According to the inscription on the wooden base provided for each of these two marvelous red jade horses, this set of sculptures is "10/592" cast.  The pair of horses rests in a satin-padded case, blue silk on the outside with ivory clasps.  Each horse is about 5" long and 3" in height, weighing in at a little over a lb.  Each horse also comes with its own individual wooden base, with gold pattern detail on the side.  The bases are both inscribed with the casting information as well as the artist's signature, which is rather illegible.  The only clear letter in the signature is the first initial, a letter "G."  Currently seeking more information, if anyone is familiar with either the sculpture or its artists.  This pair of sculptures was received as a gift nearly 30 years ago and has been kept in excellent condition since.

This is a little pin on badge or medal of some sort, I'm guessing. As the description above says, I'm pretty sure this is sterling silver. On the front is a train and horse scene with I guess maybe a soldier in the foreground. The only imperfection is in the pin on colth area, with some threads coming loose. The dimensions of this object are 1 1/8" tall and 1 3/8" wide. This is a charming little pin and I'd love to know the history of it.

Here is a neat little key "coin" from GM. On the front it says Saint Christopher Protect Us and an emblem of Saint Christopher on it. The keys aren't regular keys, but they fold out from the round keychain if you will and then fold neatly back in again with just the tips sticking out for access. Is gold in color as background on front, and the rest of the keychain is a silver color.

I inherited this necklace 5 years ago when my Grandmother passed. Family lore is that my Grandfather got it when he was logging in Alaska during the 1930's. I'm not sure if he panned for the gold and had the necklace made, or if he purchased it himself. I have always been curious about this piece and would welcome any information on it. I would also like to know what I should be insuring the piece for.

Thanks for your help!!!

Bought in the 1960s from my neighbor who was moving.

this pin has a gold backing with old clasp. It measures 1 3/4 inches long and about 1 1/2 inches wide, oval in shape. Beveled glass edge. Looks like mother of pearl back with flower decoration and initials AD. At first I thought the flowers were made of hair, but I don't think they are. I was told by the person I got it from it was painted but it doesn't look that way to me. If you notice at about 5:00 you can see it looks like one of the leafs is raised up a bit. You can see a shadow under it. So really, I don't know what it is made of. I would like to know what it is made or and some relative value. The back is gold, looks like it was hand shaped with old pinning. It is a beautiful piece in excellent condition.

this is a nice ring, fairly weighty. I had a very hard time getting good pictures....Some of the prongs are slightly off and I'm just wondering if this is worth fixing. I would like to know the age of it.

Thanks!

the gold case is stamped ROY 14 k 813606

I am looking for more information and a value

I don't think this is a valuable item because the chain is only gold plate(?) but I really would like to find out what the "s" in heart mark means, maybe who made it, and what period/age it is. Pictures are attached...

Thanks in advance!

I have a necklace that has been passed down in my family. It was given to me by my Great-Great Grandmother. She had recieved it from her mother. So I am unsure how far back it actually goes. I took it to a jewler for apprasial (all this is very new to me), they of course could not appraise it and would not even verify if the stones where Jade.

I do not know how old it is or where it came from but my grandfather said it was "worth keeping" He doesn't usually keep anything. When my great-great- aunt died in the early 80s, my grandmother and her sister were left her estate. They drove up to San Francisco from Los Angeles to sort out her estate they only brought home a few prize possessions this rug being the biggest thing.
