  1. Not a whole lot out there. :-( So, assuming (yeah) that it's genuine, it can't be older than 1926 because that style of backstamp was registered in 1926). As to the 1940s vintage per that one we...
  2. More about Carlton Ware: https://www.carltonwareworld.com/typesofware.htm https://www.thepotteries.org/features/carlton.htm
  3. Hi, Carol777. :-) Google Lens found what looks like a twin: A CARLTON WARE LUSTRE DISH. YELLOW WITH YELLOW DAISY-LIKE FLOWERS AND SPIKY LEAVES. L.170mm" https://www.cordys.co.nz/auctions/T002...
  4. BTW, I happened to be watching 1949's "The Hasty Heart" today, and true to historical form, actor Richard Todd (he was playing a Scots soldier at the end of WWII) is wearing that style of identity dis...

  6. Aight. I did a search of national archives records for the string "94673." I kept it as wide open as I could, and got 67 records. None of them also contained the string "Frankland": https://disc...
  7. dav2no1, "Great information kera! I'd love to see this go back to family. I've tried with other pieces and it's not so easy." You are my idol with that thing that you do. };-)
  8. "Keramikos ... Thank you so much, enough reading there to keep me going for a good while." You're quite welcome. :-) "From what I have read the PM is prob Proestant and the CK MK may be related ...
  9. This is a bit of a long shot, but this person might be kin: *snip* David Allan FRANKLAND COMPANION WHOLESALE SWANSEA LIMITED (08755366) Company status Dissolved Correspondence add...
  10. Here's a Primitive Methodist chapel in Swansea (no longer there, it was bombed during WWII): https://www.myprimitivemethodists.org.uk/content/chapels/wales/q-z-wales/swansea-jubilee-chapel-pell-str...
  11. D'oh! I just realized that because your disc has the single hole at the bottom, if it had been suspended from a cord or chain, it would have hung upside down. So, I just dunno. :-(
  12. Hi, LizzyCGB. :-) "I wonder if it is a war time dog tag. I've tried to work out the lettering and the name with no luck ...becuase I don't have a clue what I'm doing." I feel ya, because I've be...
  13. crazydanmusic, "Thanks does discogs have a phone number" If they ever did have a support phone number, they don't anymore. Support nowadays is strictly online: https://support.discogs.com/hc...
  14. crazydanmusic, "I’m the only one with this copy discord said they never had one please advise" I'm not sure what you're looking for in terms of advice. If you really mean "discord": there is suc...
  15. dav2no1, Yeah, you know I love me some patents, and when that February 11, 1894 wouldn't work, I had to broaden my search a bit. I think that PDF of Sommer's products could come in handy, because h...
  16. dav2no1, I looked into this, and believe I found the design patent. The patent date probably isn't 2-11-94, but rather 12-11-94. I think the "1" got clipped off of the date, just as the "P" got cli...
  17. Hi, BonnieDoon42. :-) Serial number B761146 is covered in the "B" serial number table linked here in the comments. If you couldn't find it, it's possible that you were thinking "B761146" would b...
  18. rlwindle, Dunno why cast-iron clocks were all the rage back in 1884, but people in that era were already accustomed to ornamental iron, possibly because of treadle sewing machines, and the creation of...
  19. crazydanmusic, mp.kunst, I see that the copy at discogs has been personalized: "Hand-written address on inside of J-Card identifies Vinny Ruffolo with a Greenwich CT address"
  20. dav2no1, How cool is it to have a mystery solved after five years? Plus, what a cute pastel. <3
  21. fortapache, Trash trucks, huh? I guess I can see being wary of a large noisy machine that eats things. With me, it was the old dark sump pump in a corner of the basement. Because it was dark, I cou...
  22. Hi, riecreating. :-) Yup, this is a pretty old post, OP dauntlessthedrab only posted this one item, and commented on one other post: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/2852-new-home-sewing...
  23. mp.kunst, the link is valid, but not clickable, because there's no space between it and the preceding "working:." There's also a picclick link for the same listing: https://picclick.fr/Photo-Ste...
  24. fortapache, Love me some cement trucks. <3 When I was a little kid, I'd always get excited at the sight of one on the road. With that rotating barrel, it seemed almost like a carnival ride. };-)
  25. Gargoyler2, It sure looks like you've done your homework on this.
  26. Steptoe1, Cool. :-) Google Lens found a lot of very similar Prinknash Abbey pieces, e.g.: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176571289673 https://www.etsy.com/listing/1648685897/prinknash-miniature-tan...
  27. Hi, NickyNackyNoo. :-) So you have a twin or near twin of the bracelet in this post. Cool. You can't upload pictures to comments on posts. What you would need to do is to create a post of your o...
  28. Aly, You're welcome. :-) I misquoted replacements slightly. What they say is "circa 1998." It looks like it also came in quite a few other colors: https://www.replacements.com/china-bordallo-...
  29. Hi, Aly. :-) Just thought I'd supplement what dav2no1 gave you. Per replacements dot com, that Bordallo Pinheiro pattern (Cabbage) dates to 1998: https://www.replacements.com/china-bordallo-p...
  30. Trey: "I’ve sent them several emails and haven’t responded to me either." I myself sent them some very specific requests: there were two vintage sewing machine posts that had been created by the...
  31. Hi, Pollymaybe. :-) Beautiful rug. Hopefully, CW S&T user CanyonRoad will see it, and weigh in with some expertise.
  32. Steptoe1, You're quite welcome. :-) To me, something like this is much more appealing than jewelry made with so-called precious stones. Not being an expert, precious gems like diamonds, rubies, ...
  33. Minnow2025, Beautiful quilt. <3 So you found a British treadle sewing machine for 5 bucks, and your machinist boyfriend was able to get it working without any difficulty? Yeah, that's the story ...
  34. scottvez, I think dav2no1 solved the mystery on one of the duplicate posts: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/326173-wwi-trench-art-food-can-or-shell-casing
  35. FYI, I've made an archive copy of this post (because the site has been acting fragile of late): https://archive.is/fhqtJ
  36. Beyermann, Thanks for the heads up! I took a look at it, but so far it doesn't seem like I can buy a PDF copy, because the interface wants a country, but the United States isn't in the drop down...
  37. vetraio50, I think dav2no1 nailed it on one of the duplicate posts: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/326173-wwi-trench-art-food-can-or-shell-casing
  38. Newfld: "Thank you kera, glad you can help with this, would give you a thumbs up emoji if they allowed it! Good luck to you, Dave & others starting a new forum. Think my post about suggestions has ...
  39. Carol777, That's great news! :-)
  40. kwqd, Dude. >8-0 It took my breath away for a second, but I understand your reasoning.
  41. Newfld: "Seems many members have this nihilistic attitude of abandoning a sinking ship....my belief is, it's a convenient excuse for those members who are tired of posting and/or supporting other m...
  42. BHIFOS: "and after futher thought that a lathe was used to do it." Very interesting. Those 1957 half dollar coins approach sterling (90% silver)!: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces28...
  43. inky: "Me too, sick to death with it, really gone to the dogs, such!!.. a shame it was wonderful place to share and enjoy everyone’s ‘stuff’..I hardly come here any more because of the way it has g...
  44. Hi, CollectiblesUnlimited. :-) I am definitely not an expert, but it looks to me like your 1957 fifty cent coin has been "spooned": https://coinauctionshelp.com/spooned_coins.html https://www...
  45. dav2no1: "The site has been slow and sketchy lately. I had been meaning to back up my posts for my own information..it may be too late! I'm gonna loose a lot of research." Dude, you have your wo...
  46. TallCakes: "I too have been noticing the error; especially when trying to access older posts. back-page and try again usually works but can take multiple tries." Yeah, that's what I usually do i...

  48. kwqd: "Eventually, something on the CW site will break and this site will be kaput. Saying goodbye to my CW Friends in advance!" I'm afraid you're right. :-( A little mood music: Bob Hope...
  49. I was hoping to find some website for stamps similar to what numista is for coins, and found this. Not perfect, but better than a sharp stick in the eye: https://colnect.com/en/stamps/stamp/187284-...
  50. Steptoe1, I especially like this one of the young princesses. Princess Margaret Rose. What an old-fashioned name for such a wild child. On a certain level, one might feel some sympathy for a person...
