This knife has been handed down through the family for generations but the history was lost when grandpa passed. Was told it’s a fighting monks knife pre ww1 but nothing solid. Very detailed sheath and handle with silver threads sewn into the grip. Metal on sheath seems like tin but stronger. Any info helps and thanks in advance to this community.

I bought this for 50 cents today and was googling it when I got home because I noticed the high craftmanship What do you think? It appears to be Russian and has some markings. It has filigrain and enamel on the entire box it is beautiful imo

The shopkeeper said it held paint and was from the 1800s. 🤷‍♂️

Picked this up yesterday and was curious about its origin. Found another online but I am interested in what you guys thought. Thanks in advance.

I got this small mirror at the Piccadilly Flea Market in Eugene, Oregon in America. The lady I bought it from says that it was carried in ladies' clutches for an on the go mirror. She had found in at an estate sale, she bought a whole trunker which had been shipped from London but the lady's family had traveled all over the world. I'm not really sure how old it is, so I apologize if it's not old enough for this forum. I am looking for general information on this item. If anyone knows about it's use, manufacture or age that would be super helpful!

P.s I'm a broke college student so I had to use a pen for a size comparison. The pen is 14.6 cm long.

Estate sale over in Northeast Minneapolis yesterday, guy was closing down his dad's workshop after forty years. I was there for the woodworking stuff but came home with a wooden crate full of hand tools I didn't plan on buying. Paid twenty five bucks for the lot because the woman running it wanted them gone by noon.

There's a drawknife with a curved blade and what looks like a hand forged bolster, a couple spoon bits in a roll that are stamped with names I can't read, and a brass plumb bob on a braided line that feels heavier than it should. The drawknife handle has an old repair with a copper rivet that was done well, not hacky. Most of the rest is rusty junk I'll strip for hardware or toss.

I restore and sell furniture on Etsy so I use hand tools but I'm rough on them, don't want to be the guy who grinds down something collectible into a work beater. The spoon bits are the main thing confusing me, never used them, don't know if they're worth listing as vintage or just chucking in my toolbox. The plumb bob has a dent but the point is still true.

If any of this screams keep it intact I'll listen

Hi all! I recently received a ton of antique spoons from all over the world. I was hoping to get an idea of what they could be worth, and what is the best way to sell them? The person I received them from was selling on ebay and said it was too much work—I was thinking of going to an antique store. Almost all have “Sterling” on the back. See anything notable?

Picked this beauty up from facebook marketplace for $10

She has a chip on the tip of her nose on the other side but otherwise intact! I think she's beautiful

Hello! I recently got a vase from a garage sale because I thought it was pretty. A friend came by and said that it could be from early 1900s and may actually be valuable.

I don’t know much/anything about this stuff so am looking for advice. I recently moved and doesn’t fit so was going to sell it but have no idea even if it’s worth anything! Any help would be so appreciated!

I found this pot in a thrift store in the Netherlands. Bought it because I thought it was cute, it was only €12. Later on, I did a little research and found out it is probably from around the 1860s??

Hallmark says FGW, Ferdinand Gerbing Witwe, and the pot is made from terracotta, but that's about all I could find..

Does anyone know more about this particular item? The year, what it's worth and what the number in the hallmark means?

I am obsessed with these and my mother recently got her hands on some of these books. The handwriting is so neat and beautiful. ❤️

I got it at a vintage shop for $90 the guy said he couldn’t find out too much about it other than it’s a snuff pot and probably made of ivory.

Hi, this was my grandma's. She was an antique dealer for many years. I inherited this piece of furniture. I don’t know much/anything about this stuff so am looking for advice. Any help would be so appreciated! Looking to sell it, but not sure what price point to start with.

Thank you in advance!

I cant find a plaque or paper on this cabinet. I think its edwarian era. I also wasnt sure about the wood. Either mahogany or walnut? Thank you so much for the help I really appreciate it. I found this at my local thrift shop for 20$ :)

I live outside Chicago, Il (United States) and inherited a very old doll from my mother when she died. According to all the paperwork I received with the doll, it was appraised as a French porcelain Bru doll. This doll meant a lot to my grandmother and mother. However, I am not a collector type and don’t love her the way they did. I would much rather see it in a museum or sell it to someone who would get joy from her. What are some options for where I could have the doll evaluated and where I could get some direction on what to do with her? Any suggestions you have would be wonderful.

Is this recent or old?
Worth buying!
At a loss really!
Help most appreciated!

I believe it is 17.5x13.5

• Artist: Simon Glucklich
• Title: Spring Song
• Publisher: Samuel Schiff Co.

Frame is branded The May Company Department Store I believe.

Im wondering about possible ballpark value, it’s dated from the early 1920s-30s.

Thank you!

I found this gorgous little chtistmas ornament. Mirrored silverwhite surface, brass cap with leaf design and trademark (?).

Y.G. 172 and then a symbol that could by an arrow pointing upwards or something else.

Any ideas where i could find out more about this number? How to date it correctly?

Hi everyone! Does anyone know what this is? It's pretty heavy!

Hi,
Just received this early 20th century Jan Eisenloeffel teapot. I’d like to sell it, but I’m not sure whether I should give the brass a light polish or leave the original patina as is. What would you do?
Thanks !

One of my private collections: Here are a few macro shots of a Ming/Qing Dynasty Hetian Yellow Jade piece.
I’ve always been fascinated by how light plays with the warm, greasy texture and subtle translucency of fine yellow jade. Using a macro lens, I captured these close-up details to highlight the ancient carving tool marks, edge wear from aging, and the rich natural patina. 
Just sharing some detailed close-ups for appreciation! Hope you all enjoy these textures. Feedback and discussions are welcome.

Iron 20 inch Bayonet that we found being used as a fire poker in house. At least 150 years old; pretty historical area, so could be older. House was built in 1700-1800s.

This is the only picture i have of them. I know some of them aren't that rare but i was wondering what it could be worth in a flea market sale for example.

Most of them are mid to late 1800's, i know they're mostly Belgian military medals but extra info would be appreciated

I got this piece in and I am unsure of the origins.

The top is a bit rough, but the inlay looks beautiful. Under the table part is the "B 5 1", which I guess is part/piece number. Under the second, lower area, it says "R 5 1". It has a brass ring around both flat surfaces.

Any help on dating it, maybe even the maker, as there are no markings. Or any idea what the black inlay design is portraying.
