[QUOTE="Rory, post: 283439, member: 5593"]Hello, Ive posted one of these pieces in the silver forum, but Id love some insights on the rest. I hope this is the right forum in which to do so. :) I recently bought a box of (what I thought was) faux tortoise shell objects in a goodwill store. Upon closer inspection and with some testing, I discovered it is all genuine. Alas, I dont know much about tortoiseshell, so am wondering if anyone here can shed any insights with regard to certain objects, ages, values etc. (Im not looking at selling just now, but would like a ballpark). Thank you for any help you can offer.
