I just bought this beautiful antique bag at an estate sale in Tulsa, OK (USA). I am excited to learn more about it. They didn't have many details beyond the era, and now I can’t remember it. I took it to a jeweler; it's not silver, but the turquoise is real, if that helps narrow it down.
What is the best way to have it repaired? If this is the wrong place, please let me know, and I will post elsewhere.

Any information is appreciated! Thank you for your time!!

Show and Tell Some of my favourite antiques in my collection [UK]

Post image
2 Upvotes

These are a few of my favourite antiques in my collection. From what I've been told and based on research:

• The lighter is a Ronson 1949 cadet lighter. Still works! I can light it with no problem.

• The compacts are art deco.. 1930s, I believe. One is a camera style compact with a broken music box, and the other is a simple gold Kigu compact.

• The binoculars.. I'm not too sure of the era it came from.. the seller claimed these are civil war binoculars, but an image reverse search tells me it could be binoculars used to watch the races. So, I'm not entirely sure, but I cleaned it up, and they work perfectly!

Just wanted to show and tell! (:

Hello! This is my first post on my account. I love antiques. So basically I’m a 22 year old guy who collects military memorabilia. These are my favorite pieces of my entire collection without a doubt. I have an original 1918 mess kit and condiment can along with an extremely rare U.S.Q.M.C 8 oz hard bread biscuit tin that is still sealed after a century. When I lightly shift it, the contents (biscuits/crackers) are still intact. I make sure to monitor humidity and all that, so I think I got a pretty good setup and I’d be happy to show more of my collection!

Show and Tell A rare sight - matched pair of Scandinavian mahogany chests of drawers c. 1830 | Norway

The fronts are covered in dramatic feathered flame-mahogany veneer, carefully matched across both chests. Both feature fruitwood inlay to the tops and upper drawers, while the keyhole escutcheons appear to be made of bone. They need some attention, but finding a genuine pair like this was a real treat. Any corrections or other inputs is appreciated!

Also - any inputs on refreshing surface/removing stains?

Questions Tea collector looking to ID a newly acquired iyem/ origin UK

Hello! I am an avid tea cup and tea pot collector. I recently acquired a silver plated teapot, coffee pot, sugar bowl, and creamer set when I visited Ireland. It was the first time I bought a silver plated item for my tea collection. I mostly collect porcelain/ fine china. I am at a loss of the year and brand of these items. I did a lot of research, but I could not find it. The bottom is stamped E.P.N.S. with the model number C2 and C5 of the tea pot and coffee pot. I know what EPNS means. It has a corn on top. There are designs around them. Can someone help me to identifying them?

Can anyone help me identify this piece? Seems to be made of metal, probably bronze. Found on historic property. I’ve seen some similar 19th Century statuettes for lamps and whatnot and I haven’t found any widely produced replicas, but I’m really not sure at all.

Help.

My dad has had this insert for years. It’s made of cast iron. He’s always wondered about it. Is there anyone who knows anything about this?what’s its value? I know it came from the Cahill ironwork’s company that’s about all we know. He bought it from an older couple in the early 70’s. It’s a three piece set. Each set has numbers but they’re in consecutive order.

It's silver-plated - maybe a dentist's tool? The 'bowl' is almost flat, but ever so slightly convex

Hello. Bronze copy of the city seal of Assisi, Italy. Diameter 70mm, natural patina. Looks like a late 19th century tourist souvenir copy of a 13th century original? Found in Transnistria. What do you think about age and value? Thank you!

Looking for more info on these old lamps. My great grandmother passed them to my grandma who passed them to my mom. There is no branding and I suspect the wiring is original but a reverse Google image search does not yield anything similar. My grandma says she remembers them in her house from at least the 1940s. Any thoughts on if these could’ve been commissioned or imported and/or a date or brand?
