I think that's a B in a diamond shape. I don't know whodunnit off hand, but odds are it was one of the North Attleboro MA firms. That's where it...
A lot of folks on this site see that name and stay away from the sale. I certainly do.
All I know is what I've seen on the Roadshow, but I've seen a lot of them on the Roadshow. That spatterware black manganese on the surface means...
Shows how observant I am.... but I'm still glad they've joined their friends.
It looks like cow bone - necklace?
It doesn't read Edwardian to me, but styles have been copied. If the stone is real, a maker from the era would have used a higher karatage of gold.
Maybe, but it's worth looking at least.
There's something but I was seeing a castle mark or some such at about 7:30 analog on the edge.

If I were the betting type, I'd say 1818 from what we can see. The only other C that gets close is from the 1770s, before the Sovereign's head...
I'm seeing a pigtail too. Didn't George III have the pigtail the entire time?
I guessed 1870, but that was based on American designs rather than European, and the birds were hot here later than in Europe. I'd go old...
These days Chinese freshwaters like those aren't worth much for resale. Those are what's known in the trade as "rice pearls", and these days they...
No surprises this one missed getting marked; that's one old locket. If I were taking a wild guess I'd say circa 1870, but the construction has me...
Separate names with a comma.
