Is it a stickpin or perhaps a hat pin? Or maybe a tie pin?
I just won this on ebay and I may have overpaid but I really liked it. The part I like most is the fact that is has a solid 14k gold clutch. I...
Thanks! I paid quite a bit under scrap so I'm still fine with it!
I found this ring today for a little under scrap. It is worn quite a bit but is still very much wearable. It is a closed back so I assume that is...
Youd be surprised at how much of the damage is actually just the glass!
I bought this daguerreotype that had been on ebay for awhile. I assume because of the condition and bad photos. I took a chance on it because I...
I don't want to be responsible for giving out instructions that someone may attempt and mess up a daguerreotype is all.... This is where I started...
Thanks guys! As for how I did it I dont want to give exact details myself but there are guides online. But essentially just replacing the glass...

I cleaned them and they no longer smell at all. Some of it brushed off and I gave them a wipe down in isopropyl alcohol and let them sit in the...
I would be wearing it myself. The seller had an on hand picture and it is quite interesting. The 1877 mark looks close enough, doesn't look like...
Thinking of buying this ring perhaps. However I wanted to run it by you guys because I have my suspicions. It would appear to me that the...
Anyone? On one hand I love the images but on the other hand I hate mold. I'd hate to get rid of them...
Argh! As with all things paper you run the risk of mold. Well this was no exception... When the sun comes out I may try to treat them. The...
Working on getting glass cut, afterwards I'll have much better pictures to share of this image! The back of the image shows that someone has...
Even though the inscription itself didn't get wet it is just unreadable. I utilized every tool I had at my disposal to decipher the first names...
