[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 9823141, member: 5006"]:woot:Incredible!!! As J Dagger said, how can someone discard these and sell for 1€:banghead: As AJ said it is a LIFETIME find, wow! I think they are indeed end of 17th century:cyclops: The threaded initials crowned are made as are the Stuart crystals from that period. You may test some pointy areas on a touch stone with acids on the trace. Maybe the ornamental parts are Vermeil rather than brass:) Anyway, waiting for the result of your antiques expert (don't sell to him if he asks!). I feel it could be a Christie's or Sotheby's worth asking for a valuation;)[/QUOTE]
