I am not exactly sure what I have. I bought it from an elderly man that ran a run down junk store. I'm not sure if its a charm or figurine. Any information would be very helpful. Thank you.
I don't know much about the plate, it's around 15 cm circumference and has a map of Australia and animals on it. The back is quite worn, but the front looks great. I have searched the web for it and can't seem to find it anywhere so I'm wanting to know if it is rare and how valuable it could be.
Fringed buckskin suede riding skirt (spilt skirt) with two metal Talon zippers (with Talon engraved ball chain pulls) and patch pockets. Manufactured by Visalia Stock Saddle Co., San Francisco. "San Francisco" on the label indicates manufacture prior to 1950.
Condition is excellent with expected signs of age and light wear.
The Visalia Stock Saddle Co. has been called "arguably the most illustrious and historic saddlery in California". The company started up in Visalia, CA in 1870 and moved to San Francisco in 1887. In 1950 the company was moved to Sacramento. They are currently located in Morro Bay, CA.

These vases were bought at an auction by my husband's grandparents in the early 1920"s I believe. They stand about 10 inches high. Colours are varied with cobalt blue and what looks to be hand painted figures on both vases. The details and paint on the one vase are raised and flat on the other. There is a lot of gold paint used on both vases. The markings on the bottom of both vases are fairly simple as per the attached photos.
I was going to put them in an auction but have no idea about their origin or what they are worth. If you could provide any information on them it would be appreciated.
