Early 1900's Farley & Loetscher Cedar Chest with copper hinges and front lock plate. Metal tag inside lid reads " Farley & Loetscher Mfg. Co., Dubuque, Iowa". Maker's stamp inside lid. Some scratches on the top but very sturdy condition. Missing one wheel.
I recently came into possession of this scale. On the bottom it says made in italy. It’s super heavy, and I believe it’s brass and solid wood of some kind. I’m hoping for help in identifying it as I’ve seen some go for a good amount of $$ online.
Hi all,
Have acquired these 2 miniatures and was wondering if people would be so kind as to give me their thoughts.
The first one is definitely painted, and appears to be painted on ivory. There is a small chip in the paint you can see in the photo, but not really visible when in frame. There is some sort of signature or name, but can't make out.
The second one is also backed on ivory I think (there is paper backing over the top I don't want to remove) and certain parts of it are definitely painted, like the jewellery and dress, but not sure on all of it, is hard to make out. This one looks Edwardian, while the other is earlier.
Both are in quite old brass frames.
Thanks for any thoughts!
