Not to worried about selling that piece. Just sold a dozen gallon fruit/pickle jars today ($50), but she forgot to take the 3 free art glass...
With a 3" I.D. and rose relief, it would be perfect for displaying your Pete Rose signed baseball!
Ahhhh. Incomplete.
Awesome, thanks! Gotta' use the right keyword. I tried "jar" and "container". I didn't think of jewelry, but I thought it could be for face powder.
What is this for? Probably only 70's or 80's vintage, but that's only a guess. It has a rose flower decoration [ATTACH] [ATTACH] on top so I'm...
So these shells haven't kept up with inflation. I'll focus on the rest of the hoard.

Hmmm...I suppose you could use golf ball sized ones to keep your Christmas tree upright! Thanks!
Here ya' go. I trimmed it to exactly 1Mb. They are as heavy as glass. I did not clean them. Some have the same dirt/clay on them that other,...
Clearing my folks' estate, I found a gallon can nearly full of old marbles. At least a third are handmade of all sizes. But mixed in were almost...
Thank you very much. I guess it might be more valuable as a working press than as an antique. Probably not that old anyway. I think I'll blast...
I notice now that the plate has guide cutouts at each end. The base is football shaped.
I have a couple iron screw presses. One is the typical rectangular plate book press. The other I can't find anything like on the web. It has the...
