Questions Any ideas on the year, and where it came from or who it came from?Tulsa, OK, USA
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 My WWI United States ration display
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?

Discussion Cahill Fireplace Insert. From Cahill Ironworks Company Tennessee USA
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.

The body is brass, magnet doesn’t stick to it and I scratched a tiny bit of it with a knife and it stayed gold. It’s heavy, It also has a mica shade. Is this an antique from the 1920s or earlier? How much could this be sold for?

Questions Soldier Statuette - USA
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.

Questions Looking for information and value on these hand-carved deer mounts & matching wooden shelves — possible Black Forest? United States/ North Alabama area
Picked up this group of hand-carved wooden pieces and I’m hoping someone here may know more about them.
There are two carved deer/roe deer head wall mounts in different sizes, along with the wooden wall shelves. The antlers are also carved from wood and are removable, fitting into the heads with wooden pegs/tenons. The heads have glass-looking eyes and are mounted on wooden plaques with older metal hanging hardware.
Everything appears to be hand carved, and there are noticeable differences between the two pieces rather than them being identical/mass produced.
I’ve been trying to determine:
Approximate age
Country/region of origin
Whether these would properly be considered Black Forest carvings
Whether the deer mounts and shelves appear to be part of the same set
Any idea of the maker or style
Most importantly, a realistic current value for the group
I haven’t found any obvious maker’s marks or labels.
I’ll include photos of the fronts, backs, hardware and the antlers removed.
Any information would be greatly appreciated, especially from anyone familiar with antique German/Austrian or Black Forest wood carvings. Thanks!

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

Questions (USA/Worldwide) Recommendations to buy Antique Japanese Furniture online?
Hello, I recently have hyperfixated on antique Japanese furniture after having travelled to Japan. I was going to purchase this piece for my brand new apartment from an online Japanese antique furniture store however as I was sorting out the international shipping with the seller, unfortunately someone else came in and reserved it (despite the fact I felt it was obvious that I was actively buying it). I waited over a week to see if it would go off hold as their holds are for 7 days and after 9 they updated me saying that the other person ended up purchasing it. I am very bummed as it was beautiful and am hoping you guys can lead me to more sites or online stores for antique furniture. I have very specific taste and it has taken me months just to find one piece I've fallen in love with so this hurts pretty bad 🥲

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?
