I do have a selection of various bits and pieces accumulated "over there". And speaking of Dutch nickels: the Netherlands really do (did?) have...
To get the work to show better, you might try stuffing the vase with a dark-colored cloth, or filling it with a dark liquid. Standing it in a...
Makes me think of those portraits of Michael Jackson by Kehinde Wiley: [IMG] https://arcade.stanford.edu/blogs/mj-kehinde-wiley-fire
One last kick at the mesh can. I tried scanning the piece this morning. [ATTACH] The massive bit at the bottom is the edge of the piece.
Little interest among the current youngsters unless, of course, I stick some horrendous value on it. I have an apron I assume to be a...
Front or back, looks the same to me. The ornament seems to integrated into the mesh, as opposed to sitting on top of it. This originated with...

Seems like I'm always getting Canadian quarters I've never seen before. So many commemoratives. If someone wanted to counterfeit quarters,...
I once bought a coin set at a thrift store. One year's Canadian coins, one of each value. Nothing special about them except that it was a half...
