Happy New Year, all! Yes, it was a painful lesson. I myself bought several collectors plates while in college. I shudder to think how much better...
Nice find, and I appreciate the tip re the brush!
Very nice! Other than Futura, what are/have been considered the premium Roseville patterns? The story of the older collector couple is...
Thank you, Dana. I appreciate it.

I agree it looks like a vanity seat. I had my grandparents’ 1940s bedroom set s few years back, and when I was about to donate the set I looked up...
I imagine reupholstering that would be rather expensive.
The piece looks nice. Does anyone know when paper/sticker labels like that were first used on furniture? 1920s? Has anyone seen this website?...
