Hi bought at Car Boot 20 years ago. Never looked at them closely until now.
A Jeweller has just told me worthless ,fake "crap "..and took a file to them to show me the base metal .I know they are plate , and the marks may be fake . Did they make fake marks , for fake silver ware ?, I love them because they are pretty Art Nouveau Style ....Would love for someone to look at the "hallmark"..? please
Hand carved burl wood couch bought at a rummage sale for $75.00. Was told(unverified) that it came from an antique store where it was priced at $1000.00 and sold for $800.00(no dates available) then later donated to the church for the sale. Found some writing on the bottom side - JD White 1920 Albany, New York. I have no idea when it was made but would like anu help I can get on value and origin.
I've had the knife/dagger looking thing for over 20 years but I'm not exactly sure what it is. There is a hallmark on the base of the blade that appear to be 3 S's surrounding what appear to be a cross. It is very old looking and has a lot of details. The blade slides into a case that matches the handle. Not sure what material the case or handle is made of.
