Antique Questions Forum / Japanese Cats...
« on: July 28, 2009, 08:20:46 am »
I'm trying to find out any information or history on these cat figurines.
They are hand painted and have Japan painted on the bottom....no other markings or identification.
I know that they were already old when I was a child...they always stood on a hall stand in my grandparents house.
I have no history though of how old or where they came from

Antique Questions Forum / Silver cigarette case
« on: July 24, 2009, 01:20:55 am »
This cigarette case was found in an old trunk I purchased about 10 years ago.
It is marked inside with S.M. & Co...which I believe is Sampson Mordan & Co?
It is sterling silver with the year letter Q inside a shield.
The inscription on the front dates Oct 7th 1892 ( I think...the 8 is kind of hard to read ).
Any idea if the actual manufacture date would also be 1892 or if it was inscribed at a later date?
On the back is an etching of an elaborate shield with a knight and the name Gloria Calcar Haset.
( what would this name mean....store, original owner, etc ? )
Any ideas on it's value??
