Very interesting. Apparently Blekinge is the site of several rune stones, but I was unable to find any reference to an inscription such as shown...
I think this may be from a book called "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna" (Sweden: Ancient and Modern) published by Eric Dahlberg in 1713. The book was...
This looks to me like a doge: [ATTACH] Here's the building: [ATTACH] I'm not sure what's going on here, but I don't think it's a treasure chest....
The building in the background is very like the Doge's palace in Venice and appears to be under construction. The scene seems to be someone's...
I can't say I noticed that as any kind of oddity. You can have it Bookahtoo, just message me your address.
I'll give this away, though it's pretty far gone and no one may want it. It's a nice photo of a dog signed Ralph Standfast '45. It may be...
Check for chips and cracks with your fingers. It's surprising how often they will detect something your eyes somehow missed.
I think the photograph is probably a one-off by an amateur. He took a picture he liked, so he had it enlarged and framed. Nice that it's signed,...
Since I haven't shown anything in while, I'll show this rather odd (to me) brooch. It's by a Canadian company called Continental that made some...
Is this a tin plate? The texture of the back looks like fiberglass.
Congrats!
Knee breeches in 1876? I can see then for a costume dress party, but otherwise? Are these people too fancy for Quakers?
It's quintessentially mid-century modern. A lot of stuff calling itself MCM would look positively prosaic next to it. Wouldn't you love to have...
Congrats Bear and anundverkaufen! Glad to see it got ID'd, and some interesting stuff in that link.
Size? It looks to me like it may have been salvaged footstool/chair/piano stool/firescreen... like that.
With those rivets at the top, I would guess it's missing something.
What you might try to photograph that is to stuff the pitcher with a piece of dark colored cloth. ******** Too late. I see you did that....
I think it's terrific. Congrats!
Sadly, I don't think it's consistent with his other work, and the monogram shown in your link looks different in concept to me, but I have no...
I think it's the first train set we've seen. Maker and model should be on each part. Looking them up individually should be manageable....
Separate names with a comma.
