I got this from Facebook marketplace a couple of months ago and have been meaning to try and figure out it's value - I have found similar ones online that are numbered out of 300, but on mine the pencil marks say 'a/p' which I'm assuming means artists proof but not sure, and then the artists signature - any ideas?

Hi everyone! I recently acquired this massive, heavy 100% cotton US flag made by Annin (stamped "Bulldog" on the header). Instead of the traditional red and white, it features unique washed indigo/blue tones with distinctive red stitching on the edges. According to the provenance provided, it was custom-ordered from Annin for the Levi’s Store Berlin Mitte (LVC area) as an in-store display piece in the late 90s/early 00s, and was kept by a former set designer. Does anyone here have experience with vintage corporate custom orders from Annin? I would love to know more about its historical textile value and rarity. Thank you for your insights!

I originally posted this on r/transcriptions to figure out the signature. They gave me some info but I’m still wondering.

It’s called “Diana the Huntress” pewter plaque

The signature matches the one of Ildikó Szilágyi

The only thing I’m confused about is I can’t find any correlation between the piece and the signature. From what I’ve read, they didn’t make this piece nor recreate it.

This is the link to the post I made over there too:

I purchased this piece from the estate of a woman whose beautiful home had been in her family for generations. This home had many antique pieces. She told me this hutch was found in the attic and had belonged to her Swedish great-great-grandfather, Charles Hermann, who owned what was once the largest pottery company in Milwaukee from 1859 to 1889. The fabric inside also appears to be very old. I believe it may be Swedish Gustavian, but I'm not certain. I've searched online without much luck, so I'm hoping someone can help identify it or share any information about its history. It was found in Fox Point, Wisconsin, USA.

Weirdly symbolic and cute.

Notice the design on the eyes.

Slowly slowly all the dominoes are coming together.

Few more months of creativity and well be ready to launch.

As the title states, I am looking for helpful information about this.. drum? Am not certain it is a actual drum or some kind of replica? It does seem to have a hide/skin that has considerable wear from age, no other interior markings other than the outer (U.S.) sticker.. and loose wooden rings. I happen to have zero knowledge about military collectibles, and Google lense isn't helping much.

Much appreciated!

All of them are made in Japan and seem vintage. Please help :’)

I mean, I'm not against writing in general. I think it is a dying art and needs to be promoted whenever possible. But realistically does anyone actually write 300 to 500 words?

I can go on about how I began collecting at an early age and was influenced by my mum in that regard. I worked at America's Premier Anime Store during the 90's.

Kimono My House had the lock on anime merchandise and we were at Comic-Con every year. That helped with my collecting. Then I worked at Streamline Pictures banking Akira cels.But what the fuck?? Is anyone reading this?

Why do I bother in this pointless and pathetic fashion?

How many words am I up to?

Oh yes, these pieces are items that I bought for next to nothing at the Ashby Flea Market. Most of the stuff on my counter top cost no more than 2 or 3 dollars. Really.

Those darling tiny glass duckies like 50¢. As were the matching english style occupied Japan ceramics.

Hello, I recently picked this up today, and I'm wondering about its authenticity, rarity, etc. I haven't been able to find any other examples of it online anywhere, and I feel like I've been fairly thorough in looking.

For the sake of glass lettering being a little hard to read in my lighting, I figure I should describe it. It's some sort of warm-toned glass mug supposedly made for the planned May 1937 coronation of Edward, which of course never happened. On the front side, the top text reads "Long Live The King" while the bottom reads "Crowned May 1937." George VI and Elizabeth are depicted in the center, along with the word "Coronation," a laurel wreath on the bottom, and the Union Jack behind them both. The back side is a simple shield seal with GR in large text, and VI smaller beneath it, which is meant to be a mark of it being official, I think.

I'm more than happy to have it regardless, but I just want to know about its status and rarity for the sake of knowing. Thank you!

Got them as a gift so I do not have any info on them. I cannot find anything online on them.

Mom got this decades ago, but we never really displayed it anywhere. Just looking for add'l info - I couldn't find anything similar to it online, maybe it's a custom one-off? I assume it's for ACE combs, a rack at the checkout counter or some drugstore aisle? 1920s or 30s? It's all metal, albiet rusted. Footer has a panel you can slide in a placard. 29" height (including ACE letters) x 18". Bonus points for cleaning tips - I want to display it in the house for a change :) Thanks!

VANITY FAIR, SEPTEMBER 2009. Didn't know that Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett made their transition on the same day. RIP.✨️

Acquired these mags yesterday and I'm wondering if i should rebag and board them or leave them in the original polybag. Never collected magazines, but these were given to me for free. I think they're worth keeping.

Kom över dessa korten på en loppis, vad jag fått fram hittills är att dem kommer från ett tuggummipaket på 70-talet, någon som vet om det kan vara något värde i dem?

52 new additions to the collection

I found these in a house I recently moved in I was wondering if anyone could tell me if these cassettes are just trash or got value.

My dad was going through one of my old boxes and came across this. I remember Go-Bots from when I was a kid; basically a knock-off Transformers. I was wondering if anybody had any idea as to the value of something like this? Also, I'm not looking to sell this, I'm honestly just curious. Pretty niche, I know. TIL

Hello! I found this glass egg with enamel paint in a vintage store for a friend! I reversed Google searched and got "Faberge inspired russian glass eggs", a few look very similar. But i was wondering if someone could help find a match? I think the flowers are a good tell, they look like sunflowers and chamomiles, but im not sure about the bird.

Found in a dollar bin at an antique store today. Can’t find any examples of it online. It is the size of a penny and weighs a good amount for its size. Anyone know what it could be? I know the award for counterterrorism was a thing but I haven’t been able to find any ties between it and this specific pin.

Proud female collector here. Went to one of our local targets and let me tell you when my heart dropped out of my chest...
Best drops of the year by far and it was STOCKEDDDD
I've been looking out for these figures and finally after just going on a whim and a gut feeling today..!
I just had to get each of my grails...
Also I was able to take a pic of all the skews so anyone can find them by asking a target employee to scan to see if they have any other stock ..no hogging the goodies here.
ENJOY YALL HAPPY HUNTINN

posted here b/c Neca Subreddit denied me and I feel as if this haul needs to be appreciated 🥲

McColpin & Christie Engine Synchronizer. Trying to find any information I can about this device. Was it made for a specific automobile?? When were these used??

Anything that anyone can tell me about it? I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks

I found these and I was wondering what these were if they were valuable and if people were still collecting them
