  3. Thanks for the lead johncobb! I googled Kensington art school in that time frame and there were a few artist doing portraits like mine. A few years ago I was in the park across from the school. But...

  6. Thanks, DrFluffy. :-)
  7. Thank you for all your comments. The center stone when you use a loupe, has some cracks in the coat and it appears to be white clay or pottery beneath. So I don't think it is, but I can have my fri...

  17. I don't know if the man was trying to rip me off. But it did seem he was not very knowledgeable about the value of Fahrner's. I only sold him two pieces of jewelry and he paid full scrap value for t...
  18. Hi lr44, sorry I missed your message to me 5 months ago, I don't think I ever actually got it. Today I was checking out images on fahrners and saw your bracelet. So. The "original Fahrner" mark th...

  28. I have an eBay store. This necklace wasn't mine, my friend said she needed the money (House was in default) and she never wore the necklace. I tried to talk her out of selling it because she would ...

  37. I would give this one a vote ... awesome!
  38. Very nice lamp! Can you see any marking on it? I would suggest checking around the top and bottom of the swirled brass, and also the back of the base. Let me know what you find! If you see somethi...

  41. Hi Stonesfan1, I asked my dad what the engine was, he sad it was a manual transmission with a high performance 302 ( "it was fast as well as loud"). He replaced that engine with a 289 and took out ...
  42. Hi Lucy, Do you know who made her? Are there any kind of marks? A lot of them are unmarked so its ok if it isn't. Can you put her on Show & Tell? If you can figure these things out you can get ...
  43. Awesome Matisse copper bracelet!
  44. Hi, I have a bunny that may be similar, the eyes feel like leather buttons and has a similar stitched face, on mine the clothe tag is in the ear (check to see if there is something on yours that may...
