I guess now I've got to ask: What is that lyre mark doing on my GJ USA warmer an' its saucer?
The plate is ~5 3/8" diameter, ~1/2" high; the warmer is ~3 1/2" major diameter, ~2 3/4" rim height. Weight, the pair, is ~327 grams. Is this wee...
Well, he didn't need his whiz-bang electronics; he put a couple of the settings under his binocular microscope, studied for several seconds, an'...
What a precious site...Thank you, Holly!
These are as-found; I'll polish them before listing 'em on eBay. On the left wing of the pin is an enameled white star in a blue circle; on both...

This box is ~4 5/8" wide, ~3 3/4" deep, ~2 1/4" high; weight is ~5.2 oz. I got this in SoCal in the 70's. The exterior was seriously soiled, an'...
It was in several (5) pieces, an' a gift on acquisition. Y'all won't need a loupe to see the crummy job I made of the repairs, but it is at least...
An' so do I.
I like tiles, an' I like that one too! But I can't imagine anything beneath the backing that would add sufficient information, or value, to...
Hear Ye! 'Normal' is a vicious myth!
Yep...I see that, now. Thanks.
I'll bet on medical...based on the graduated glass barrel.
