This hinge type is called a "soss" "invisible" hinge. You can find them at hardware stores or online including ebay. That said, you are best off...
This looks similar to the crushed malachite in resin made by Zarebski in Mexico. Could be from them or a similar copier. These are not copies of...
In my house a “junk table” is a table covered in junk. Which unfortunately describes many of my tables...
Here's another mystery signature. Pen and Ink with some wash I believe. Frame looks about 70's, and seems to be dated 1977. In addition to...
Pretty sure this is 1950's or so, based on style and frame and damage to the mat board. Watercolor apparently. Can anyone make any progress with...
I agree, tiles could be a later addition - your pics don't show what the tiles are sitting on so hard to be sure. If so, the construction and...
Hello and welcome Tina! I am looking forward to your posts of more paintings and more information about your friend the artist. Do you have some...
Welcome! Sorry I don't have the parts you need, but I do have a question for you already! I have what I believe to be a Harvard student lamp,...
That looks like the owner of the lamp, not the manufacturer.
I have several watches I'd like to get repaired. I haven't been to a watch repairman since the 1990's, and there are fewer every year. Can I ask...
Looks like pine from here. My advice - don't try to fix the scratches, but by all means rub on a layer of beeswax. Your piece is going for the...

I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the history of pocket watches and cases. Both the pocket watch cases you show in your pictures...
Thank you! This will be a christmas gift to my wife (she's had an MMA repro of this style of pitcher for many years).
Very cool, thank you! I feel like a broken record so don't always say (though I should), that the grid I take pics on is 1" square, so this is...
Came across a piece that looks somewhere in 19th century to me, but where and from whom? Has a shiny glaze that isn't obvious from the pics, about...
Canadian goose; sorry I missed the front on pic. I can't decipher the symbols at all, but think it also has the similarly meaningless (to me)...
Mystery for me at least - I'm afraid I still can't make much sense of basketry. This one is a very fine weave. Seems to have decent age. No flat...
Refinished, extra holes, replaced brasses, reworked lid. There is a lot to go wrong with these desks, so getting the middle of their estimate was...
Poor casting and appearance suggests it isn't particularly old. Don't recognize the decoration.
Separate names with a comma.
