  1. Hi, I don't know how old yours is or the manufacturer. However, the first collapsible telescopic pocket cup was invented by John Lines of Waterbury, Connecticut, USA, for Scovill Manufacturing Co., pa...
  2. Beautiful pieces, martinla56. This is from the "Transferware Collectors Club Message Board" and I think it will solve your mystery. The answer posted by Andrew Pye sounds spot on as he states t...
  3. Very beautiful and similar in design to these by Hermann Bauer: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.von-zezschwitz.de%...
  4. It is a variation after a lithograph or chromolithograph published by Muller, Luchsinger & Co. , New York, copyrighted 1901 and titled "On Guard" No. 27. Some examples: http://www.etsy.com/listing...
  5. Very interesting information, to say the least, but I am curious, miKKo. Bill's Belgian Website has photos of two other variations of the same PLAQUE. Since you initially enquired about the PLAQUE, I ...
  6. Hi, Lisa. Beautiful tray and if one owns silverplate, then you can't do better than Elkington. Just a quick bit of info. Are you sure it's plated over copper? Since Elkington developed the process ...
  7. "Lincoln by Fire" by Alfred S. Campbell. From Jack Smith Lincoln Graphics Collection: "Lincoln by Fire. Artist: Campbell, S. Publisher: Campbell Art Company, Elizabeth, N.J. n.d. Hand colored co...
  8. His full name is Joseph High Eagle, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota.
  9. LOL, ... is a "typo."
  10. Correction, sorry it's late. I misspelled Bicknell's name several times --- Bickell is a type.
  11. BP, thanks for scanning it to show the A. H. Bickel printed lower left in the carpet. I don't think there is any question that yours is NOT one of the original prints from 1881 since the pamphlet s...
  12. Lovely, mrgvintage. sharon, here is the certificate that comes with Marena jewelry. source: Let's Get Vintage website http://www.letsgetvintage.com/moreinfo.php?id=178 From the Trademarkia web...
  13. I can't speak to the age, authenticity, or the artist. A wild guess is that what you have appears to be a print and you stated it says "H. Bicknell." It depicts Albion H. Bicknell's work (which was or...
  14. Jason, you are correct, but specifically, T.H.G.E. is the acronym for Thin Heavy Gold Electroplate http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_18K_THGE_inside_a_ring_mean As you said, it is plated with...
  15. Scott is the expert here but will just state that Frederick E. Loxley of Cranston, RI, was the chief auditor for the State of Rhode Island. http://books.google.com/books?id=C8ASAAAAIAAJ&q=%22frederic...
  16. I think these are great but unfortunately it appears their value is nominal. Yours has great graphics that distinguishes it from the ordinary. If "Betsy [can't read the name] was someone famous, I wou...
  17. Thanks, oilman, good information. You have become quite a connoisseur. :-) I have never dealt with Matthews but have read about their auctions in "Maine Antique Digest." They do get great prices fo...
  18. I suggest that you email Matthews Auctions, with photos, and get an auction estimate. Remember, condition is a very important factor. They have sold this sign in the past: October 16, 2009, sold fo...
  19. Your family history and collection is incredible. What great photos!
  20. Teresa, here is the "general" rule according to Bille Hougart's "The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks," 2001: "Dating: While dating Mexican silver is problematic, a few general gui...
  21. Here is some information from Mark Rogers's website, The Trayman: "The quality of the manufacturing process can usually be identified by who manufactured the tray. If it is a Chas. W. Shonk tray, y...
  22. This CDV is beyond exceptional. You said it best that the use of blocks to spell out the names is "ingenious." I think what I love even more is that the pull toy horse is named BOB, which is a sto...
  23. Hi filmnet, more great photos. I tried several times, and just now, to post a comment about your group of antique spectacles but for some reason it won't post. So, here is my comment about your col...
  24. Your picture definitely depicts the an interpretation of the inaugural oath of George Washington. The paper looks new to me (especially the white margin) but it's very difficult to determine anything ...
  25. The tray you found says it was manufactured by the Standard Advertising Co. http://trayman.net/TrayDetail/Factories/Dicks.htm Here is a tray like yours with the red border. It's an Acrobat file, t...
  26. The flag in the background makes this breathtaking. Another wonderful photo, Scott.
  27. Hi, filmnet, I will give you two good websites for you to research. It's hard to ID them specifically without seeing the details in person. So, you have your work cut out for you. The first site wi...
  28. oops, broke the link above. http://catalog.sonomalibrary.org:8080/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=13G9222038LF0.8984&profile=hist&uri=link=3100013~!31568~!3100001~!3100002&aspect=subtab27&menu=search&ri=1&...
  29. It's a lovely piece but were you ever able to confirm whether Nason was the designer since Cenedese was unsure? One would think they would know. http://www.fossilfly.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=3822 ...
  30. Scott, you were fortunate to locate the filed patent for the corn popper, which really authenticates the photograph. Great research and observation that there is a slight modification in the one shown...
  31. Correction to # 7: "I looked at what little work I could find by Sabbet and in my opinion the painting shown here has no similarity in style or genre to 'Saibet or Saiber and the picture posted by...
  32. Maura, it's a very pretty lamp and know you will enjoy it. The trademark "Heart Tiffany" was filed on March 26, 1982, but was revoked by the trademark appeals board on May 3, 1985. source: http:/...
  33. I looked at what little work I could find by Sabbet and in my opinion the painting shown here has no similarity in style or genre to Sabbet: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Francois+Jean+Sabbet%22+...
  34. The "Dresden" part is a mystery to me also and I didn't find any Dresden manufacturers, in any book, who used a caduceus. I am far from an expert from it looks English to me. It also appears there are...
  35. Robert, a great item in wonderful condition and an even better negotiation. I loved reading your story. I thought you might want to see a January 1948 ad that shows your GulfMarine White Gasoline g...
  36. Yes, a very nice piece. If you turn the last photo 90 degrees counterclockwise, the character on the right appears to be a very worn character mark "jungin" meaning "pure silver" (usually .950 and ...
  37. filmnet, I still can't get over the huge and fascinating collection of family history. The journals must be quite an experience for you to read. Just a little about the photos. Pun Lun [or Pun-L...
  38. vetraio, I think we will both be up for awhile looking at the incredible objects on the modernism site that has the Christofle tea set. :-)
  39. It really is a fabulous art deco piece and does resemble the Christofle tea set designed by Christian Fjerdingstadt: http://www.modernism.com/french+art+deco+tea+set+by+christian+fjerdingstadt+for+ch...
  40. The signature looks like Saibet or Saiber and I didn't find anything. My guess the artist is unknown and one of the many who painted this genre for commercial purposes. It's a very beautiful painting ...
  41. Dottie, I first thought it was an antique chocolate mold and hadn't seen a cake mold. It's just fabulous! It seems you have the original vintage Griswold lamb cake mold no. 866. This listing had t...
  42. I think you are probably thinking of the art by Édouard Leon Cortès (1882–1969) who is so well-known for his Parisian street scenes. http://www.google.com/search?q=Edouard+Cortes&hl=en&client=firefox...
  43. James Archibald Mitchell III (1932 -, Baltimore, Maryland) did a series of prints on heavy paper that look like canvas. The series included yours, the "Friendship," and the "Recovery." From askart...
  44. I certainly hope that the poster, Sandypay, comes back to read this. What I have gleaned from James's post, his/her First National Bank of Dixon "1902 blue seal" can be considered "rare" [legitimately...
  45. Scott gave VERY accurate information, including the current average selling price for an exact Chelsea WWII Navy bulkhead 24-hour movement with phenolic case like that shown by tammyt39. The market...
  46. Fantastic research, Manikin. You are always so helpful. The Internet is great but it still can't replace the definitive reference books. :-) Barbara, sorry you have to sell your Patty but she is so...
  47. The artist is Carlo Ciappi and all the works I saw are signed "C. Ciappa." You didn't state the size of your painting but current auction sales --- in this market --- are running between $300 and $500...
  48. These four goblets are similar and sold at a 2005 auction for $600. I think your goblet is more delicate embellished and beautiful: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/724679
  49. Great identification and info, pete. This one sold at Skinner's July 2006 auction for $1,200: http://www.skinnerinc.com/explore/sales/2345/lots/557
  50. vetraio50 is right --- don't touch it. If you have one of the original mid-century modern lounge chairs, it was made from Brazilian rosewood veneer, Italian leather, and the upholstery was down-filled...
