A hearty welcome Pavlo ! Sounds like you're doing some meaningful work.
Welcome to the Forum Alex.I'm an amateur-but these could be true 18th Cent engravings. It'd probably be best to have an experienced Antiquarian...
Thanks You so very much Marote- amazing work, your skills are really impressive. I also love the poetry of the inscription- deeply felt stuff....
I don't know Cameos from Romeos, but thanks to Ms. @Bronwen devoted campaign- even I know that aint one !
Ditto-I def wouldn't mind owning a few (at this point I'd be standing in line !).
Just discovered this in the local Willamette Falls Development Website. It's a pic of a young local tribe member (Siletz), who weaves some...
IMHO-Cute and actually in a weird way 'Artsy'.
Exactly AJ, excellent idea. There are indeed several mosques nearby and human eyeballs are prob the best way to translate this intricate writing form.
This is why I never find, or I should say BUY, true, authentic-Antique Signs.I enjoy them as folk art. This is a modestly sized Owl Drugstore...
Looks like a high carat goodie- Egyptian gold can be 18-21K. American jewelry (14K) always looks rather cheap to me, not that I'd ever turn down...

1/2 to 3/4qtrs of a rosewater sprinkler (sans nozzle)-voila, a bud vase ! Can anyone translate the inscription on the base ? As always-thanks very...
I can see your logic Whit,but-"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy" and never forget -"When...
Say that is interesting-are the bases around anywhere Whit ? Do you suppose they might be bakelite Birthday Cake toppers? [ATTACH]
I always thought 'dexies' were to keep truck drivers and jitterbuggers hoppin' ? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I thank the Deity I don't have to scrounge for mediocre Fenton anymore to make Rent. There were some mighty dry weeks back in the ole Ebay days....
One of the weirder things I've seen on Ebay-a 1955 Dexedrine bottle w/ an RX for James Dean. It sold for $1250 (eBay item number:257518705641)....
33 items-dang @Bdigger that's a Woodstock-size pick ! Do you mostly Ebay or Mall sell ? PS- Could be just me (?), picking fun, selling- yucck !
