According to this site, Tau designates the Kostromskoy district: http://hallmarkwiki.com/?ShowHallmark=15637 That site also shows several marks...
I don't think you will get an ID on this. It could even be Japanese.
Looking at a Faberge book, it says that a right facing head combined with a Greek letter was used as an assay mark from 1908-27. It says the...
If they are that old and have been stripped of patina, that will greatly diminish the value, but it's still kind of cool.
Pictures do make all the difference. I was imagining a set more like these (only bunnies): [ATTACH] I almost didn't post the bookends comment...
I don't think it's for putting something into a system. If that were the case, the top of the plunger would be more finger friendly. I think it's...

This is a specialty slide rule made to calculate stack losses (energy losses) in boiler operations: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
These are long gone, but I never did ID them and remain curious. The quality was there. Just over 4” tall, 3 ½” across at the top rim, and just...
A lot of Aubrey Beardsley in that last illustration. Interesting about migratory birds killed at lighthouses as the same story remains in the...
I would be surprised if a bowl like that sold for $50, especially considering the additional shipping cost. Having a positive ID would help, but...
