I think that you're on the right track with a plug bayonet. It's definitely well made. The sheath or scabbard looks like sharkskin as used so much...
What occupied the space at 9 o'clock in the garter? Beautiful locket.
Boy... what a lot of work for a stage or movie helmet! Too much, I would thinke. I am wondering how, as komokwa noted, does one see out of it? I...
Just to add a couple of interesting tidbits: During WW2, in Italy, a U.S Army priest let it be known that he was interested in old coins....
I use lighter fluid also. Works about the best. If the tape is old and dried out you might be able to get most of it off, without an additive, by...
I like it! Please note that his (center figure) peekaboo is peeking out. I'm not sure what that means? Did the coastal indians show genitals? I've...
Looks like oak. Also looks as if it's been handled quite a bit. I think it's a "talking stick "for the "Order of the Arrow" or the "Order of the...
I think that the gentleman, 2nd from the right, with the beard, is a leprechaun.......
It definitely is a beautiful ring. My take is that it was not made by an truly accomplished jeweler and is rather rough. Having said that and...
Very nice piece. You say the comb is damaged? No teeth missing. Just showing its age. Again, Nice!

It may have been a chatalaine piece. I'm thinking as an attachment on a purse, stored inside the purse. If on a chain and worn externally,...

The one you show is a nice looking watch with the case being 9K but ...... there does not appear to be any markings on the works which is unusual...
Also the curved piece that hooks onto the other side of the belt buckle is gone (bottom of pics 2 &4). Perhaps a hole for an "O" ring for a...
The carver does such a good job on the dancer's feet but the feet on the guy on the right appear to be going in opposite directions? Also does he...
I like the looks of this ring but......I wonder? "Any Jewelry" brought up the 18K mark. Also, I would expect the shank to be more worn if it were...
The one that you are looking at is definitely not a RR watch. A RR watch would have 15+ jewels; adjusted to five positions: have arabic numerals;...
Great chest. Left hinge looks like it was a replacement and that hinge is pretty rough as if supplies to reconstruct were limited. To the left of...
This was called a "liontine" worn by both men an women. It would anchored in a near button hole, usually in the lapel. The watch would be placed...
Separate names with a comma.
