Thanks, I’ve been striking out lately. This is one of the only keepers I’ve come up with this spring. No value, but an interesting example. I love...
It’s the size of an American dime or so. Toothpick for scale. edit: looking back at my photos this toothpick type looks a lot like a pencil if...
I guess it would be hard to pass a thread back and forth. I just assumed it worked like a standard two hole button, but again I’m no seamstress....
Could be yeh. I had a nice sterling one. It was missing the handle unfortunately. It was at least a fairly popular pattern so I’m sure the buyer...
Maybe the raised bar isn’t high enough though? [ATTACH]

Could be 18th. Looks more later 19th or even 20th to me but that’s just a stab. Colors seem slightly off to me for 18th. The brown dressed rim is...
I love your painting Bosko! Great find! I love that part of the country too. You are lucky to call it home.

Was detecting near a 19th century private road and this popped up. I had never seen a a button back like this with the cross bar. I’m guessing...
Saw this for sale just now. I couldn’t figure out what I was looking at for a moment. I thought it was a miniature painting of a desert landscape...
I saw a source say the firm was in business 1906-1922. They made some higher end jewelry in addition to this lower end production.
Also tricky. That could be 100 years old or 300 years old. Johnny’s recommendation of a good bath might be in order.
Ooh that is a tricky one. Wants to be Chinese or Japanese and European or American all at the same time. The brushwork, blue rings, and spacing...
I thought it looked like one of their handles!
Ah touché! Thanks. Yeh I suppose that’s the one that would be of more consequence than most other possibilities. I was hoping it was gold filled...
