I bought this today at an estate sale. The man of the house collected tractors and related stuff. This was in his garage. It's about 4 1/8" tall.

I'm hoping someone can tell me what decade (or year) it comes from.

I can't find another one online to compare it to. On the back there is tiny lettering stamped into the sides where the metal is stamped into a curve. One stamp says, Utica, NY. And another one looks like 1035S, but the "S" is partially stamped and all of the stamps are very tiny.

Can anyone tell me its approximate age? The whole piece is relatively flat, doesn't curve at the top.

I also bought this "Killefer" emblem. I don't know anything about where it came from, but It looks neat.

I started my shop selling vintage decor. Now I also have some of my acrylic paintings in there. https://www.etsy.com/shop/NowWhatWeGotHere My shop has been open a bit over a year.

I found this today in a thrift store.

The metal tests as 800 silver (tested by me).

There is a cartouche surrounded by a leather belt design, with a buckle, the design is similar to the "garter" in heraldry, I think. I don't know if other countries use the same sort of symbol. Not monogrammed.

It is a little cup or beaker, might hold 8 ounces. About 4" tall. The cup was made in 3 pieces and as you can see has a heavy guilloche pattern on it that sort of looks like a basketweave. The sides of the cup are made of one flat sheet that was soldered at the opposite side of the cartouche, and the sides are crimped around the disk that is the base. The base looks like the bottom of a weighted candlestick, but this is not weighted. It is hollow. The handle looks like a solid piece.

It looks like maybe there was a makers mark on it, but if there was it must have been done very faintly.

Any ideas of where and when this style of cup was made?

I'm guessing the UK, but maybe continental Europe, and maybe Victorian or Biedermeier?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I bought this today at a thrift store. 8x10" It had a dilapidated mat and backing. Signed "Lenny '83". I wasn't sure at first if it was a lithograph, but it appears to be an original on illustration board. When I googled the image I expected to find other pieces by "Lenny" but nothing so far.

I think the story here is the dog had been chased by the geese, and they are looking for him, but he's smug knowing they can't get him now. The architecture of the room is interesting. I don't know about the style of the bed, which looks like it has a carved swan at the foot.

Just thought I'd share it because, to me, it's unusual. I wonder if Lenny illustrated greeting cards or children's books.

I didn't dig it from the ground, and it's not antique. But nifty anyway.

I can't find another one online. This is not a salt/pepper shaker, it has a metal lid with white enamel and the number 73 on it. The lid is slightly rusted inside and you can see some rust on the outside. The logo on the front is in all capital letters, the one on the back has just the capital "S". The bottle was made in Mexico. There's a triangle (pyramid?) symbol in the center and below that "69 5". The lid has a glossy cardboard liner, as if the bottle held liquid, but the cap is not a carbonated one. About 4 1/2 inches tall and holds 2 ounces (but there's no volume marking on the bottle).

Any ideas about when it was made and why? Is it a toy?

I painted this to sell. I love vintage fans. I really like the ones with brass blades, but this one has sort of hammered aluminum or steel blades. The painting is acrylic and charcoal, 12" square.

I have a photo of a "bipolar fan" from the Smithsonian (I think). I might try that one next. That one is really old. I love the twiggy looking cord.

I got a warning that my post is text only. But my post has 3 photos

There are no makers marks on this. The lid is heavy and has 3 seams that are visible on the stem of the lid. There are chips on the lid. There is a slight optic effect on the jar, there are subtle ribs that are evenly spaced from bottom to top. No seams on the jar part.

Any ideas of the maker? I only have the info I got from an AI that it was probably for candy, maybe herbs?

I got it yesterday at a thrift store.

Signed Baccarat on the side near the base, and on the bottom. It's vintage and as far as I can tell it's rare. The style is called Coquelicots. It's in nice shape with a few hard water spots on the inside. No serious scratches. I found a Baccarat vase before at Goodwill, but it had been an award and was engraved with something like "Maui 2003"

It doesn't have any maker's mark, but there are no seams on the jar, it has slight optic ripples, and the lid has 3 seams on the stem part. The lid fits perfectly. Got it today at a thrift store along with a really nice Baccarat 9 1/2' tall crystal vase, each was a bargain.

Any idea if the maker is know-able? AI says it's from around 1890 to 1910.

It's on a 12 inch square gallery wrapped canvas. It needs the brand name written in the top of the center piece. And the model name "Summer Frost" needs help. But I like how it's turning out.

I have never owned a bracelet like this before. The clasp is recent and goldtone. There are no markings on the round panels, except where someone wrote in cursive, very, very lightly with what looks like an engraving pen, "Sterling". I can't get the engraving to show up in a photo. Any ideas about its age? Most of the guilloche panel bracelets I've found online have rectangle panels. I got it for a bargain at a thrift store.

Some of my sashiko practice pieces. From a year ago. Since then I've done some on denim shirts with different colors, mostly off-white and shades of blue. I'm not following really traditional techniques, as you can probably see, and I'm not pushing for perfection, but enjoying the patterns and the experience.

I bought a distressed antique oval frame with a photo of an Edwardian woman in a curly lamb jacket. I bought it in California.

I recently took the cardboard and photo out of the frame andI was surprised to find that the frame seems to have been sold in a department store in Spokane, Washington.

I have a little familiarity with Spokane, but I had never heard of the Palace Dept. Store. The frame was made in Chicago.

I know the names of the patterns, Tree of Life and Chi Chi Birds. I have two of the Tree of Life plates that are 10 1/8" wide and one of the Chi Chi Birds wall plate (dish?) about 9 inches wide. The Chi Chi Birds dish has a really interesting shape, and it feels a bit like marble or eggshell, really different finish. I'm curious about when they were made, if anyone knows. I can guess 1960s, but maybe early 1970s?

When I first saw this I was sure it was a photo, but then after looking closely, it almost looks like a painting. So maybe it's one of those touched-up photos? Bought it today at a thrift store. The back has extremely fragile, crumbling black paper glued to the frame. The wood of the frame is beautiful.

As far as I can tell, this is a page from a tabloid size local St. Louis, MO, magazine. The gas company ad on the back mentions 1912/1913..
