Thank you. I meant that the box conceals most of it, but I am assuming average condition. I have bought and sold one of these in the last few years.
An auction estimate would be about £50 to £70. This assumes it is complete and in decent condition. The maker is well known for optical...
Band saws and circular saws have been used for naybe a couple of hundred years, as have reciprocating mechanical saws, once the steam engine came...
Explaining dating is like saying how can you tell a 1960 car from a 1930 car. There are both great and small style changes. More practically, most...
The strap design may be a 'hommage', I am sure from the dial that it is not 40s and will stick with my later estimate.
There is a specific name for these things, I had one a while ago and it did reasonably well at auction, maybe £40, but I cannot remember the name....
1970 or thereabouts, in my opinion.
True indeed the visible coild woild deflect the magnet on the needle, not the other way round. It does look pretty old but no different from the...
From the construction it appears to be a routine moving coil meter of some kind, possibly measuring amps, but the picture of the dial which might...
In the circumstances I think I would have done the usual house clearance thing, cash on the barrel head and haul it away. The 30 to 50 at auction...
Probably 1920s Jacobean Revival.
Nearer $100 than anything else. Winding it up is the obvious first thing to try. The movement is almost certainly a 15 jewel lever of conventional...
The watch is Swiss. Made for the Russian market C 1900 - 1910. The bit about the Czar probaby means similar to British 'By appointment to his...
The general term would be apothecary jars. For a film I expect a prop man would make some with the right general look.
1920s, probably has Glasgow import marks for silver so not hard to get an exact date. The movement is a routine 15 jewel lever typical of the...
Certainly gold plated. An ephemeral mid range brand name that has a small practical value because it is reasonably easy to read, unlike the really...
Most probably 800 or similar. I'd expect to see fuller marks inside the back cover.
It is a run of the mill Swiss barred cylinder movement lady's fobwatch, C.1900. Dp not attempt to pull up the winder, the hand set is by...
Compare with Sorrento ware.
Can you show the edge lettering. The official style is quite distinctive, but it may just have been unofficially renamed. Although this would be...
Separate names with a comma.
