Technically you could probably sell them at your local auction house. Don’t imagine they’d bring more than $10-$20 but you’d get rid of them for...
Love the dump swap shed!
Thanks cxgirl. I like yours too. I bought most of the lifetime collection of a woman who spent a good deal of time in Inuit villages I’m told....
Makes sense!!! Any idea on the first?
I think I have a guy doing something similar as your second carving. I’ve always wondered what it was too. My guess was rolling a piece of stone...
If the bowl was used would it not make sense that implements going in an out would chip the rim? Otherwise the top paint looks worn from handling...
seems like a strange place to carve your initials. Then again kids are…kids, as you say. I recall my neighbors father had some great old swords in...

It’s hard to stop once you start! I was hooked after the first piece I got. Good luck! sweet boxes btw!
The clasp looks brass actually. The findings in the pendant look silver. Maybe they are plated and the plating on the clasp rubbed off with...
It is awfully unique so far as I can tell. It doesn’t feel cool to the touch like stone, or glass for that matter. It also doesn’t give me the...
This was sold partially filled with marbles recently. Went cheap so I took a gamble without seeing it in person. Appears to be hand blown with...
