Not really, I often have to flee howling mobs who do not know the difference between a pedant, a pediatrician and a pedophile. Even by West...
I leave mine open and piled with junk. But each to his own. [ATTACH] I should have another leaf made.It has a handle to wind it out and there...
I do tend to be pedantic.
Looks like Yamalichi to me, the possible U is not joined up as strokes in other letters are.
Octoberama = Panorama in October.
This is a Japanese cigarette case, about 3 inches square, that started life with the gold and silver inlay showing against a near black background...

I think I preferred them naked, but here they are with lustres. [ATTACH]
Are they true rivets or rivet like fastenings? Rivets can be tightened by supporting the back of the rivet with a heavy metal object and...
Early 1920s cigarette case. The elastic strip always indicates cigs, and the size is just right for 10. They were shorter in those days.
A quick shed search and I found the bundle of lustres, actually 3 more than I needed, so some or all must be replacements, but I have hung on a...
Looking at similar items, they do seem to be priced at 4 or 5 times what I'd consider reasonable, put me in mind of that great retail...
