Thanks for supplying these links. I see a lot of lofty hopes here and on eBay for similar things. I think my setting is unique but not as nice as...
I did very well on a bracelet in this general style before. The rings seem to be more common and not quite as sought after. I’m sure quality and...
Oddly the setting is marked just 18k. I haven’t been able to check the pin itself yet for hallmarks. The back of enamel is marked just “France”....
Even those I can see. The sea monster with monkey is just kind of grotesque (which I like) and a bit ridiculous looking (which I also like). The...
It’s so hilarious that it’s a brooch. It’s funny that it exists at all but that it’s piece of ladies jewelry cracks me up. Great find! I love...

Well I guess I should have looked at actual GAR swords. Maybe this version of the logo is only used on them? I looked at about 1,000 GAR items...
Got this last week at a great estate sale. The guy didn’t have much not worth having. Not everything worth big bucks but everything was quality...
How industrious, buckets to beads! I had been wondering more about possibly German Faturan based on the era you speculated it may be from and that...
‘Twas! No nice I wish I had done it twice. Great thing about being on foot or a bicycle is that you can investigate every nook or cranny that...
Lovvvvvve that area of the coast. I walked/hitched from San Diego to Portland on 1/101 when I was younger. It’s such an incredible place. It gets...
I just learned about Faturan. Do you think the beads are that, Bakelite, or something different?
