When you look at as many trashed antiques as I have, you learn to spot these tiny little details.
As some of you might remember, a few weeks ago I bought a silver pocket watch... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] The dial says: "BRAVINGTONS RENOWN" /...
The reason the stuff I collect is neat is because I spend a lot of time lookin' at it. I don't buy anything unless I can hold it in my hands and...
L.P = Sterling. N = Date letter (1805, did you say, B?) Missing: Duty mark, Assay mark, Maker's mark. That said, that's one seriously huge...

I feel sorry for them! :o That thing looks bloody massive! When's the trip to the chiropractor scheduled?
How many big, strong men did it take to carry it inside?
They're adorable, but how the hell do you fill them?? They've got holes at both ends!! :o
You'd be surprised (or probably shocked) by what some things sell for here in Australia. Sometimes it's beyond comprehension. And just so that I...
You're forgetting that I live in Australia. Things around here cost ten times what they do everywhere else. And I know the photos aren't very...
