I have two plates of same size: the one  from the pictures and another one straight without support (leg) with the same flower motive and same lot numer (3798), which demonstrates they were made like a set of plates.I do not know the far hystory of the set. I know only that this set was owned by a noble family and it was put on sale by its inheritans after the Revolution from 1989 that took place in Romania.

This item is a telescope made by W&LE Gurley.  There is a metal plate attached that has the name of the company, place made, and year (W&LE Gurley, Troyr, N.Y., USA 1942, as well as the following:  TELESCOPE, M1910A1

NO. 3881  F.J.A.

The following "serial numbers" perhaps are engraved on differnt parts of the telescope:

B135430

D25982

B138055

A43385

A43508

A43384

A43398

B135445

I have looked at this table my whole life. The photos tell the rest of the story.

We have a set of 58 dishes, bowls, platters, gravy dish...

Very long rosary.  When I hold it up at head level it hits the floor, and Im about 5 ft tall.  Each bead is about the size of a quarter.  Its heavy, not sure what its made of but maybe some sort of stone.  The material has little tiny holes in some  places, like its porous.  Has "NRI" carved above the jesus and crucifix.  The beads have four pictures carved around them, 2 of mary and baby, 2 of jesus' face.
