We cleaned out my grandparents house and found letters that she and my grandfather wrote each other while he was overseas in World War 2.
They had been packed away in a shoe box in a cedar chest and still in good shape. I want to persevere the letters, is there anything special that I need to do with them. Thanks for info.

I agree with talesofthesevenseas the patina of the chairs helps in value and in looks. You might go to a antique shop near where you live they might know some one in your area that can help with repairs. That's what I did when I had to get my rocking chair re-caned.

Not really interested in value (priceless to me). I just wanted to know the best way to take care of them.

I have some of my granny's old costume jewelry. I was wondering if I should clean it or not. It not really what I would call dirty but I was wondering if I should try and how would I go about cleaning it? Any suggestions? I'm a little out of my depth when it comes to jewelry. Thanks.

Antique Questions Forum / Identifying marks?

« on: August 31, 2013, 03:45:09 pm »

I've been to a lot of websites trying to Identify what company made my coffee and creamer set. The china is white with gold trim and it looks like gold leafed handles? The mark on the bottom is a K in a circle surrounded by the words Czecho-Slov. So far i haven't had any luck at any of the websites I've been on. Attached are pictures of the creamer and its marks.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
