$12 USD Offers ConsideredTurn of the Century Studio Photographs
Collectibles:Old Photographs
We have here three young gentlemen posing gravely for their photographs, probably quite uncomfortable in their celluloid collars. The hairstyles speak of early 1900's.

$12 USDThree Vintage Studio Photographs circa 1900
Collectibles:Old Photographs:19th Century Fashion Statements In Photos

Years of the snake have been 1929, 41, 53, 65, 77, 89, and 2001. This carving is done in natural boxwood, depicts a cobra and, I think was originally destined to be a netsuke but is not holed. It stands 2" tall and 1" deep. The eyes are inset onyx.
$48 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED Tibetan Silver Cylindrical Box With Carving
