It might be a pen cabinet. That would depend on how big the slots are, but I doubt it would be anything else. For it to be a pen cabinet, it'd...
I agree, the remnants of a watch-chain.
Yes, I bought another one!! Siamese-style like last time, with Chinese hallmarks on the buckle. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The hallmarks on the...
I've had a few silver ZIPPOs. I think they're really sleek. I have a 1937-style "vintage-look" one with the art-deco corner-slashes, in sterling...
I've seen tokens and chips like these made of everything from bone to MoP. As the others have said, I don't think they're for any specific game....
Yes I'm aware of that. As for the case, it's literally falling apart. It's a simple briefcase-style case. No handle, no catches, barely any hinges.
MJ sets have been made from bone & bamboo for over 100 years. This set is probably from the 30s-50s. Can't really be more precise than that,...
Trying to restore the tiles. Before... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] ...and after. These tiles are so worn out, they require not just painting, but also...
Thanks for all the responses guys, it's given me a lot to think about. I've done more research about this, and I haven't found any information...
The seller reckoned this was from the 1920s or 30s, but the style of the case makes me think it's more likely post-WWII. It's very worn out, but...
I've been collecting and repairing fountain pens for about 20 years, give or take. It's a very enjoyable hobby.
Yeah, there's so many other things I could buy with that kinda money. Seems a waste to blow it all on one thing that isn't like, a car, or a...
I gave the hinge-area a polish and a lot of whatever it is came right off, so I think it's either surface-grime or tarnish.
I know somebody who owns one. IT CHONKKEH!!! Average price online (ebay, etc) is about $10k, from what I've seen.
I have the Sterling, that'll do for now. Next one is the 18kt gold 149!! But that's like $10,000. I don't have that many spare kidneys!!
When I bought the pen, the piston-action filling-mechanism was very stiff. If you don't remedy this, you risk snapping the mechanism in half,...
Been after one of these for years...and I finally got one! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here it is alongside my Sterling Silver Pinstripe 146, and the...
Well if it's sterling, I'll keep it.
No. I only got it today.
Well if it's from the 1930s, it'd be pretty worn by now I imagine. I see no reason why it would be a fake.
