It wasn't a diss; it was the flat truth. As of three to five years ago, I couldn't give ginbari jewelry away. Prices have increased considerably...
I thought it was a mix of paint and missing metal. It looks like some of the brass popped loose a long time ago.
At least that old and likely older. It wasn't a cheap thing when new, but it's been rode hard and put away wet. The carytids alone tell me it...

The platform rocker needs to be marketed as a New Mother Special. Rocking chairs are the best thing going for babies who won't go to sleep. I...
I resemble that remark!
This is definitely a ginbari brooch. The enamel is a weakness of mine; the resale potential is pitiful if you're buying to resell, but it's...
