  1. Yes I suppose your right there, red is normally danger. Bear with me and I will get a close up of the fitting for you.
  2. I think there is remains of glass inside, as though there was a liquid proof lining at one stage, that has now broken. Thanks for the love guys.
  3. Cheers Sean.
  4. Very impressed noob (my Catalan girlfriend also) Thank you so much for your insight. Did you study history of art by any chance?
  5. Cheers aghcollect & walksoftly
  6. Thanks for those links very interesting. When you say modern version, I guess it could still be quite old, it certainly seems to be. By the sounds of it you definitely know your stuff could you put a ...
  7. Cheers Noob, I am just looking at your links now.
  8. Just looked the Kendama up, I have seen it before but never new it was called that.
  9. Cheers TubeAmp, I hadn't heard of the Kendama before (I will look it up now) only the Spanish version which is very popular, "the Boliche" and the French and English types as mentioned before. Matt
  10. Wayne, thank you for your reply I appreciate it. I will look for those converted clocks, sounds interesting. If it was p.s.i would "175" seem the correct kind of pressure for a steam engine? I say 175...

  12. Thanks Blueyedame, I was also of that opinion until I searched for images of Franz Schubert. I am almost certain it is him now.
  13. Vetraio50 now you say it, I can even make out the small framed glasses on the cameo, which I had not noticed before. Thank you so much. One step closer.
  14. Wow, what knowledge on this site, thanks all for you input. Vetraio50 I think you may have nailed it!
  15. Cheers, Jewels you could be right. A few people have said Beethoven.
  16. Thanks, Sean. If I find out anything I will keep you posted.
  17. Thanks for the link above, I am just looking through them.
  18. I will take another pic for you, these are just images I had loaded on the comp already.
  19. And I can't find any markings.
  20. Hows that Sean, There is evidence of the pontil scar.
  21. Great cheers, I appreciate it. I will let you know if I manage to find anything.
  22. I heard that wiring can possibly help to identify the age of an item. The wiring that was on it seems very old. I can find no markings anywhere.
  23. I think it must of had about 50 years of dust on it alone. I could count the layers!
  24. Hey, thanks. And cheers antiquerose I will look more into the Czech suggestion. If you don't mind my asking... How would be the way to identify a repro from a genuine? I suppose many different factors...
    25. See more
