For the painted date to be original, then the finish on the whole box has to be original (since it looks like the date is simply painted on top of...
Post for @Any Jewelry ! Saw a carving of a couple today, and wasn't sure whether it was worth going after. In my opinion carving is good, but not...
This table has a highly suspicious top - i.e. likely replaced, so a preview would be necessary before bidding. The fact that the auctioneer...
I agree, and the shallow carving also looks not very old to me. Pic of top and inside and bottom would tell more about age. Basing an age guess on...
These fancy chairs rightly considered Windsors, and are more mid to late 19th century than early 19th century. These half spindle backs were the...
Final basket (whew) is by far the largest, and the only one with external applied paint as opposed to being made from colored materials. [ATTACH]...
These two have incredibly fine work with many strands per inch. Especially number 8 which has some damage that I showed that seems age related to...
Of these two, number 6, the tiny one, has writing on the back of 1888 and Boston plus other words I can't read. Don't know if that is the date it...
These were bought on a trip to the Grand Canyon, at a yard sale by a native american in the 1980's. Look like they have been well used, and...
Final post with baskets. I do still have a couple of "basketry" items (woven from basket material, although not containers) but don't have pics of...
For number 4, does Wabanaki include Passamaquoddy? I ask because I spent a lot of time as a kid up in Maine, right next to the Passamaquoddy...
Sorry to take so long to reply, and Thank you. Yes, the large one contains a rolled up yellow cloth measuring tape, the small one contains a thimble.
lloyd, I don't think you've started a thread about your chair, but have posted onto other threads. I don't think your chair is as old as you...
I knew there were fakes, but didn't know the scale. Just one raid of these two importers collected "350,000 pieces of jewelry seized during the...
What cast iron sells for a lot of money? The kitchenware (pots pans muffins) seems pretty dead to me, am I missing something?
If it was cloudy or water stained then I could see the point. But that surface doesn't bother me at all, and doesn't cover up or detract from the...
Did you notice this is in the shape of a heart? I wonder if the paint is home decorated - why all the green drips on the raised piecrust edge? I...
OK, I'll be the odd one out. Even though this is 20th century furniture I would suggest NOT refinishing. First of all it is a lot of work - so if...
