40 years ago was 1978 so, yeah, that works. I don't think it would be a lot older than that.
There's a problem with the numbers here. I don't see how they could have hired Murray in '32 to produce designs for '25. Typo?
My guess would be chipboard with melamine coating.
I don't think it has any value - too far gone. Might have been silver plated zinc originally.
I don't think these are particularly old. Maybe 1980s. Probably cost more just to buy the glass alone at a mirror place. They must be pretty...
They look nice to me, and I think they're probably worth $100 even if new. That looks like a grouping of 3 identical frames. I can't see buying...
Some people wore masks when out in public (especially in Venice). It wasn't confined to balls and celebrations.
If it's a hand tinted photo, it's a bit of each. The only Wallace Nutting print I ever has was tiny (under 3" by 4"), and there was an equally...
That's the sloppiest pin attachment I've ever seen. I think amateur work for sure. Back in the '80s, a huge number of stamped brass motifs came...
Charles Amand-Durand (frequently mis-spelled Armand), 1831-1905, has been on these boards before. He was French, and a pioneer of photogravure...
No doubt the jacket was correct for it's time, but when this portrait was done, that time was long past. For a society so attuned to the minutiae...
In the 18th C, things like those buttons, which seem to be strained, and the frayed lapel would not be mere happenstance... they would have been...
There was plenty of pornography in the 18th C and down through history. Some of the frescoes from Pompeii are very graphic. There's a story of a...
Why is this risque? It could have been. You might have flipped up that cover and discovered an enameled scene of an amorous couple.
I recently got this portrait engraving of the engraver Valentine Green (1739-1813). It’s by another engraver named James Fittler (1758-1835)...
I don't even think of it as heading to the U.S.... just some magic city in the sky.
Now there's a look for the ages.
Guess I need to read all the posts. At least my info wasn't contradictory.
I had a similar cat from a Swedish company called Eneryda. Paper label only. [ATTACH]
Call it Modern, give the date, and you'll be alright. I like it.
Separate names with a comma.
