Won't appeal to a drummer looking for an instrument to play or for collectability. Called a "wall hanger", which is how you found it! I would...
Again, I don't run into many English windsors here in Boston. If you live in UK you should check locally. Or maybe someone else here knows. If you...
Well, as I said I don't have much experience with English Windsors, though I do have a lot of experience with American Windsors. It has features...
Use a hand drill of the right size on the candle base and you can use any candles you want. Good for the drill bit too since it will leave some...
Certainly possible, the only reason it doesn't look like a craft piece to me, is the hanger which looks professionally done and attached.
I guess I'll need to fill my bucket up with water and pull out my scale. I don't have access to a jeweler who can do a non-destructive test so I...
Unbelievable! Thanks SO much!
It is a Windsor style, but English style not American style and all finish stripped off. I don't have much experience with English windsors but...
I needed a piece of glass cut to fit an old storm window and the glass shop I used to go to has closed, and Home Depot doesn't do it anymore (at...

The earlier chairs that are more desirable are made of fiberglass. This looks like an injection molded plastic one to me, they started making them...
I rarely clean the metals I find, but this one had issues (glops of tar and other junk) on the background around the face so I polished that off...
I've gotten awesome help with my bracelets, so I'll give this pin a shot. It's another unmarked piece - this time I couldn't find a mark no matter...
I think the spectroscope is a red herring. Spectroscope is about light, I don't see how it could involve a mechanism like this. So I vote for it...
I see this as definitely not pre-1850, but as late victorian or possibly early 20th century. There was no need to piece and glue together small...
One more note. Apparently Thonet will evaluate pieces submitted via picture for authenticity. I have not done it myself, but if you want an...
Here's another bracelet that I don't know the name of the stones for. The only yellow stones I can find are cat's eye and tiger eye, but these...
Does anyone have any helpful hints to when 925 became a typical marking on sterling jewelry? I know it seems to be common these days, but when did...
