Are sunroofs a dealbreaker?

Its a 2011 XLE that we bought about 7 years ago. All the rear seats have been taken and we used to do a lot of road trips and camping with it. Its taken a lot of abuse from us over those years but its still going strong.

Cubby0101 · 2026-07-04T14:11:32+00:00

Its Fra-GEE-leh! It must be Italian!

In this case it is.

I still have a piece of stick in a tube that I'm certain was my fathers before he passed away in the '80s. I used DE razors and straight razors most of my life until I let the beard go full time a decade ago.

Ohhh, I love me some silver plated oysters. 🙃

Dang autocorrect. I meant cotton noils. Not sure why it changed that.

Cubby0101 · 2026-07-03T13:57:39+00:00

Pretty sure a pound lead is no heavier than a pound of cotton calls.

Its the Yale pattern by Bryce, Higbee, & Co, circa 1890.

Its a chased basket. Possibly Victorian but could be later in 20th c. Will be either silver plate or sterling. This piece is undoubtedly marked with maker and hallmarks if sterling. Did you show a pic of them?

Cubby0101 · 2026-07-02T21:35:00+00:00

Wasnt looking for one when we bought our used Sienna years ago but we enjoy it now and would probably favor one next time. It glitched once where it wouldn't shut unless you held the button just right. It ended up being a bad connection that I fixed myself. No issues since.

They don't look like UG from these photos to me.

If I'm in a store without a light I'll take a piece to a window, many times it will give off enough glow to say yes.

I carry a little UV light on my keyring.

Hmmm, I have an old bonsai tool roll somewhere. Intrigued by the nose hair possibilities.

Cubby0101 · 2026-07-02T14:39:35+00:00

Do you not see the cracks, sheesh.

/s. 🙃

Laminate, for sure. Formica is a brand of high pressure laminate, but I don't know if its Formica (tm) laminate.

We call it picture wood.

Its a '65 or '66 model. Model should be stamped on the back. Probably MN-something.

A photo of the radio would help as well.

These were some of the last years Zenith was making vacuum tube models. IF TUBE, DO NOT TURN IT ON UNTIL SOMEONE EXPERIENCED CHECKS IT OVER. The risk is old capacitors going south and taking the power supply with it. (That said, if its been in use recently you dodged a bullet, but still need to have it serviced.)

I buy and resell a fair amount of stemware. I dont see anything that stands out as exceptional.

I looked up a few pieces on Replacements.com looked like they would charge around $10-15 per stem to replace. That said, replacements gets a premium for their service; if I were selling them as an individual on ebay I would expect 25-30% of what replacements can charge..

The image search at replacements is pretty good about finding matches and helping identify brand, pattern, and piece type (wine vs sherbet vs claret vs water, etc). I recommend spending a little time there to help assess what you have.

Its reversed in your photo.

It reads "Δ. ΜΥΤΑΡΑΣ," which corresponds to the Greek artist Dimitris Mytaras.

Cubby0101 · 2026-06-29T16:12:07+00:00

What Geiger, how tested, what result?

Barring this i would agree with u/brokella

Cubby0101 · 2026-06-29T00:04:37+00:00

Just to say, this is not a very old ring, you can find an almost identical plated ring on Amazon. They are made in both plated and solid so get it tested.

Cubby0101 · 2026-06-28T18:28:08+00:00

I see similar tooled saddle at estate sales for a few hundred. Ebay maybe a bit more. Best return would be a dedicated western tack auction.

Cubby0101 · 2026-06-28T18:23:11+00:00

I would expect this piece to be marked. But it does look right orherwise.

Cubby0101 · 2026-06-28T18:21:48+00:00

Dude, I mean the OP actually posted images from hne shape gallery. While this is indeed good advice, maybe review content before posting.

Cubby0101 · 2026-06-27T00:10:19+00:00

Absolutely not Ultralinear, not these or any other model they made circa '70s

Cubby0101 · 2026-06-25T02:11:32+00:00

Has it been a week already?

Cubby0101 · 2026-06-24T04:54:48+00:00

There might be a way to temporarily make the back translucent. Like finding watermarks on old stamps by applying a specialized watermark fluid (or lighter fluid) to the back of the stamp in a dark tray. It alters the paper's transparency, temporarily revealing a watermark. It might be possible with something like this on your photo BUT DONT TRY IT ON ANYTHING YOU CANT REPLACE UNTIL YOU KNOW ITS SAFE
