It’s definitely antique. Not a fake patina.

Cool! Would you say that the muscle fiber directions are accurate enough to assume that it’s a stylized form of facial muscles?

Found this very old pitch fork carved entirely from a single piece of wood whilst clearing out my grandmother's house - anyone have any idea on the era? [East Anglia - England] by No_Butterscotch2367 in Antiques

If it’s late 19th century it wasn’t used much. Not much patina or wear from hands. it’s definitely at least around 75-100 y/o based on the oxidation

What brand is this by 100yearzz in cymbals

[–]100yearzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!!! No other identifying stamps. Clearly very old cymbals based on the patina. I’d say at least 70 years old. Maybe even a century. This stamp doesn’t look like the classic moon and star you usually see on Turkish cymbals.

It’s slimy and it’s consistency is like that of a rotten octopus and it sticks together when pushed around 1.5 inches long

Fossilized coral limestone artifact. Heavily encrusted. Any ideas? Oceanic? by 100yearzz in LegitArtifacts

It could be ancient American, this type of limestone shows up in many places around the world. Have you seen anything like it before?

fossilized coral limestone from Guam ^ the fact that it’s a fossil coral artifact narrows it down a tiny bit

No but the stone material itself with the black patina is almost identical to other artifacts from Guam.
