  1. Hi LMB: I believe you have a horn. T A
  2. That's a nice idea. I see the good ol'boy never posted the other side of his "coin". I guess that will be his greatest fishing story. I guess everyone is allowed one ;) Cheers, T A
  3. Ahh, so you're on the second bottle of Rum... Gotcha. T A
  4. What I said was a last on a last holder is horizontal. A foot rest is tilted, heal down to be comfortable for the customer. Thus: http://www.warkov.com/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=999 T A
  5. Hi Lucy: Are you sure it is on ivory? It looks like a porcelain tile to me from the small portion that I can see. Porcelain painting was very popular in that time period. Either way it is lovely. ...
  6. MT: I guess anything is possible, especially if someone DIYed a stand, but the profesional stands I remember, both old and new used a holder with an indent to hold the heal. Nordstom still has a shoe...
  7. Yes Blunderbuss, you are right, because shoe polish is usually wax based, it would become slippery if their wasn't an indentation for the heal to catch hold. T A
  8. Andy Griffith's home town is Mount Airy, NC, and is cited as being the inspiration for Mayberry in The Andy Griffith Show. T A
  9. Hi dppeddler: It is a cobbler's shoe form. Used when resoleing a shoe. Some heals used glue and tacks to be held in place, this gives the cobbler a firm surface to hammer against without crushing th...
  10. "...conceal a small piece of ferrous metal" that makes it attracted to a magnet.
  11. You can rub mercury on a cent and it will turn silver in color. It's not alchemy, it's an amalgam ;) T A
  12. Here it is done with a gold coin to hold a watch inside, of course this was done with more skill and care: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2157661/Stunning-watch-hidden-inside-5-coin-King-Edwa...
  13. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/90505-trick-coin-machined-from-two-coins Yeah, thanks again, T A
  14. Hi Kid: Yeah there is a seam all along the top. Things like this are usally made for magic tricks. Altered, no mint error. T A
  15. There are still companies and individuals that make these. Also the insulators are missing that you would move the anode to control the discharge. You do not want to touch the metal. I would buy an in...
  16. Don't worry Blunderbuss, I only get them from the willing. I didn't forget, but you know when night fell, camps intermingled trading whiskey for food. Families may fight, but they're still brothers. ...
  17. I can enjoy it also for what it is, but not as a $20,000 piece of hype. If you paid $4.00 for a replica, I would say you got your money's worth here with it ;) Many people knowingly collect replica ...
  18. Scott: I collect souls. Please post the the other side of this piece. Thank you. Scott go pan for gold. I would rather be looking at pictures of nuggets you found then this thing. And I'm sorry th...
  19. Earth: Please show everyone the other side too. Or is that where this fantasy would all come crashing down? Yes there are restrikes, but the restrikes are of the reverse only. They only had the C...
  20. Well as you noticed one of the Leyden jar's is broken. You would need a replacement, not difficult to make. Love it! T A
  21. Earth: Like I said it's a lower case "r" for replica, the serif makes people think it's a "T". It's not your fault. It's the folly of America. Everyone thinks they are the smartest and richest person...
  22. Hi Hansel: You can try looking at www.spink.com a great London dealer. They have huge amounts of Roman coins. I was able to identify one of my Roman coins that way. You can view all of their Auctio...
  23. I would say The National Gallery in London would be a great starting place. They may request better photos: information@ng-london.org.uk This is a national treasure if authenticated, something that pe...
  24. I'm sure it's a clay/stoneware pot, find a glass wick holder, fill with liquid paraffin, and your all set. T A
  25. Wow! Amazing! T A
  26. Hi Toolate: Really nothing Catholic about it. The double headed eagle is usally Eastern European in origin, Slovic, Russian, old Germany. Wiki tells a good enough story behind it: http://en.wikip...
  27. Hi Earth: I think this is a battlefield gift shop coin some kid dropped. Here is one still on the sales card, the "r" or "t" as the person sees it as is on your coin as well. http://i1017.photobu...
  28. Wow a very nice Wimshurst electrostatic generator you got there. Be careful. Thanks for sharing, T A
  29. Hi RN: you may enjoy seeing this: http://absolutemichigan.com/michigan/highway-lighthouses/ Thanks for sharing, TA
  30. Hi Hobodave: I think it is US military. I have seen the maker's name on old U S Post Office Department uniform buttons. So I would think the city of Waterbury (CT) was in the US and not in Germany....
  31. Wonderful! TA
  32. Ultra cool! TA
  33. Hi Budek: I found her descendent's have made a family tree online: http://www.thacherfamily.org/tng/familygroup.php?familyID=F4051&tree=thacher and that she passed away in New Jersey. Such wonder...
  34. Hi Rodc: found a link to a more contemporary set, although your set would be a back saver;) http://www.steelstamps.com/concrete-stamps.html Later, TA
  35. Hi Filmnet: it's still fixable. Use a small tool to scrap the blued soap out of the holes and pits, fill with some plaster. You could always do a faux finish to look like bronze or gold leaf it. Cheap...
  36. Hi Pops52: What an absolute gem of a timepiece. So sad that someone had to use steel to open the back case so many times. Thanks for sharing, TA
  37. Hi Filmnet: I think it's painted plaster or a cold cast stone,which has alabaster dust added. If you clean it well with ammonia cleaner, you should get most of the tar and nicotine stains off, but a...
  38. Re: "Copper isn't exactly the most abundent metal in Egypt. They did have plenty of brass for awhile after WWII from shell casings & were used a lot for years. Copper-?" Hi: Egypt had/has several cop...
  39. Hi rodc: I get the feeling this is a concrete numbering set. Thanks for sharing, TA
  40. Hi Xdtinman: I would think this falls under Eastlake Furniture. Thanks for sharing, TA
  41. Hi Heron: The man wrote an autobiography, it's worth a look. Thank you for sharing, TA
  42. Hi Hacovo00: Some resturants spend millions of dollars on decorating the interiors. Therefore these assets need to be inventoried and accounted for, hence the name and barcode. I'm sure somewher...
  43. Also look at the obverse between Liberty's head and the liberty cap on the pole, you can see the loop of the ribbon from the bottom of the wreath on the reverse. TA
  44. Hi Missy: This would be a visible die clash reverse. It seems to be very common, in fact many times it is not even mentioned when offered for sale. If you flip the obverse picture upsidedown, you can ...
  45. Hi Karen: I agree, many possibilities, top of a mirror, top edge of a sideboard, top of a headboard, upsidedown on a table between the two legs... Very nice, thanks for showing, TA
  46. Thank you very much for posting your find! TA
  47. And some history: http://edhammond.blogspot.com/2010/09/ks-beverages-my-grandfather-beverage.html Enjoy, TA
  48. Hi: it is a K's Real Fruit Berverage bottle.
  49. Hi, Asia is a broad area that includes India. Stylistically, yes it is Asian. And in a functional form, it is still used to this day, called tingkat, or tiffin.
  50. Hi it looks like someone's lunch box from Asia.
