That's a good possibility. The marks are on there any which way up.
Could be a part of the scaffolding too. Hard to say without seeing it.(LOL)
We used to use "mink oil" to waterproof winter boots, back when. That might keep the uck from the chips from getting onto the ottoman too. Or...
The fact that a piece is broken off probably explains why it was in the box it was found in.
I should have known Mr Nate would like it. (LOL) Mostly busted off.
It's got a piece broken off that flipped up somehow. I got the KK part but not the rest; it's probably a maker's mark.
I don't think so. For $10 the box it was probably a good deal.(LOL)
I found this in a box lot of random jewelry on Saturday. It has a somewhat legible 585 mark on the tongue of the clasp, but it's from one of...

I had a similar one for years; it opened almonds a treat but wasn't much use for harder-shelled nuts. Shona carvings used to be worth something,...
It's now an asymmetric design. Problem solved.(LOL) Another vote for Turkish, btw. Once in a while I've seen that sort of engraving on Russian...
It's after midnight and SOMEBODY got them wet !
No one ever said spammers were bright.
That was a bit of a tough read, but I guess it's a compact. It just feels odd, and most of them I know have larger openings. Of course those are...
I thought of that, but it doesn't feel like a powder compact, and usually commemorative stuff like this went on a guy's watch chain. It has that...
It's marked German silver, so that's one question down. I'd almost think it was a snuff, but the lid has an original mirror. It was made for the...
It's glass bits melted into wire channels, so yep. Some enamels are epoxy or similar, but the real stuff is glass.
