    I always appreciate the way you make whomever you are with feel seen and heard. You always take time to look at what they are looking at and are always so positive. Thank you George for being a good friend, not only to those that know you but to the viewers whom you have never met. People can make a connection through your videos and I think that's why we continue to watch.

    The lusterware tray with the top handle is called a Nappy tray/plate. It was used during tea time to offer your guests lemons, remember the host poured and served the tea and condiments to each person.

    Good evening, George. The toothpick holder looked like a Mosser piece of Northwood's _Cherry and Cable_ pattern. I'd like to have that mortar and pestle. Nice chess set. I used to collect them, but sold most all of the sets I had when I moved here. I have a couple of the cornbread stick pans. One has fish as the shapes of the sticks. I would've had to get the Wonder Pen. The old binoculars interested me. Bother condition - that Victorian photo album, with the fan front, would've had to come home with me. What's up with eBay not allowing cigarette lighters? I'm not a fan of lustreware. To me, it looks like someone stuck cellophane candy wrappers all over a piece of whit porcelain 😂 Beautiful geodes. I liked the left-facing cameo. Those aren't as common. Great items in both places. Thanks for taking us along!

    • @TheAntiqueNomad
      @TheAntiqueNomad  Месяц назад +2

      Hi there! I do believe it was Mosser as well. The chess set is now in my inventory, I had to get that one! We had a Mexican agate version when I was growing up, but I was not a good player. Fish stick cornbread pan, I'd love that! I only buy them if they're signed or if it's unusual like that one. The Wonder Pen was something I should've grabbed too, I think, and I really enjoyed the Victorian fan front album! I only like the plain lusterware for the most part, and really prefer the blue to the gold. I got on the wrong side of eBay because a friend asked me to sell the brand new e-cigarette her friend bought her for Christmas (at $200, non-refundable) right after she'd quit smoking. It sold on eBay, then they informed me I had violated their poilicies because I sold something like that without an ATF license (who knew?) and that I could no longer sell anything tobacco related. The dumbest result of that was when I listed a camel-shaped inkwell and they blocked it, so I had to change the listing to say "dromedary" instead of camel! Crazy.

      @@TheAntiqueNomad Mosser has the Northwood molds, for the _Cherry and Cable_ pattern, and that piece really looked like one of theirs. I used to have some really nice chess sets, but there's no space for them here, so I sold most of them. The cornbread stick pan looks like the fish might be salmon. I like it because it's different. If the Wonder Pen worked, I would've put it to use. I like pearlised Czech porcelain, but lustreware, because of the colours they used, has never been a favourite of mine. It might have taken some time and patience, glue and sewing, but I'd have been willing to spend some time on that photo album. eBay needs to get their heads out of the canyon, on the lower end of their torsos. When they get to the point they block an ink well because of a camel on it, they've seriously lost the plot. There _are_ meds for such things 🤪😂
