Antique Questions Forum / silver case...what is it?
« on: November 21, 2010, 10:59:09 pm » I got this silver case and I have no idea what it was used for... 
As you can see, it's significantly smaller than a business card, but on the inside it has the tabs to hold something...Hubby is saying that something went across the tabs, like a bar, and held ladies cigarettes...but as an ex-smoker myself, there's no way I would be satisfied with small, dainty, fairy-sized cigarettes, and I have never seen cigarettes that size.
I think it's too thick to hold a single photograph, and wouldn't help by just holding one side of the photo...
On one of the tabs, it says 'sterling' followed by a mark that looks like a crown, or an arrow across...something. ..but it's confusing because I didn't think sterling silver was plated, I always thought something sterling was solid.
The outside is obviously silver, but the inside looks like brass or gold...my first guess was copper but it has more of a yellow hue than pink.

EBay Forum / ebay archives?
« on: November 17, 2010, 11:55:47 am »
I have this exact same bakelite flatware box. Is there a way to search for the post in an archive on ebay to see what it sold for? I tried to do what was said in an earlier post, but I can't find the archive selection within ebay.

Unfortunately there's alot of amazing artists out there that have not been recognized therefore their art is not worth that much...

We'd go fishing all the time with my FIL who would never hesitate to tell me how he wanted it cooked. I insisted he cleaned it first though! I miss him...

Holy heck, you wouldn't BELIEVE all the fishing stuff at my FIL's house. Fly fishing too, but hubby doesn't know anything about your reel though. Before he died, my FIL started to make fly's and we took all the stuff home to do it...really cool stuff.
