This is a very old "Blue and White Oriental Cup" that's signed on the bottom. The cup has "Brown Iron Spots and a Crackling Surface" which helps identify this item as being at least several "Hundred" years old....
"The gun that won the west" ... 1873 model saddle-ring carbine in good condition ... 20" round barrel ... all stampings intact and readable ... one area of cosmetic damage on stock ... serial number puts its manufacture date at 1892.
I have a painting that I believe is at least 40 years old. It is an enamel on copper painting and has a "Certificate of Authenticity" on the back issued by Collier Art Coprporation. It says the artist is "England" and that the painting is entitled "New England Winter." The media is enamel on copper and it describes the size as 1-170.
Any insight you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
