  1. Hiya Old Boy, Well I don't know what it weighs but if it's over 20 lbs. it's doubtful it's a salesman sample. They just wouldn't have carried something that heavy door to door. It does look ...
  2. Thank You! I have had it for so long! Could never find a darn thing on it! Di
  3. They did have old "toy" stoves. Children actually cooked on them! Imagine! Now ours can't find their way home w/ out their I phones ;-( Any company name anywhere? even on the bottom? Di
  4. YUP @ EAPG & SILLY : Sorry I had to call out that story" immediately" Like silly said it's a free country & some people are free to fall for certain things andothers of us to call the B.S. card ;)
  5. LOL, AGREE TOTALLY SILLY! And I ABSOLUTELY did notice that the original story of it's history was totally ignored, which is why I didn't ignore it. IMHO It is a "Nice" piece. I had mentioned I had...
  6. Said it was a nice piece however the back story to it was just well, outrageous. we also said we couldn't tell by the picture rather it was plated it or not it was very hard to tell. Glad it's 1...
  7. Joanne, Is it me or is the back loop soldered on? Di
  8. AMEN SISTA! LOL
  9. @selenion Looking forward to it, please get the back also and a good one of the biting. Try always for nothing else in backgrounds when you can :) Di
  10. @EAPG OH I LOVE THAT EXCITEMENT TOO! The sending it for that short time won't erode it , it's the storing of pieces. I pack separately too when i ship, either jewelry bags or bubble wrap all in...
  11. GORGEOUS! Although I wouldn't describe it as millefiori ( a thousand flowers ), unless there are flowers I'm not seeing in the pics, It may hinder any searches etc. Di
  12. @EAPG & @Oldandsilly, Isn't it amazing how we can all look at the same thing, a jewelry lot, and see it so differently! I agree with both of you! I don't mind it if it is unsearched and a CHANCE...
  13. Hi, I see an ashtray :) for indoor outdoor use. I would say the time period is about right. Most likely made for export as it says " Made In India" to comply with laws. I could be wrong as they...
  14. Very nice! This is screaming Europe to me any way. Is that where she or her family was from? Di
  15. BTW he he is VERY MUCH active and still going, doing works in tin etc. I would mail his studio. He seems like an accessible man and you might get a response either declaring it is his work / desig...
  16. Akron Pewter doesn't seem to hit the radar either with collectors, company history buffs or even old directories. It may very well have been one of the many private studios in that area, just my gue...
  17. He is an 80 yrs. old sculpter / designer / artist. His vintage work is out there under several studio names, however the only "real association" or employment I have ever found him having with any one...
  18. Need clearer pics please & of the top. Natural sunlight would be best ;) Di
  19. AND YES SILLY! Some vintage & antique COSTUME pieces can be worth much more than a fine piece. Some were meant to last, in fact to do exactly that. They came up with finishes, especially brushed on...
  20. I agree with you both EAPG & Silly :D I thought I saw plating also, but can be hard to judge from some pics. The entire back story bothers me and I don't get it not being checked. It would have bee...
  21. I agree EAPG, I think i see base metal peeking out. Very nice piece though ;) Di
  22. Something is not adding up with the back story for me, sorry. Nicky Hilton was only married 2 times, Elizabeth Taylor & a daughter of an extremely wealthy oil family, they still are, very wealthy. ...
  23. LOL LOL too cute Anne! No way! You can see the bones are old and gorgeous! When most things, like rhinestones, or even crystal, would have automatically made us & even jewelers believe the bon...
  24. I'm confused , was she married to senior or junior?
  25. STUNNING Pieces! Don't think it's that much of a mystery. So many people have been doing DYI projects with old jewelry for so long now it's not only possible but probable that someone didn't real...
  26. Hi, These look an awful lot like old equine clamps. Would love to know if you find anything out :) Di
  27. Hi! It's very cute! Most of these items were made in japan, but you said there isno markings on this one except the sticker. I do suspect there was one that also said made in japan, or someone made ...
  28. Sure thing Alan, hope you are able to get a good current value! Please let me know if you do! Di
  29. Very hard to see in these pics, especially the most important pat in the second pic. Bit sad to say it's likely your bag is a fake of the Gucci Crocodile velvet series. It looks like they tried but t...
  30. Hi post your pics please. Natural sunlight is best and as Sean said no other objects. PLEASE be sure to post a pic of the cartouche on the inside with BOTH numbers in the same pic. :) Di
  31. AHH now I can see said the blonde woman :) Yes the companies you mentioned did have this color, but their pieces tend to be marked or documented. This is very reminiscent to either Portugal or Califor...
  32. Thehehe you are too cute! Can you post a cleqar pic of the numbers together? I might be able to tell you at first glance if it is worth researching. Fakes can be spotted be certain things just from th...
  33. Allan possibly someone from the foreign auction site can help? Maybe send it to them as an " I AM CONSIDERING putting this up for auction on your site." type of deal. They might give you a current...
  34. There ya go, If his back story is true it was more than likely for cutting bamboo etc. on farms. Could have been handmade. Hard to tell if handle is original to it, especially with those types of piec...
  35. I don't know, maybe it's the pic but everything about to me anyway screams not majolica. It looks almost opaque, the handles seem wrong, again could be the pic. If you are able to get one in natu...
  36. Hi, This looks like it is glass in the picture, is it? Di
  37. Your bag should have a cartouche inside with serial numbers etc. making it pretty easy to identify. Also what year is it from ?
  38. Hmm Frisco, interesting. The Negritos look more like Bowies don't they? I also see where it could be something similar, perhaps a golok found in Borneo and Malaysia for cutting bamboo wood etc. Hmm ...
  39. OH I just saw that was 2009, so it might have matured some!
  40. Hi Allan, Try this ;) http://phila09-08.eurseree.com/cgi-bin/info/agora.cgi?product=cn005 Of course I'm sure you know to use a browser that has a translate option. I understand w...
  41. Hi! Your coin is a 1992 Convention International Coin Proof Silver medal of 12 oz., obverse "Happy Buddha" "Hong Kong dollars at work" polished silver 12 oz. One sold for 10000 THB which I beli...
  42. Hi, W.S. George purchased East Palestine Pottery Company in 1904, was destroyed by a fire in 1914. They rebuilt in 1924. This pattern is actually out in many names under many companies, including S...
  43. Hi Stillwater, Try pressing the cartouche into play dough or a mix of flour & water. PLEASE post bk if you are able to make any of it out. It's a stunning piece. Hope it helps! Di
  44. Hi, Carnation corn caps were invented in the 1920's. The original Co. was founded in 1878! They had another partner come in ( Gerrad ) when one backed out to stop them from flailing. They are still...
  45. Can you please get pics of the marks better ;) I will do my best to identify it for you. Di
  46. Hi! This looks like a " Gut Blade " from the cut out and the large belly. These are used in hunting usually in the field, it helps cut with out damaging the meat. However this is not the "A typica...
  47. Hi, This appears to be a 1975 Fitz & Floyd tureen from the mark & Picture. I assume there is a cut out in the lid not being shown in the picture. Unfortunately tureens don't garner much value un...
