I don't know, is it? OK, when did it start being a wrap?

 

Dow introduced it under that name in 1949, altho the "stuff itself" (Polyvinylidene chloride) (PVDC) was discovered in 1933...

 

The things I learn here.

 

Isn't that the truth! All those burning questions, just waiting to be answered...

 

not really my type of thing, and very dated, but from a very good artist chris collingwood

his original military paintings can sell for tens of thousands, hes even had stamps commissioned with his paintings on

this must be an early piece of his work done for a book cover, wont be worth anything close, but still impressive,

thought it was a print, but the lupe doesnt lie, i bought 3 of them for £4 pounds each ( i had no idea about any of this by the way, i hadn't heard of him)

this is the better one, might have a bit more interest because of the german soldiers

 

sounds like a blinder !!

 

i havent taken the other 2 apart yet, hopefully one of them might be a well known book, which would be interesting

 

looks a bit mills and boon !!!!!

 

Charlie, that is absolutely awesome! I think you need to get a copy of the book- would be fun to read, and to display at auction if you are selling this.

 

what a great idea !!, like you said ill probably do so just out of interest

i hope i dont end up paying more for the book than the painting !!

 

I think it's because it's pretty much an unknown book, from a small print run so if there's few copies amazon prices will be irrational

I found this link to other book paintings he's done, the half price sale is a bad sign though !!

So another idea is to copy the listing with a picture of the book, maybe from Amazon, and frame it and display it with the painting.

 

Stopped at a yard sale this morning and picked these three pieces. The necklace actually has some weight so the gold diamonds are not hollow. It has two knots and the claps won’t open. Stamped Yugoslavia on one side and I think 14k on other but possibly a company also, not sure.

The little owl also has something stamped on the top but for the life of me I can’t figure it out and then there is this owl rings, just got it cause it was sterling. $10 for all three and going to scrap the necklace and owl, sell the ring.

 

I love the blinking owl ring!

 

Picked this Baccarat Harmonie decanter today, I was wrapping the stopper in bubble wrap in the parking lot and dropped it on the pavement, miraculously not even a flea bite!
