None of the cameos are set; most are small. I'm beginning to get the vision of someone whose 'collection', at least the part being sold,...
Not at all - was glad you found the thread. :)
In the thread about how has antiquing changed you, that was my bit, jumping up when a character in a period drama is wearing a cameo to see what...
Ding, ding, ding - we have a winner! It was 'trailer-hitch' that nearly had me rolling on the floor. It's a cameo, of course, which they say is...

Someone who's a contact & who tries to sell the engraved gems he finds on eBay, finally consigned a bunch of them to Sotheby's. He was not at all...

Not in the least. But I am now in the excellent company of the other confused souls here. :)
Just so. And the collective antiquers brain continually amazes me at what it knows, what it figures out & what it seeks & finds out.
Since cameos are my territory, you can pretty much be assured that when I put up something like this (just meant to be fun, like puzzles & trivia...
