[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 120208, member: 1136"]Im going to the auction tonight and they have a good few cameos. I was there when the lady brought it all in and got a quick glance at them and they dont look plastic or resin. There are about 4 that I like and I want to be sure I dont pay too much for them. They are all black and white. Once is a rose on a black background that is carved out and is a more gray white Another is a woman in the same fashion of the black and gray facing right. Another one is a woman that is on a black background but she is pure white and facing right. The last one is a woman on a white background and is done in solid black and she is facing left. I cant be tapping them to my teeth or sticking hot needles in them in front of everyone. I wasnt sure if black was a "normal" color for authentic cameos or not. Ive read that the structure of the nose is a good indicator to. Big roman type nose is pre 1860, straighter nose is more victorian, and a button type nose is more todays style. Does anyone have any tips?[/QUOTE]
