Thank you so very much, Shallow, AJ & Hollyblue! I truly appreciate your input - and your taking the time to reply to my plea for help. I've been...
Thanks, Bakers. I'm stymied...
@Bakersgma Bakers, I have tried about 200 times to get a decent photo! (This thing is SMALL, and the marks are even SMALLER!) Anyway, this is...
Yup, Mikey, you're right! (To tell you the truth, I hadn't even looked at the mark!) I think it's the M for Moriyama Mori-machi, not Morimura.
Mikey, something about the "lip" inside the bowl makes me think sugar, rather than dresser box, but I could be way off! Either way, it's very...
Ah, but Shallow, you MUST have seen my initial plea! Your input was NOT "NOTHING"! I know way more about this piece now than I did this morning!...

Simon, eBay sellers seem to be identifying the mark as that of J Schneider & Co, Czechoslovakia, but I have no idea if they are correct! Here are...
Welllll... At first, I thought it was an eagle, but then I decided it wasn't. (Why would there be a GOOSE on a bank, anyway???!!!) In truth, I...
Well, we've just seen Smudged's fantastic silver plated item in the Metalware category. MY silver plated item is so far from fantastic that it's...
Yes, indeed there are - and an even BIGGER bunch in unsold!
Well, I do know that Hummels have lost most of their value... My best guess is that you might get $10-$15 for it, if you can sell it. Age/marks...
Nothing like an UNGRATEFUL recipient (just kidding, really...) I am so sorry that I dropped the ball on this one, Aaron. No more excuses. The...
Wow, Smudged, that is soooo cool! Really nice job cleaning it, too!
