Featured Just can't even believe this...

likely bought there and shipped to the US.....
it would be interesting to find what it sold for in Edmonton !! ???

 

The English spoons were purchased by the seller from Kastner's, not sure if they're mentioned in the other eBay listings, but would suspect those were bought there too - the seller is in Boston...

Totally weird.

 

So, adding to this because a while back, someone contacted me via private message on another site , asking how sure I was of the information regarding 'Northumbria Sterling' dating I'd stated on this thread (is there a wait to join here?) - was busy, so just responded that I was quite sure, and it could be easily verified. Asked if he was one of the buyers, but he never responded and in checking later, found he was also no longer a member. Became curious, and found the same seller was still offering 'Eva Braun' pieces made by Northumbria, though now in the 'Cello' pattern, engraved '1936', and again with the set in an original Silver Cloth lined Northumbria box, and an engraved plate indicating the set was a gift from 'Emmy Göring' instead of 'Magda Goebbels' - still the same dating impossibilities, and incredibly unlikely anyway (really, just sooo many stupid Nazi-stuff buyers):












They have American silverplate flatware pieces that supposedly belonged to Eva Braun, as well as some identified as WWII German military mess silver - the pieces below, clearly marked as 'Oneida Ltd. 1881 Rogers', are the 'Flirtation' pattern, introduced in 1959, way after WWII (but they're engraved '1942'):











There are a couple of dozen recent silverware solds from the seller, this just shows some higher priced:

They're also offering some 'Eva Braun Berghof' glassware (looks like someone discovered glass etching paste):





Glassware solds:

That is so sad yet in our current climate not the least bit surprising.

 

I don't see what started this thread, re-read it TWICE now!

 

You can't see page 1?

 

I see it, first post of page 1 is

"Good grief. Talk about the need to do your own thorough research into veracity of seller claims. "

Guessing a link has been removed to a story?

 

But 6 months later I have NO CLUE what the story was.

 

@James Conrad That is post #2. I still see post number 1 and all the pictures & stuff.

 

OK, post #1 is MIA over here where I am.
See's now what happened, I have a blocklist on this site, cuts down on fussing with drama queens.

 

I am dumbfounded! Gees, it seems like the seller should be reported. It certainly is a "buyer beware" situation! A very good lesson for people to DO THEIR RESEARCH!

Well that is very weird, James. It starts with Cheryl's description of an eBay listing of very questionable veracity, pictures from the listing and screenshots of whole bunch of other listings of the same ilk from the same seller. All of them quite bogus in our humble opinion.

 

Lets see if "quoting" the original post will work

I can't see the pictures in the quote, but they will show up when I hit post.

 

Not weird, if I log out and view the thread, I see all the posts however, if I log in to view the thread, POOF, gone where the good ponies go!

 

BINGO!
Davey wins a prize! Tried to explain that several times but didn't work out!

 

All social media sites have this feature, kinda important I think.
On Twitter for example, you can't stop someone from "Following" you, they see everything you post and can post a comment. The only way to stop that individual from commenting on your posts is to "block" them.
Here it's called "ignore", all the same thing really, useful to prevent fussing.
