<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Happy!, post: 38366, member: 237&quot;]Well, or old camera got major case of the shakes.&nbsp; Finally our new one came in, so, if anyone is still interested, here are more pics.&nbsp; I am using this bad condition item as a learning piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first posted, I was afraid to touch it, since it seemed to be disintegrating.&nbsp; Have since figured it out, I think?&nbsp; This was in a lot of other items.&nbsp; Evidently something in the lot was made of salt, as the crumbling stuff tastes salty.&nbsp; I show some of the large pieces below. They had gotten caught under the bottom lip where the hole is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the pieces do not match this piece in color (white) or where parts are missing, I think they have nothing to do with this piece.&nbsp; Just transference from something else in the lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I felt all over, and whatever treatment is adhering well and not flaking off.&nbsp; So it may be coralene? </p><p><br /></p><p>The corners used to have a gold-look that has worn off.&nbsp; Thought that was started around the 1920&#039;s or 30s through the 50s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is a picture of the base and the marking.&nbsp; Could it be reading &quot;it&quot; for Italy?&nbsp; Or &quot;41&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]9676[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9677[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9679[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9680[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9681[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
