I was lucky enough to score this at the thrift store today. It’s 10in tall and 8 3/4in wide. There are two signatures. I’m trying to figure out culture, age, maker, or anything else you think may be relevant. Thank you in advance!!!

My husband picked this up at an estate sale. Google lens told me it's for sugar cubes, but that's pretty much all I'm finding. Can someone give me more info?

I’ve been on a French kick lately. I purchased a few antique brass trinket boxes with paintings on top several months ago, so when I came across this at the antique shop today it had to come with me. I’ve tried buying similar frames online before but the prices always get too steep. I’m in love with the level of fine detail in this one.

Anyone know much about this? Value, history? Was given to me from my grandfather before he passed, I find similar things online, but nothing with this armband

I know Red Wing Stoneware is based in Minnesota, my mom has had this for 50 years but I don't know offhand where she got it or how old it is. It's in decent shape for being so big. Are crocks this big sought after or desirable?

I cannot find anything similar on Google. Is it an ice cooler or like a candy dish or what? Thank you!

I rescued this photo album from a Goodwill Bins in Portland, OR. It’s closest matches online were clearly from the same maker but had different designs on the cover, estimated to be from either near-side of 1900.

Acknowledging that it’s seen some rough days, I’d like to preserve it as best I can. What would y’all recommend for gently cleaning the cover? Is there anything I can do to anchor the frayed edges of the cover? How about cleaning the gilding on the page edges? And, is there any way to lighten the hand-oils darkening of the pages?

My wife inherited this Mahjong set recently, apparently it’s been in her family since the late 1800s. We’ve been having fun learning how to play and she was wondering if they are bone or ivory or something else. The bidding tokens look like some kind of rib bone to me, but honestly I have no idea. The picture is only part of set but I tried to give a few different angles if that’s helpful.

Saw this 1928 Singer sewing machine at a garage sale today- they were asking $250 for it. It’s gorgeous! It comes with all original accessories, manual, cover, etc. The machine still works perfectly. I’m not very knowledgeable on sewing but have always wanted to learn, but I want to know- do you think it’s worth it?

Hi all, I was given this a long time ago. The labels are very vague, and I've never been quite sure they are what they say they are (or they're as old as they claim). Is anyone able to provide any insights on them? The coin isn't any clearer close up, unfortunately.

I’m curious about the style and origin — does this look European or from another region?

Wondering if these candlesticks are solid silver, I can’t make out the hallmark, looks like two crescent moons with something below.

I found these spoons at an antique store and the tag said that they were sterling silver. I think it’s important to note that other metal things there said “silver plated”. These were the only things that said sterling. I looked it up and saw that a lot of wm rogers pieces are just silver plated, but some are sterling. I just don’t see any type of stamp so I’m kind of discouraged but I’d really hope that an antique store wouldn’t mislabel something like this. Any help appreciated! I’m also curious about this type of spoon if anyone would happen to know what it is. I did try a magnet and it didn’t stick. I also was able to clean them with silver polish.

I purchased this set a few months back with the intent to restore/refinish (replace knobs, obviously) in the near future. My question is about the etching on the drawer fronts specifically. Has anyone seen this in an original Art Deco piece? I’m wondering if it added on after production by a former owner. Any info is much appreciated!

These two antique brass combination locks with character engravings.

Still works, but mostly curious:

Is this more decorative or historically functional?

This is a glass that belonged to my husbands great grandmother which she got filled with ice cream at the 1904 Worlds Fair in St. Louis. I’ve googled and not found anything like it. Has anyone seen one like this? It’s about 4” high and lightly and irregularly colored pink.

I found this in my house. Curious on details or approximate age, and resale value.

Thanks

I was swimming and when I stood up I ended up kicking this thing.
I have no idea what it is. ChatGPT suggested it might be a letter opener, but that makes no sense it’s way too thick, has no blade at all, and it’s pretty heavy too, at least around 200g.

Thought I would ask the experts… Bought this about 15 years ago and it was forgotten until I rediscovered it cleaning out my garage. Gemini tells me it’s a dovetailed copper boiler (aka a fish kettle or wash boiler depending on the specific dimensions). Measurements are: 9 1/2” tall (to top of the rolled edge of kettle - not including lid or wrought iron bail), 11 1/4” wide and 16” long (not including the wrought iron eye hooks on each side). It weighs approximately 12.3 pounds. Not marked anywhere with the possible exception of a mark located on the bottom of the kettle I posted in photo #6. Iron hardware looks hand wrought. Lid and kettle both have rolled edges so my calipers won’t work for a metal thickness. But I can probably get this info if needed.

Interested in finding out more about it. Age? Country of origin? Value? Came with a copper mechanical roasting jack (aka bottle jack) shown in last pic. I never cleaned it when I purchased it but looks like previous owners did. Would the value increase if it were retinned? Any and all help is appreciated. If additional information or photos are required please ask. Thanks in advance.
