Antique Questions Forum / Re: Coins in General Roman specific

Thanks guys... I sorta knew that from the limited research I'd already done but wasn't sure if I was researching correctly. Guess I'll just keep the best 2-3 from each year for future reference and sell the rest. Going to ck Ebay as I don't usually as I thought those sellers were always overpriced. Thanks again...

Antique Questions Forum / Coins in General Roman specific
« on: January 05, 2014, 06:35:56 pm »
Do we have any coin collectors onsite? I am just sorting my coins I have been collecting since a child with no knowledge. I have a few foreign coins.. most notably my Roman coin I bought online years ago without any real knowledge. On the main side I am wondering if any Canadian quarters circa 1970-current are worth collecting. I have mine sorted but unless they are the silver content ones prior to 1969 it seems they are worth nothing other than face value. Most of my special ones (ie Kings heads etc) are pennies but I haven't sorted them yet. Just looking for an answer on my quarters post 1969 and maybe an opinion on the worth of my Roman one pictured here. Thanks for any help at all at this point so I can put them away or sell them and start on my pennies. Noarth

Hi all,
Has anyone got any ideas on this one? I have looked on and off for a couple yrs now and never seen this item for sale or even mentioned. Mom would have bought it when she was in Europe in 1957-1961.

all were bought individually... 1st one was bought from a 100 yr old lady and it was her wedding trunk(possibly from England) and it's cedar lined. 2nd one was in a garage sale here in southern BC Canada. last one we were told was military and made of walnut.

Hi all! My sister has acquired some trunks and we were hoping you could help us in trying to identify age/value/origins if possible. Thanks!

I was hoping the markings on the bottom would be a clue but maybe markings on glass bottles aren't as important as they are on other things. Is there somewhere to look them up?

Added the requested photos.. not sure why the bottle has a brown tinge to it but it's clear glass. It's also 6 3/4" tall if that's helps.

Hi guys,
Anything about this bottle anyone knows or can point me in the right direction? Is there much point in collecting bottles? I have a few in a box in the garage somewhere but came across this one and decided to ask questions in case I find the other ones...lol
Thanks!

Antique Questions Forum / Found while renovating
« on: July 23, 2012, 05:21:02 pm »
My sister in law is renovating an old 1906 era home and is finding cool stuff behind the walls. The first picture was developed from a movie film negative she found in the wall in the same room as what is in the picture. Home movies? Ideas on dates ? We can't figure out what he is trying to do in the film but I think maybe a magic trick?
The second picture is of a teddy bear they've found. It's really fragile so she isn't handling it much. It has wire in the arms and legs. Ideas on if it's worth saving?
They've also found some baseball cards but they are in pretty rough shape as you can see.
Just thought I'd post here and see if anyone had any ideas or thoughts about what she is finding.
Thanks!

Wow.. that is mine exactly except for the size.. mine is 12 inches tall.

Thanks getting me started....now to start on that marking
