<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheOLdGuy, post: 132493, member: 878&quot;]I picked this up yesterday on the way home. BIG signs saying &quot;HUGE TAG SALE&quot; One of those 16th century colonials that are worth several hundreds of thousands because you can&#039;t duplicate them.</p><p>I was late to the party, but understood why a lot of stuff was still around. WAY over priced. On the other hand I&#039;m sure all the steals were already stolen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Give me a hand, please, with my one and only purchase. Love at first sight. With a big sticker on it saying &quot;$2.00&quot; I&#039;ve learned that Silvestri seems to be very, very popular but doesn&#039;t seem to make anything themselves. Everything is Handcrafted FOR Silvestri.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, the big question. Note the metal band around the whole piece. A round whatchamacallit on front, a seam around the whole piece, and in the back, middle, a hinge. HOW THE #*+&amp; do I get it open? Without enough force to break it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve searched 90% of their BING finds, eBay for sale, sold and not sold, and about fifty pages of Silvestri&#039;s own site. Gifts, novelties and what they call &quot;glass fusion.&quot; in which category mine probably fits. Nothing similar. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any good woodworkers, mechanics, engineers available? All input welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS. 3.5 inches tall.</p><p>~[ATTACH=full]34142[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34143[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34144[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34145[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34148[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34142[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34143[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34144[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34145[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34148[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
