Can someone help me date this shield back chair? I'm trying to get it reupholstered but I don't want to do any damage if it is old. Need advance on how to proceed! I believe this is the original upholstery. It had been recovered at least 2 times. Thank you for any help you can give!
Anyone have an idea of what this is - material/age etc
My boyfriend had a friend who was an antiques dealer who gave him this stone many years ago shortly before he passed away. He doesn't know anything about it, so I'm posting it here. Not sure where it came from, but probably Connecticut, Rhode Island or Massachusetts, USA. I believe it is white marble & It is engraved with C.F.A. Is it a property marker?
Hello! Theirs an awfully long story about how it got here but I don’t imagine it’s particularly relevant, just would like to know what this is worth! it’s a 0.5l Mettlach book spine stein, miners variant, and I can only find one sold listing online at 2100$ & no other listings, at all, not sure if I’m completely blind & hopeful, but would really appreciate someone letting me know if It could be at all what I’m hoping?
Found this sterling silver thingy at a thrift store. Thought it was a book mark, but the way the arm sticks out would make the book close weird. The only other thing I could think of is a hair pin of some sort. Please help! Thank you.
I’ve been trying to find one of these for forever and I cannot find one for sale anywhere.
It’s an old mechanical coin purse where the face actually opens its mouth and “eats” the coin when you push the ear. I’ve seen them called mechanical coin eating purses, German coin purses, etc. Some have the DRGM marking.
I’ve found a bunch of pictures and sold listings, but I cannot find one that I can actually buy right now.
Does anyone know where I could find one of these? I’m specifically looking for this face with the moving mouth.
I would really appreciate any leads.
My family and I might be moving from the UK to China and our flat is full of antique furniture and other antiques that we would like to take.
I have done some research about how to do this but it is always better if you can talk to someone first hand and was wondering if any of you have done this?
Maybe not in the same way but maybe in a more commercial business way, that would also be helpful.
Thank you for reading and I hope to hear some interesting stories!!!!!
Hello , I found and bought this local thrift store. My husband and I found this trunk intriguing and fascinating.
We have no clue what era this is from. These are pictures I have now but can get more later. Does anyone know any details or what year it’s from or what it was for?
