Featured Antiquers: Share Your Favorite Purchase Of 2018

Neither can I. With a lot of hard work I've narrowed it down to three.
Still contemplating.....

 

I dropped his nose. I don't know where it went. *sigh*

 

oh, poor piggy! Can you make one...or just don't put any flies in him. Who wants that anyway....except the Old Lady who swallowed one...

 

At least he won’t smell.

 

Can we count 'discoveries of our own stuff' as well? I spent the year cleaning, clearing, and sorting through boxes of things I never opened after moving 20 yrs ago to somewhere I had room to store things (and not buying more!). So they are kind of "new" to me, seeing again, also finding out some things now have more value than what I paid for them, eons ago.

And I'd like to sell 2 items. So can I post here (just one photo each) and then post in the categories and add more? Except you don't have a category for one of them - a 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers National Championship bat (w. Jackie Robinson on it). Please advise where to add that? Thanks!

The other will go to Military and this I bought 20 yrs ago from a old neighbor (old enough to have brought it back with him), who was moving away, for maybe $15-20. It's in near-perfect condition and I know worth far more now but having read horror stories about eebah-humbug I won't try and sell through that. Here are the photos:

 

Okay, that might be confusing (above post) because I'm still learning the forum. I'd like input on these two things and possible suggestions for how to go about selling - and then I'll put on the Selling forum. And is the Selling forum just for members? I'm still exploring all that's available here so bear with me - and for sure let me know when I'm doing it wrong. Thanks!

 

For getting info and advice, put the baseball bat in Antique Discussion and the mess kit in Militaria. Yes the Sell Forum is just for members (see the Rules thread at the top of the Sell Forum list for protocol.) But wait to set them up there until after you get the input of others about best place to sell and other suggestions.

 

Okay, thank you, Bakersgma re where to enter the bat. I'll read more for sure. Lots to read that I haven't. But that's okay!

Thank you, Davey - that's unfortunate. But I suppose with so many members, it's inevitable some are on here just to scam others. The way of the world.

 

bought from two different sellers in a span of 5 weeks

 

It’s beautiful. Is it a plaque ?

 

Gorgeous.

 

Wow!

 

Looks like two pieces of the same thing.

 

ceramic by Bernard Bloch, 52*33 centimeters each.

 

I'm stuck on three items. The bowls I got for $10 from a thrift store and the other two won at auction for $20 ea. Nobody noticed the bisque wall plaque had a tiny little "ENS" (Karl Ens 1900-1919) mark on the rear.

 

Love them all, but the plaque teases the cameo addict in me.

 

that Karl Ens is lovely. have a similar one but never bothered to open the back and search for stamps. but some day when I'm grown up and grey...
