The woods that I found these in have been ridiculously thick with autumn olive for at least 30 years I'm guessing, so it's not likely that many people have ventured through lately, and it's even more unlikely that someone decided to stop and have a drink there. These are probably fairly old, but...

Hi All, First time poster! I have recently started collecting (ok, hoarding) antique bottles. Last week my boyfriend went to an estate sale to a household that had THOUSANDS of bottles. Lucky for him (unlucky for me) I wasn't feeling well and I had to sit that sale out. Anyways..... he...

I am hoping to get some opinions from Treasurenet folks. I picked up this vanity hand mirror, marked sterling, at an estate sale. It was in a box full of metal junk. Anything in box was $1. I have always wanted to find an ornate sterling mirror, but not in this condition. It's pretty banged up...

Was out on a field/meadow today. Dug up a 1872 Newfoundland "largie" in one spot then dug a 1943 Newfoundland "smallie" in another. Today was a good day. :headbang::headbang::headbang:

Hello, I'm new to this forum and would appreciate any help you can give me. This clock belonged to a wonderful family and the parents have recently passed and the kids were hoping to learn about the clock that sat in their family room for decades. It is 9 feel tall, in pretty good shape aside...

I have a locket ring that I picked up at a garage sale about two years ago for 50 cents. It looks to be made of some kind of antique metal or pot metal. The ring is the size of a quarter.. It's not marked. There are several small circles on the lower side of both sides of ring, however I cannot...

I bought two Dietz Lanterns at $3 each. I was surprised to see them at a garage sale because I usually see them at flea markets. The sellers were just putting out their stuff and didn't advertise it in paper. I happened to be driving by so I stopped in to browse around. I guess I was lucky to...

I bought this table runner, I think it is, because it was so unusual. I have tried to find out what all the symbols mean but honestly I'm not sure how it all ties in together. Measurements are 22 1/2" by 13". I would be very grateful to anyone's help. Thank you!

All I can think of when I see this is that it's a flagpole topper but what's throwing me off is how it mounts. It also has the appearance of a hood ornament. Head to tail: 5.5 inches Width: 4 inches Weight: 1 lb - 3.4 oz Any ideas? THX - :blackbeard:

Would like tp find out if this is silver? How old is it? What is it exacty? And does it have any monetary value?

Hello, I need help identifying this vase I recently obtained. It only has one marking which is on the inside of the vase at the top(as seen in the picture), I also took a picture of the based although there isn't anything significant on it I believe. Please help identify it and maybe do a price...

Wondering if anyone can help me with this brass magnifier. It had no markings and the handle is made of an odd wood or shell. Came from an antique shop in Florida. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I'm really not sure at all what this is and I know there's a good chance if anyone can identify it, it will be someone here.. It is quite old and I'm guessing a couple hundred years by the patina. The gauge of the metal is heavy. It appears to probably be a part of something larger. The...

I recently purchased a few items from an estate sale and thought I would check to see if anyone recognized this Makers Mark. I never buy silver or plated silver but this item just kind of caught my eye. Anyhow, any information you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure what to expect from the site. It's really nice that a forum exists for collectors/ hunters. What's the rarest treasure that tops your list?
