From Danbury Mint - bought in 1989. It was never displayed or taken out of box. Santa is standing by his wood workbench, which has several toys on it. I also have Mrs. Claus holding a try with teaset on it. Also bought in 1989 - never displayed or taken out of box. Both dolls are in mint condition.

This is a strange little metal ball that opens up in the middle. It has small cut outs all over it, some of them seem to be in the shape of hearts. It has a latch to keep it closed in the middle and is empty on the inside. It's 3" in diameter. Please help me identify this object. All posts are appreciated.

This is a reverse painted table lamp.  It has been in the family for years. The switch was replaced at some point.  I am unable to find a signature on the shade.  I have often wondered if it is a Handle as I notice in my books that some were unsigned.

What Ive already said about it is all we really know about it .

A Finely Incised Silver Ornamental Knife/Chopsticks : Jangdo Dagger from Korea, Choson period, 19th century,

This is an ornamental utensil knife set with chopsticks used used for emergencies in Choson Dynasty’s  society. The case and knife have beautiful carving. The handle and sheath are highly decorated. Measures 4 5/8” long after assembled. It’s in very good condition.

Choson dynasty Korean men and women wore silver knives hidden inside

their clothes near their chest in order to preserve their honor by suicide should

it become necessary. The chopsticks were for checking food for poison. The set was sometimes a gift of the bride’s in laws, indicating the strictness of a society that placed an extremely high value on fidelity and purity.
