Yup, the "wax seal" is a copy of a Victorian fob. The whole thing is Victorian Revival which is a good keyword to use. I've bought cabs on Ebay...
I don't think it's Seguso quality but at the same time, it's decent. So not a T K Maxx thing.
For the sake of keywords, dauber not dobber, as in daubing perfume. Those fob styles were very popular from about the early 60s - much as charm...
Daft sod. ;)
I suspect Peru. I've had their silver with an anvil mark and that looks similar.
Trick is to keep it in the dark or in its original box and in a cool place.
I'd have grabbed the Cabotine, it's one of my favourite smells. The WMF is modern, but well worth buying.
Very Tretchikoff, that is.
That wee yelllow thing looks to have a flame pontil mark, so either Isle of Wight or Kerry. I thought it had a Mdina ish look, it's all Michael...
With that bad base, I rather agree.
More photos are needed, but its a lovely glaze with what look like ormolu mounts. Handsome. Tall plant needed.
Free is my favourite price. Remind me to tell the story of the USSR silver some time. Johnny, the white is almost certainly Mdina. The yellow,...
Johnnie, the two little bits of glass look faintly Mdina-ish. Albeit the white one is a Caithness shape. Close ups?
<snicker>
Riihimaki by the look of it.
Scantic he may still be a civilian. Those are only campaign medals not neccessarily service.
How's your Spanish? You might have a look through here: http://www.armada.cl/armada/site/edic/base/port/tradicion_historia.html And email them...
komokwa, that's why I'm wondering some kind of official but using naval regalia.
Hm. Spanish first names starting with A that might fit - Abelardo is about the only one, really. I do think it's Sr. F. (something) (something)...
The initial between Sr and the name is F.
Separate names with a comma.
