  7. i'm not an expert, but that looks quite green---could be depression era, or maybe something in the more recent era (post-1958)
  8. what color is it in natural light? if it's green (rather than yellow or yellow-green), then it's probably from the depression era, when lots of glass companies added iron oxide to the glass to make it...

  24. It's been great seeing your collection come up over the past several days. I think most collectors think of classic rock before classical when it comes to vinyl, so I'm especially fascinated by your r...
  25. super cool! do you know what year/decade it's from?
  26. if i had to guess, i would say look into Ives trains, since they were one of the only brands making trains that early. it also looks like cast iron, which would be consistent with that, but it's reall...
