Lucky Dollar

Category
Coins and Currency
Condition
Excellent
Description

I got this about 23 years ago after my grandmother died.  It was in a large coin collection that was going to be sold.  I'm sorry I don't have better pictures.  Just in case I'll tell you about it.  It has "Lucky Dollar" on one side with a clover, horseshoe, and a star.  The other side has a dollar sign on it with a clover, star, horseshoe, and whishbone, the background on both sides has very heavy pitting and it has some marks on the top from what looks like it was poured into a mold.  It is really bright silver in color, very heavy for it's size, and I tried to sratch it with a sharp knife and could not make any marks on it.  Non-magnetic.  It is very old but there is no oxidization, could be platinum but could also easily be some sort of non-precious metal.  The embossing is very deep on the letters.  It is about 2 inches accross.  I don't know how old it really is because I never met my grandfather but from the pitting on from when it was made all signs point to it being very old.  I got it in Montana.

Oriental Dish

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Good
Description

The images on the piece may look to be a result of a bad photo, but because of the wear the images are not very clear. Oval raised sides. Design feels raised.  Images appear to be well worn with age. Where it might have repeatedly been held is worn.  The bottom is worn as well. There's no maker; name, date...anything. The bottom is rougher and worn on the edges. Since it is our passed relative's we would really like to know info about this piece.

Grandfather clock

Category
Clocks
Condition
Good
Description

This clock os from the early 1900's . Bought this many years ago off a family friend and it was in her husbands family since new. She told me that it was from 1900 to 1905. I have not been able to find any marks, dates on it. The clock still works , but needs tuned up. Would like to see this go to someone that is into antiques.
