OP can find a buyer that XRF tests each piece and shows them the report. May take some time to find but there is probably one out there. A...
As a beginner you’re just as likely to confuse yourself as you are to get an accurate determination. Gotta start somewhere though, practice...
great link! Among all the cool things those glass beads are very lust worthy.
Ah yeh I was unaware of the status of the brand. I hadn’t heard of them until a piece I posted here was mentioned as being made by them possibly....
Haha. I used to have Garfield pencils in the 80’s. I swear I saw one in my parents junk drawer not too long ago. So funny that it’s been in there...
