I would imagine so. Definitely too inexpensive for one as old as he claims. Which is why it grabbed my attention initially. Thought it could be a...
Lol. Oversized parrot!!!! I don’t think I will be buying it. More wanted to confirm my instinct that it didn’t look right. He just replied to me...
It does seem like the outer tube spins around the inner pole. Could be oxidized though to the point it doesn’t.
I was definitely very skeptical about the age. I’m not good a dating cast iron yet but the seam on the bars the letters are attached to doesn’t...
Found this for sale locally when posting some of my stuff. Owner wants $60 which seems like a great deal if you’re in the market for a well made...
Beautiful little piece! I love the way enamel/cloisonné on copper and brass looks.
Eh, this reinforcement will ensure I remember next time I’m writing about butter pads. ;) Edit: I mean pats, butter pats. I’ll put pads of butter...
Ah yeh. Hoped no one noticed that but I did catch it. ;)
Although I still need to figure out the era I just realized lol. They only said from 1900-1940 in that link. I got excited about sale price and...

Exactly. An ugly mf’er preferably.
That would seal the deal! Had never heard of either of these organizations. They both have an interesting little history. I can’t really imagine...
Well I’ll be damned! I had never seen a scabbard like this for a sword. I’ve seen similar scabbards for rifles so from the second I saw them I had...

Wow that was quick. Just edited post to mention Knights Templar graphic. This is the only one with De Molay that I recall. All different names and...
I purchased a box lot of antique leather rifle scabbards at auction a couple weeks ago. There had to have been at least twenty in the box. To my...
Found this cool frame at an estate sale this weekend. I believe it’s for tintype photos. Can’t imagine it’s worth more than a few bucks but it’s...
Separate names with a comma.
