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...

Local school thing. I knew I was going and knew I would spend money. The pickings were very slim. I bid on and won these. 3 cups and saucers each marked differently on the bottom 2 with crossed arrows (Arnart?)one with numbers only. 2 lily vases both marked "MA". 1 little poppy cup marked "Italy" If it looks like something other than junque, I'll post on PGP. Patty Oh! and Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I just need to get this off my chest, cry for a few moments, and then get on with my life.... About 3-4 years ago I attended an auction where I purchased a large, pulled loop ruby colored glass vase for about $50.00. I thought it was a fabulous vase. The bottom had an old piece of masking tape identifying it as Vineland Glass, NJ 1900. I tried the glass board to get a positive ID, and no response. Usually the glass board can ID almost anything so I was surprised no one recognized...

This is not really my sort of thing, it came in with some Edwardian greeting cards in it, but I was wondering if there was any market for this sort of thing, and opinions on how old it is. I'm guessing 1950 or so from the style, but it could be earlier. It is about 6 by 4 by 3 inches, and looks a bit greener in real life.In fact. if you mentally replace blue with dull green you have just about got it . I know it says 'World Famous' but I doubt if they were world...

I've got the old perfume bottle from my grandfather and beside the bottle show "Prastara" made in poland so I listed it yesterday but today i've got the message from one of the buyer that "Prastara" is the trademark of his company in USA and tell me that I have to cancel the item immediately. Now I cancel this item already for that buyer because i know just a little about perfume but I really want to know about my item ! ! ! Because I'm really sure this perfume bottle is not a fake one...

I cannot find any documentation on this piece by 1847 Rogers Bros. The pattern is Heraldic. Bakelite knob on the lid and handles. Mint condition. Hammered with a very high shine. I know it's supposed to be plated, but it looks & feels like sterling, though not marked sterling or 925. It is 12" across including the handles. It is stunning. Does anyone have any info on this piece? Thanks! [IMG]Link[/IMG] [IMG]Link[/IMG] [IMG]Link[/IMG] [IMG]Link[/IMG]

I got this at auction recently where it was listed as Native American. Is that correct? I think maybe it is just a beaded bag with a Southwestern design. What do you think?

I've had this posted on a specialty site called "warbirds" for a few days with no luck, I think due to low traffic there, will try here even though this isn't an antique quite yet. But my question would be the same in 2041 if that helps any. Nomen. marked on tube: US NAVY BUREAU OF ORDNANCE AIRCRAFT TELESCOPE SIGHT-MARK V MOD 1 INSPECTOR H.T.M. NO. 4XXX MADE BY WOLLENSAK OPTICAL CO. ROCHESTER NY 1941 Description: Black enameled telescope tube, large red rubber eyecup,...

Hi I put this on the Needle Arts board but no responses yet. Maybe someone here? Here is a 22 x 16 inch embroidery of the Great Lakes. I'm wondering if anyone recognizes it (was it made from a kit)? And does it have any collectible value? A neighbor offered to buy it but I'm not sure what I have. Thanks so much and Happy Thanksgiving! ~Judy~

Some people have mentioned that they miss the old art appreciation thread so this is an attempt to resurrect it. Rather than rehash what has been done, I hope this thread will be a continuation of the original thread. For those not familiar with the thread, if you search Art Appreciation 101 you will find the archive for awhile yet. While the original thread was titled as a class might be, I did not intend for it to be a class. The hope was that this would be a place where art could be...

Does anyone know anything about this company? (Some parts, such as finial and stem I believe are replacement pieces.) Any info on this item is appreciated. Thanks.
