The watch looks pretty standard, early 20th century. The coin looks like an American dime or quarter, probably silver, given the date of...what...
AF is right in that the UK and its colonies (with the exception of Canada, I believe) did not abide by American-standard railroad watches, but...
The watch says "17 Jewels Antimagnetic" to me, that says post-WWII. So probably 50s or 60s manufacture. By this time, railroad pocketwatches were...
Wow that looks rough. If it ever was a RR watch, then it's one of the later models.
Apart from WWI, the only time I remember Japan fighting on the side of the UK was during the Boxer Rebellion and the siege of the Peking Legation...
Australian troops saw action in Africa during WWII, including Egypt. So it's not beyond the realm of possibility that this was some sort of...
It's a beautiful box! I've seen boxes of this size being used to store cigarettes. Is that what this is?

20th Birthday Present to myself ten years ago. Also one of my biggest bargains, most prized possessions, and my daily timepiece. Got it back from...
[IMG] Picked these up yesterday at the local flea-market. My first ever pair of sterling silver cufflinks. Marked "STG" for STERLING, on the...

I don't see any resemblance to any antique lighter that I've seen, but hey, there were all kinds of designs...
I'm certain that it is silver, but I'd still like to know how old it is. I'm going to say 18th century going by the hallmarks I've seen, unless...
This is probably a very stupid question. What's the difference between a goblet, and a chalice?
My point is that, if there was a letter, it would be INSIDE the borders of the bear-mark. That's what every other mark looks like. And there's...
Yeah, and if you press it, then it becomes SuperGoblet, destined to save drinkware the world-over! ...No, there's nothing there. The stem is also...
This is from the 925-1000.com site, and they said... ...and... What do I think? I think it doesn't add up. The mark is clearly a bear in an...
13 would mean 812/1000 purity if I remember rightly. Here's more pix... [IMG] [IMG] Someone on another forum doesn't think it's 18th...
