<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pica pica, post: 12619194, member: 102323&quot;]I recently got a new cameo in the post. I saw it listed on ebay a while back but had some reservations (one being that the price was out of my range) but it didn&#039;t sell for a few weeks and the seller kept dropping the price. Eventually it got low enough to be within my cameo budget (≤£20).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]555789[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]555790[/ATTACH]</p><p>I was put off by the hinge type on the back as I generally buy older cameos, but I liked the subject and really wanted to know what it looked like under all that grime.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]555791[/ATTACH]</p><p>Here she is washed. She is not the most refined carving but I am quite pleased with her. I would appreciate any estimates of age, the mount looks newer than I&#039;m used to but the carving doesn&#039;t look <i>too</i> new. I was also drawn to buy her due to a misidentification in the listing. She was sold as &quot;<i>Made from real Cornelian (Conch) shell</i>&quot;, which is wrong in so many ways...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]555792[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>In passing, I&#039;ve seen some sold listings on ebay for unidentified Schmoll cameos. Would it be of interest if I posted them here?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
