Ok I just got my metal detector today to spend some time with a hobby and the kids.





Well we go on our first little expedition in the yard and the first thing we find is this.





Its not magnetic, so its I'm thinking aluminum or copper. I'm thinking copper because of the green tint and brown color.





A few antiqe dealers around here think it may have been a makeup compact lid. but not sure.





The picture on the front is a triangle shape, with roses in the corners.

there is a naked woman in the prone position and what looks like reading a book.

underneath her is what looks like DEERE? DEER8?





It's thin and resembles a cap of some sort.





Any ideas?

Thanks

picture was given to us from old cleaned out house .

Hi. I bought this brown velvet loveseat, couch at a thrift store and was wondering if it was Victorian. IF so how old and what kind of wood? Is it hand carved? 

Please let me know if you have any idea. I'd really like to learn more about this piece.

Thanks! :)

Grandfather was a locksmith and passed away 2 years ago...was sorting thru his belongings and came across these door knobs...All locksmith work performed was governmental...I can remember when he told me that these knobs were very special...because of the hands that touched them. He told me that these knobs were removed and replaced with newer style knobs....so im not sure what the value if any would be on these executive knobs....very beautiful desinged as you will see in pics. Just trying to get some input on these knobs.
