Neighbor was clearing out their mother's home after she passed and gave us this to resell. Trying to find the pottery's info just brings back everything but (curse generic brand names of early capitalism). Does NPS stand for National Potters'...Something?
Any help appreciated!
Unmarked porcelain bell found in USA estate sale, some people tell me it's 1910's, I think it might be younger. Uses a chip instead of a round bead for the noisemaker.
Antique or just vintage?
Found at a living estate, no one there had any info about it or cared for it much. I only found one other like it online being auctioned in a different estate and that source calls it Fenton.
It's about 15"-16" tall and comes apart. Does it have a purpose, or is it just pretty? I do hope to resell it, but for now it's pretty cool workmanship just to admire.
I am always surprised by the range of styles they had.
Michigan, USA. Poking through grass in a recently mowed spot. I believe they follow a root system based on the trail they create.
The only one I kinda wanted was broken anyway.
My family has a stack of old laptops and phones that aren't lost causes, but we simply don't have the time or skills to repair them. Needed medical, business, and legal info are also trapped on a few. We checked out the local repair place in the town we recently moved to, but it's red flags aaall around. I also read mixed reviews of places in nearby cities, many citing stuff like "never returned item." These places are a drive for me, so I'd rather not throw out gas money on top of a bad repair.
Open to suggestions on mail-in services you personally reccommend, or even a repair place in or near Lansing that you swear by.
Please and thank you!
(Michigan, USA) Clearing some vine overgrowth, and found this nastiness on this one piece only. Not concerned for the vine, only the possibility of it spreading to other plants. A lot of plants on our property have some sickness and for now we blame the cornfield across the street. Any thoughts appreciated!
(Michigan, USA) It can't stay growing in the fence, but we can try to transplant it elsewhere depending on identification. Much thanks in advance!
[Michigan, USA] Delightful ground plants with fuzzy/prickly stems. They don't flower, iirc, or try to take over, but do provide shade for my tortoises 😊. If they are native we want to encourage them.
Thanks in advance!
