Featured CAMEOS: Show & Tell or Ask & Answer

Was trying to remember whether winner is someone who jumps into cameo auctions regularly. Think not. Even though they now disguise bidders' true member name, the one they assign seems to stay the same not just within a particular auction but also across time & other auctions. There are certain ones who reliably take an interest in the same stuff I do. Feedback number can give it away if you suspect who it is & can compare.

 

This thread has passed 50,000 views. Thanks to all who keep it going with me.

 

I remember, loong time ago, you had access to the listings Ebay members were bidding on or followed! As I had competitors on same interests... I "surveyed" them
That way I saw some listings I may have missed
Since the privacy policy... impossible

 

Wow! Kudos to you for all your shared knowledge here

 

@Marie Forjan and @Figtree3, I am so touched by your kind offers. Many thanks to both of you for your thoughtfulness.
I was out all day and only checked this thread now.
Oh well, it was not to be, but one of these days I'll get my paws on a lovely coral cameo.

 

I wanted to share the cameo my husband just surprised me with this afternoon for my birthday. It’s definitely vintage instead of antique but beautiful, based on a painting.

 

Happy Birthday!!

 

Happy birthday, @BMRT -- what a lovely gift!

 

Wow that is really beautiful BMRT. What an star he is to find you something so lovely. Mine excelled himself one Christmas by giving me some wooden spoons (because we needed them.....!).

 

@BMRT what a wonderful present.
Happy birthday!

 

Hi BMRT,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness, what a lovely piece! And happy birthday!!

 

He’s very thoughtful. I’m surprised considering how hard his eyes glaze over when I talk about vintage/antique jewelry. Apparently he listened enough to remember “cameos” lol.

 

The hubs done good.

 

It should be signed on the back by G(iovanni) Noto:





Where do I get a man like that? The last thing my boyfriend bought me was a plastic wall clock in the form of a coffee pot for which I have no use.

Happy Birthday!

Abolutely incredible hubby... HE is THE gift! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BMRT

The cameo is so well rendered a BEAUTY!!!

 

Happy Birthday BMRT.........
It's a lovely gift... & I must commend you for accepting it in the spirit of which it was given !!

 

At least my wooden spoons were useful!

 

I like wooden spoons & wooden cooking implements generally. See some lovely ones at crafts shows. But no, plastic clock. Brown plastic clock. Still in its box. Somewhere here.
