Have metal bowl with handles. On bottom of bowl is a round gold label with the words “Product of Japan”. Wondering if I can date the bowl fromthe label.

Our tattoo supply company recently came across an antique single coil tattoo machine. We showed it to Lyle Tuttle, a very well known artist and expert in older machines. He said he didn’t know anything about it. If anyone has and information on this piece (maker, circa, anything) we would greatly appreciate it.

Circa 1833-1898 (but not certain)this bust stands 26 1/2 ” tall of spelter. The winged woman bust has a ribbon at her chest which reads “TIME IS MONEY”. The bust is signed by WAAGEN.

I have seen these posted on the web with a clock but nowhere have I found this particular item without the clock. Does anybody have any further information about this item?

Here is the metal mermaid i spoke of. About 4″x3.5″. Painted brass on a pedestal/stand, with the initials MM followed by the name “Jonny” or “Jenny”. Very detailed, heavy. Just wondering its history and possible value. Thank you.

I picked up this saddle stirrup at an estate sale. I believe it’s made of either brass or bronze. It measures about 6″ across the bottom, is about 6 1/2″ tall, and weighs about 3 1/2 pounds. It has what I believe are dragons across the top. Anyone know anything about it? Anyone know how to tell brass from bronze?
Thanks!
