Fantastic jeweled picture! Im so in love!

 

Gorham sterling sugar bowl and creamer...... yum yum yum !!!!!!!

 

Hit the wrong button.

 

I have a bowl with a very similar decor scene and I know there was at least one more member with another piece. Mine has no maker's mark, but I don't recall the other one. You know that's an early Noritake mark, right?

 

Noritake, early mark. Morimura Brothers were the importers. My grandmother loved the brand, but then she was a glitter girl.

 

@johnnycb09 - the jeweled picture is intriguing! What is it made of? Just curious - are you sure it is right-side up? I think I'd like it turned 180 degrees better - would look like a heart and a paisley necklace.

 

Indeed, that is why I stated 1911ish next time I will play it safe and go with ca.1911



I also picked up one with a Noritake stamp, dated 1920-1940’s with a farm house on a lake.

 

I havent taken it apart yet,but it looks to be on some thick paper. I think its signed "Hari" ?

 

It's Indian artwork for sure; I've seen similar stuff that was brand new. It might be worth something and might not, but if you like it and it's headed for your wall, who cares.

 

While going through ancestry files, I found a note and 3 paper currency (German, France, Japan) Also included German paper. Was sent to my aunt, but her uncle during WWI.



Money is in pristine condition !!!

 

Neat Janette....but......the folded Peso is not pristine .....

 

I know..I meant other 2 ! Anyone read German? Was wondering about the "flyer"/newspaper...

 

Bottom half is how to treat prisoners of war .

 

Fun money instead of funny money.

I went hunting today and found a way to waste gasoline and time. Came home with less than I left with. Yesterday morning however, I found some gaudy bling. The pieces aren't old, but two of them are signed Heidi Daus and the bracelet is covered front and back in rhinestones. The ring is fortunately only coated on top, and also fortunately too small/large for me to wear. (too small for my ring finger and too big for my pinkies) The kitty pin is begging for a home; it's a classic JJ. Total outlay? $5. Normally I don't buy this new stuff, but Daus retails for silly money.

 

Nice Bling , Ruth !!!!

 

Thanks..interesting...On a side note..the uncle who sent all this to my aunt was declared dead and family mourned..THEN..his photo in a hospital appeared in newsapaper!

 

That's gruesome....& great....I guess ??

 

BIG clip on earrings. They really stood out so £1.49 didn’t seem a lot to pay.
