That's bizarre. But, that looks like it was pasted onto the outside. I never knew printing houses used old paper to use with the spine. I guess if...
I sure didn't. I picked up this old 1890 book at a flea market today. [ATTACH] At some point it was part of Wm H Wanamaker Clothing,...
I found this one at ebay. It looks similar, but it's slightly different. Zooming in on this postcard, there's two star like images between the...
Reading those links, the one thing that stands out to me is "The chisel scratches visible on the back attest to its hand manufacture." Even in the...
Here's a CU. I always have a problem posting jpgs here. 1mb is the limit. [ATTACH]
Picked this up today. It was in a modern frame, with new mats, that made me think was a copy. But, it's attached to an old board. So, it's an...
No, she's yellow. The green is my poor photography. I'm now interested in knowing if it's mold or sculpted. I didn't know brooches were molded,...
I was wrong. This is an old clasp. [ATTACH] A better photo of the cameo [ATTACH]

I'm banging my head trying to find anything on any of these people, and you identified two immediately. THANK YOU! These have probably been in...
Picked up these 3 signed 8 x 10s today. They're very nice. But, it seems like the owner kept them in a box in the garage for years. Still they're...

The things I've seen online, I can never unsee. Years ago when I was living in NYC, they had 2 cable access channels that anyone could send in...
I think I have that book. I have quite a few death scene photo books. For some reason (it can't be good), these things don't bother me. True crime...
I am politically inclined, and REALLY OPINIONATED. But, I also realize that "it is what it is", things come and go, and crap has happened...
This painting, which seems to have been painted on some sort of burlap, it's certainly not canvas, is signed J Maria. There are many J Maria's...

In the front row of my photo is a Chaplin impersonator.
Grok is great to answer some things. It did great on these two photos. This is the "Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine" or...
Picked up this nice large cameo at an antique market today. The details aren't great. There's no faces. But, you can tell it's a tree, a couple,...
