Thanks, I was thinking Edwardian, so I’m glad you agree. I plan to rewire it and replace the clear glass panels with something more interesting,...
Is this desk lamp anything interesting? Just stumbled across it in a thrift shop. It appears to be cast spelter, painted to look like bronze. I...
Thanks! I found an ad from early 1881 that shows identical-looking biscuits, and uses the same “by appointment” boast, so perhaps the sign dates...
Any ideas about when this lithographed cardboard sign dates to? My best guess would be late 1800’s but research hasn’t turned up anything similar....

I could be wrong but I think I MAY have found the remains of a small hallmark: [IMG] It’s very worn, if it is in fact a hallmark at all, but...
Good point. So, it’s unlikely there’s a rotary phone / Rotary Club connection. It was a good thought, though! Maybe Mr. Brigden, as the first...
Could be that simple!
Not sure what to make of this. As you’ll see, it’s a miniature candlestick telephone. From the engraved inscriptions, it was presented to a Rotary...
Could very well be. I only called it iron because other, similar forks I’ve found online are said to be made of iron.
The whole thing is cast iron, which has developed a dark patina over time. [IMG]
My apologies for posting on such a mundane subject but I’m wondering about the age of some old forks I have. They’re made of iron and, as you’ll...
Yes, Lucille.b is correct, here, about the figures in my set being made of extremely thin, lightweight celluloid plastic. It amazes me that...
