reliquary case?
At least they're not broken. Now all you have to do is find the one that has roses on top, and Oriental poppies on the bottom. Easy peasy.
The reference to Berlin is, I think, in connection to this Adolphe Duplessis' address (perhaps residential status) and has nothing to do with any...
I think that's ill advised. Someone will figure it out 'sans charge'. Just looking at a word here and there, I get the impression that it refers...
I can't tell. It does like like hand coloring (not photo mechanical reproduction), but I'm having trouble seeing the paper as hand made. That...
That second link says "del. et sculp" is a London publisher, which is nonsense. It translates as "drawn and engraved" and means the one person...

This is a problem if you are selling coins online, and one you should take into account with your current listings. If buyers can't see the coin...

Several sources I've read now say that Desna glass has a sandblasted mark specifically to differentiate it from vintage pieces. I think yours is...

Maybe it was a prototype for Google Maps, out there taking tintypes of everything.
Separate names with a comma.
