<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wolfrott, post: 252198, member: 1711&quot;]Thanks everyone for the info! I&#039;ll take more photos of the hallmarks this week and try the trick of taking photos through a loupe to magnify it better. The blob does have a line through it so it is very confusing; hand, head, animal, glove, it&#039;s got no detail we&#039;d like to see that can distinguish it like a crown or face but with more photos maybe we can solve this!</p><p><br /></p><p>To answer everyone&#039;s questions in one post to avoid spam <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>- it is indeed celluloid. It&#039;s very light, has the parallel darker lines (no crosshatching/Shaeger), has pits/nicks, isn&#039;t polished or smooth like glass. I own an antique piano with ivory keys, page turners, figurines, Oni, &amp; jewellery (all inherited from grandparents who used to travel India, China, etc in the 50s) to compare it to.</p><p><br /></p><p>- The monogram &amp; the date on the reverse is yes, carved, and the ink has been added in deep, it&#039;s not a rush surface job.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Unfortunately a previous owner had left a sticker on the blade, and upon removal, it&#039;s left a bad sticky residue that hot water won&#039;t even affect. What do you guys recommend?</p><p><br /></p><p>- I bought this in Australia (Aussie here) so that trans-pacific flight date is very interesting! Coincidence?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
