Interesting chairs and a bit different than you usually see. I think you can compare them to other similar sets even if can't find an exact...
If it needs work, the value drops way off what I suggested. Major work and it might as well be firewood .... sad but true :(
Maybe Dewol? Looks more like a silkscreen to me.
I think that photo tells it all. No self-respecting flea marketer in the US would arrive with a vehicle as small as those seen in this photo....
I know of no flea market that charges so little to sell or have so few facilities. Flea markets generally have perimeter control, restrooms, and...
I think circa 1900 or just slightly later. Walnut veneer. Style is based on William and Mary designs but by no means pure in form. Factory made...
Swap meets are not all that different than flea markets, though tend to attract smaller less organized dealers selling worse junk. There is a fee...
Haven't heard the term 5 plank chest in ages. Agree that there is certainly some appeal to them and no dispute as to age. Have fished quite a...

Those do look like some of the iron meteorites I have seen. If you look on ebay, I think you will see similar. This is a Campo Del Cielo...
Ah ..... now I get why silver plated has quotation marks around it. Just a little slow here today. I bought a pair of similarly marked larger,...
Wouldn't those marks indicate that these are solid silver spoons (at a lower standard than sterling) and not plated?
I have nothing more than a hunch it is South American. Has taupou seen this?
Too bad. I thought it to be one of the most interesting items in the hoard. Perhaps the missing strap attachments kept the value down. Here in...
Buy your vintage rare items on ebay for $6.00!
Both very old and European in origin. I would think Germanic/Scandinavian. The first one is what we here in the states would call an immigrant's...
The styling on the back makes this appear quite old. However, the construction suggests 20th century. I would think probably teens or 20s. Wood...
Nice sale! I was wondering how the carved coconut flask you sent to auction last year did. I tried to search the forum and found the discussions...
