I looked at Windsor chairs advertised as 18th century American on eBay. Only two of the five listings looked authentic to me, and one of those...
Here's a very well written story about another famous thief of maps from libraries. Unfortunately not a new problem:...
Anyone recognize this mark? Worth buying more matching plates and teapot?[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Indeed, the pewterbank book appears to answer the question. Made by Richard Neate, who seems to have had quite a business in the 1920's with...
I saw something similar online. It's the WR and GR stamps, with no VR stamp, that makes me believe that this is early in the 19th century (last...
Agree, champleve. Bird design not hand-done, but cast in place.
Thank you, I have several books too, but all on American pewter, which is what I mostly own. Do you have a book devoted to English pewter? I am...
Hi Cheryl, I'm following this thread so I'm glad its still active. I'm also glad to see you here since I've been reading your posts at 925 for...

This is a local auction site for me, used to be even closer in Bolton before they moved to Marlboro. I've been to and bought at their auctions...
Thanks for posting. A very interesting article. I think his point about collectors being different now is a very important point, though this...
Awesome, SIS. I can't believe you saw that! Thank you!! I must have looked at it for 10 minutes trying to find "Germany" or some other country on...
I like this but no mark and I don't have a clue where it was made or it's age. Gilt-metal top is in surprisingly good shape considering, though...
