" up off the...
Certainly possible. I've seem similar ones before, and they do make beads from opaque aquamarine. The grad Z stuff.
Separate names with a comma.
