Repair Shop In response to Daphne's request for new sidebar topics, I propose that we start a Repair Shop thread. I restore silver, brass and other metals for a living. I have a friend who cleans and repairs oil paintings. Ten years ago we started a club for people who restore fine objects and within a year we'd met quite a few (27) very interesting people - many of whom lived too far from Orlando to come meet with us, and all of whom were too busy to run a growing club. We don't meet...

Hi again! This is a 9 3/4" statuette marked "KAPYATIE" on the front base. (The "E" looks like greek letter- half of an hourglass shape). It has a nice weight of undetermined material. The back is signed "G.R." with an inverted pyramid shape of a bridge and "8T8" or "BTB" marking. Any help is much appreciated. TY -Abwitcht

Hi, It has only been snowing for 8 hours and we have 12 hours to go. We have 18" and some of the drifts are 5ft high. So much for the Jersey Shore makes me feel like I am back in the PA/West Virginia border. Greg

Hey there, and good evening. I have a few big original vintage johnson and johnson baby posters, but cannot find anything about them on ebay, google, etc. Does anyone know if these are worth selling through ebay? Or any sort of links that people collect these particular pieces? Any help is greatly appreciated. Talk to you soon, and have a great day!

This pin was up for sale and being a mystery lover I pounced on it. It's an enameled copper disk on a mystery metal background. There's a torch, and dates 1893-1943, meaning it's a commemorative of some kind. Ruth the Packrat She who dies with the most toys, still dies. When's the estate sale?

Hi. I have about 20 of these cards, they measure 9'x6". I just did a really brief history on cabinet cards but am still unsure how to list these. They are not original photos as I can see little dots through my loupe, so are these reprints? How would you list? All at once? Individually? Groups? Thanks for any help.

Hi folks! Recently acquired two pair of antique silver ice tongs, both with claw/talon ends. I've tried researching the hallmarks to no avail - I'm hoping someone out there will be able to help - I'm trying to figure out date, maker, country of origin and whether or not these are sterling or silver plate. The first, pictured below, are very heavy and the only hallmark I can find is this one i.e. what appears to be a satyr (I think) and to either side the initials OE....

I don't know anything about ukeleles. Someone on the music discussion board suggested I post this here. Can you tell me something about it? I don't see any writing on it, at least that I can see. Thanks for any help.

Anyone have any idea what these are? Some kind of clip or ornament. Maybe a hair or turban decoration?? hehe I'm at a loss and can't find anything remotely close to it online.. I'm told they're gold.. not sure if the stones are real but I think they are since they're very imperfect.. I would assume if they were real they would look perfect, no? They're very thin... I found them in my Grandmothers estate after she passed. I believe they were my Great Grandmothers.. Thanks in advance!!
