If the setting were Northern European it would make sense. Some Swedes were still using them on traditional jewelry well into the 60s. Somebody...
Probably easier to find out who made the engraving equipment than the glass; there were fewer factories making those.
Men not so much, but I've been known to. When the shirts that fit best are menswear 16/34s you might as well go for the French cuffs and wear...
Nice graphics. I was in an antique store today, selling stuff, and the owner had a stack of jigsaws printed on paper but wood-mounted. Didn't...
I have an Atlantic City one, even smaller, marked Sophie. They were a hot souvenir for a while, like stretched pennies.
Very cute. The paper label was from a collector or dealer.
Railroad switch keys, never mind that the locks went in a WWII scrap drive. Someone's crazy idea of those keys being used to derail trains or...
Another clue - all those butter knives. Silverplate sets have one, generally. Maybe two but they won't match. This pile had a ton of them, all...
I've seen them before, made of legit cigar boxes. This one looks like the neck was really a guitar neck. Not hand built from scavenged pieces....
I see brass with a really bad stenciled enamel job. Or a plane flying over a badly drawn a-frame house. It's supposed to be a windmill but it...
The man's ring could be 1930s, 1950s (my first guess) or as late as last year. The ladies ring is a style that was hot a lot earlier, but has...
I'd have to take everything off the stairs to put one of those lift things in, if I had stairs. But I'd have garland all over those balusters...
Good idea! and for once the enamel was intact. Someone didn't know what that was!
Thanks Ghopper. I guess we know who the Victoriana person is in here!
I'd give that house room any old time. No idea whodunnit though, or where. A cheap diamond tester ought to be able to tell you what those stones...
I probably would have used Lemmein! But I was raised by cats.
Images of the backs help.(LOL) I've found plenty of silverplate in those roll things, so they don't mean much to me. The mixed mushel of...
Thanks. Hope so. I figured the price was fair but not spectacular and was hoping the key guys and the crafters would get into a tussle ... and...
Thanks! I bought these years ago at a yard sale for no known reason. Paid a whole buck. Actually that was the reason. It even came with the...
Whee! The certificate matched the big box, but there was no set in that set. Some of it looked like silver but some I wasn't sure. at my local...
