So, not antique, either?
This mystery object came from an estate sale. It's said to be antique, and belonged to a family that spent a lot of time in Africa. Assuming it...
Okay, thanks Bev.
Does anyone recognize this ceramic figurine? There's something in the back of my head about Napco or another company producing figurines of babies...
Just a wild guess, but maybe a ring with ten keys on it?
Interesting! A couple of new lines of investigation to pursue...
Thank you again, SBSVC. Okay, so now I need to determine if this company received a Royal Warrant and, if so, when. That would at least give us...

Yes, you're right, that does seem to be a pretty good match for shape, even though it's about twice the size of the one in question, and the bowl...
Didn't think of that possibility, either!
Thank you for this. Late 19th Century is good enough for me! I was thinking it was about a hundred years old but I expect you're correct, and it's...

Thanks, Mansons2005. I think this was probably a tobacco pipe, if only because of the colour. Doesn't meerschaum turn that lovely honey brown...
Oh, we didn't think of that!
Hi, I found this tiny smoking pipe in an antique shop, and the dealer and I are both puzzled about what it might be. The bowl looks to be...
Makes sense - will do some investigation along those lines. If I discover anything, I'll let you know.
Thank you so much, Any Jewelry! Very helpful. :) Now, is the crossed keys crest inside the lid something to do with the castle?
