I have a Mexican money clip with abalone inlay. Very handsome piece. Its marked sterling on top of the clip. Under the clip much harder to see...
I don’t know a lot about modern Japanese wood blocks but the colors on the one on left look WAY off for any I have seen that are older. Clearly...
I also just remembered what I was watching before this doc popped up. A neat Sotheby’s short on a German forger of the great masters. [MEDIA]
Added on Any Jewelry’s request. An interesting documentary film on the forging of ancient bronze. Extends to fake antiquities in general....
Sure. I’m assuming none of our frequent posters are buying 1 million dollar Roman heads but unfortunately this kind of thing rolls down hill to...
Has anyone seen one similar before? It just lies on its side I believe. Guessing it may be Mexican in origin based on name and former owners...
Glad you like it! I was left wanting a little more with the ending but I guess that was as much as they had to offer at the time of filming. I...

Out of my hands now but thank you. He either knew what he was doing or was very confident despite not knowing. He seemed to think it only a casual...

Why non functioning?

Got this nifty lady off someone who had been selling a nice collection piece by piece on one of the apps. Thought it might be a vintage...
Well that’s pretty damn neat and nice. I’ve never seen one before. Cool score, what type of place did you find that at? Just curious. Without...
