Received some Korean War era military uniforms and trying to track down some provenance. Can anyone decipher this?

I see other versions very similar but they actually say “Commander II” or “Commander 210” on the front. This one only says “Commander”. Is it an earlier model or what?

Thanks for any help!

A lot of 8 trombone mouthpieces. Full disclosure I do not play trombone so I can’t tell you for sure about shank size or whether it is Bass or Tenor Trombone, so please carefully review pictures yourself and ask me if you want additional closeups before purchase!

- Griego 11C

- Conn 2 (NOT “generic Conn”)

- Conn 12C

- Conn-Kenfield (Bass Trombone)

- Hüttl-CUP

- Another Conn 2

- Vincent Bach Corp 12C

- Another Vincent Bach Corp 12C

Asking $450 for the whole lot. Would prefer to sell as a lot but would consider piecing out.

So the motor runs but the bobbin seems to jam. I know very little about sewing so I don’t know how much of a repair this would be. Other than that the machine seems in great condition, the lamp works, the pieces seem to all be there and it comes with the hard case. The serial number puts it at around 1925 so over 100 years old.

Anyone seen anything like this? I haven’t been able to find a single similar set of documents. The aging of the paper looks genuine and period so I have no question about authenticity but I’m really just trying to find out what I have here.

Picked these up at a Militaria shop for $50 each but upon closer inspection the ink seems a little suspicious to me. It appears pixelated and blocky? Is this typical of prints from this era or is this likely a high quality replica? How can I be sure?

You will not sell a single one. I bought this whole collection for about $.60 per beanie thinking I could at least double or triple my money but holy shit what a mistake. Honestly I think I’m not even gonna touch stuffed animals again in general

Not only did I lose $170, I also lost my dignity, my life is ruined and now have to fucking find space for these pieces of shit

Edit: Guys i was joking about the $170 ruining my life lol.

......

Also, good news, i am in talks with u/tooFar_underHisEye. They offered to purchase the lot and they work with special needs kids and are willing to purchase it for a good cause!

Perfect for a man cave.

$50 for the pair

Croc not included

I know the first one is likely French but I don’t see any other marks on it. I thought they would have stamps on the barrel if they were actually military issue. The second ornate gun I just can’t really find anything about but it has a good amount of stamping so hoping you guys could help out

I believe they are all Whitetail deer

Hello I acquired this interesting beer stein at an estate sale today and am wondering about the authenticity of it. Is it a legit early 1900s piece or a reproduction? Asking because I don’t see any makers mark on it but I’m not sure if that is expected or not.

Seems to be signed in ink by Cardinal Carlo Furno and Gabriele Caccia of the Vatican(?)

Found at an Estate Sale. Is there even a market for something like this?

Hey guys, sorry not an actual Trombone player but I was handed a set of 8 trombone mouthpieces and need to identify them before I can resell them and I am having trouble with some of them and want to ensure everything actually belongs to trombone. Also which type of trombone (tenor, bass, etc). Also if anyone is able to identify how old some of these are that would be helpful as well.

Hello all looking for some information on some of these bottles I acquired recently. Obviously some in worse condition than others but wondering if there’s anything that stands out or is rare in this collection

Haven’t been able to find anything like it online. Does anyone recognize it?

They are mostly from between 1972 to 1976. Is it frowned upon to go on a search for finding surviving family members to see if they would like them? I’m a little overwhelmed of where to start. I don’t want to throw them away since they tell a story and obviously meant something to some people at some point.

It’s definitely old and likely needs some rework or repadding but could make a decent marching horn. Nothing obviously broken except the thumb rest has come off, which should not be an expensive repair. That being said, it has not been tested for playability! Please feel free to bring your own mouthpiece or reeds to try it out.

Comes with everything pictured

- Clarinet
- Case
- Stock Conn USA mouthpiece
- Selmer Paris mouthpiece
- Lyre

Asking $100 OBO

Stunning wall art piece. I believe it is Plaster. Overall good condition, some very minor cracking and if you look really closely but nothing major or too noticeable. Selling because I can’t really display it anywhere in my apartment haha.

Price is $300 OBO

Recently acquired this Civil War shadow box with a medal in it. I believe I got a good deal on the box, but I am a bit torn on the actual presentation. Apparently it was put together by descendants of the soldier in the 1980s(?). The box itself makes little sense to me. There are random seemingly unrelated Toledo letter openers(?) super glued around, the text of the labels and the photos are poor quality. I’m debating whether to take it apart and have a more professional version made. What would you guys do with it?
