  1. Great job on the repairs! Seeing this reminds me of a lady at our work that used to give me grief during duck shooting season calling me a duck murderer!! This carried on for years until I found out...
  2. He is very regal!
  3. If old and valuable cleaning may not be a great idea as the pattina of old items is usually more valued than polished up looking like new.
  4. I'm envying this one :)
  5. Lovely piece and it's big, shame about the petal & leaf but do you grow old waiting for another....nah... I would have grabbed it too!! :)

  21. no problem, your posts have been helpful in identifying pieces I have :)
  22. House of Harlow.
  23. could be WMF Germany who have been around since the mid 19th century. Probably where silver plated.
  24. Neat tool! RobH link got me interested in finding out what it did, after a bit of Googling and looking at various pages it looks like they were used for finishing of the loop on aircraft control cables.
  25. If it is uranium glass it will react to UV light, you can get UV torches and lamps but introducing sunlight that has lots of UV can make it glow in the right conditions, best at sunset where the visib...
  26. Have you checked if the green glass is uranium?
  27. Your garden seems to be in full spring mode!!!

  31. By the looks probably a new Chinese piece.
  32. Great find, thankfully that wonderful frog missed a date with the scrap metal dealer. There is also extra detail in the top grill and it''s nice how it goes all the way down to where the vase expands ...
  33. Wonderful piece!! Love the colour and even the little feet appear to be unblemished.
  34. Not sure what it means in the US but here a Hospice is for people on their last days/terminal illness a bright cosy place but with all the medical care too. The Hospice shop is a fundraiser for the ...
  35. that is cool, looks better built that some full size cars :)
  36. very satisfying when you manage to do that ????
  37. Hi Marin, is there a hallmark on the silver caps? You may remember I showed a pair of 4 sided ones 3 years ago, only one had the silver top and only the assay office (London) and year (1903) where rea...
  38. I was wondering if maybe the missing piece on the side was a thermometer as for accuracy changes in temperature could upset the clock, the pendulem length would change. I googled the maker to find ...
  39. https://www.flipclockfans.com/forum/articles/25787-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-seth-thomas-clock-company
  40. there is a company called "MEL LIVING Nordic Lifestyle" maybe Cosat Boda made them for them.
  41. Is the darker piece glass?
  42. We also have them here in NZ, very good mimics! We had one in our garden that used to make sounds like a telephone ring, very confusing at times :)
  43. Beautiful clock. Have you tried holding the weight up a little to take the strain off the mechanism when you wind it? Not too much as you don't want the wires to tangle. My grandfather clock was bu...
  44. wonderful job you have done there, it wasn't looking good in the first 2 pickys :)
  45. Not in the same shop!!! :) :)
  46. Thanks for looking and your comments Kevin. I remeber seeing one of the Chinese factories on the TV a few years ago when they have Chinese New Year and all the young workers from the countryside get ...
