I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe it was ignorance and not intentional misrepresentation in this case. I’m sure there is...
Correct. I think you have it exactly right. In my experience so far any old looking spoon with marks that can’t be identified quickly are called...
Thanks! Glad you like it. I couldn’t see leaving it for that price. The way it’s worded when you hit “post reply” makes it seem like it will...
I’ll give you one guess! ;) This is actually the first time I’ve posted plated stuff that I recall though. Maybe I’m forgetting one though. The...

I'll update y'all. Thanks for the link! Mine is definitely not 8'. I'll measure when I get a chance. 20" sounds pretty close if I recall correctly.
Ugh I replied in length without logging in and it said it wouldn't display in full until I signed in. Now I'm signed in and can't see it. This has...
Got this in a $10 lot of a couple items. Any value here? Listing it now and don’t know what price to put on it. Figured I would start around $50...
