Have some papers that vaguely give certain incidents,area,timeframe and by checking with actual events,dates,etc the best timeframe falls within one of the many conflicts of Russia and the Turks. A wounded member of the Janissary reportedly gave this to a surgeon who patched him up in the field and since the Janssary were disbanded in 1826 the only other period that fits is the time of the Russo-Turkish conflicts between 1735-1739.I had also checked the events of 1854-1855 regarding the Crimean War (Charge of the Light Brigade),but again since the Janissary disbanded in 1826 it doesn't fit. Would be Happy to hear the thoughts of others and any added information regarding this piece. Did the best I could on these photos,if need clearer contact me and I'll try again. 

This photo shows Bob Hope, Frances Langford and some other unidentified male on a small stage performing for the troops in Sicily. All three were looking at the camera. The picture is small but very clear and in great condition.  There is not picture to down load at this time to post.

I do not want to sell this photo at this time, looking to see if there is any value. I have other WWII photos taken from 1941 to 1943 and also 2 photos taken inside of a concentration camp.

This is an unopened bottle of  tequila and has a certificate of authenticity on the bottle and box.

I have been searching for days trying to find something like these pots, and I finally did.  They appear to be made from the same material and process as a couple of pots I found on Antique dealer web pages.  I am hoping to confirm.  I had purched these pots from an Antiquities dealer who was importing from China.  All of the other material he was dealing in had paperwork with it, and considering the prices of his other stuff, these pots seemed to be container fillers for him.  He told me that he could get no more of them as they were either gone, or not available to him any longer.  I bought all that he had.  I have about ten pots in all that I got from him.  I have included two other examples of what I found that seem to match what I have.  Mine is the shallow pot with dragons, the other two are examples which match everything that I can see from the pics.  Here is a link to the pot I am currently selling on ebay.  The pots below are examples of similar.
