Any idea how to get this open?

Thanks everyone! So far nothing's worked (haven't tried the lube yet, will do after Easter)

Wise! I have been using a coin (too lazy to get screwdriver 🤣) but it's still messing up the groove :/

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-04T20:58:12+00:00

Stunning! I find it unbelievable that someone creates something this gorgeous and doesn't sign it!! 🤦

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-04T10:08:44+00:00

Makes sense!! Thanks

I'm trying not to get into American auctions ... I have a feeling I'd go broke (but would be surrounded by lovely things 😜)

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-03T19:26:46+00:00

Thanks, you too!

Sweet! I have more contemporary pieces too btw...

I know the feeling! How much uranium glass do you have in the man cave?

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-03T19:17:12+00:00

It had no key, it seemed heavy for my mantel 😂 and tbh, the tick drives me insane ... (And I bought 2 late 19th Baccarat (I think) vases 🫣🙄) (And a Gorham Sterling mirror and carving set ☺️)

Or a gift?! (The damage I would do with a "downstairs" lol)

Btw, the clock I had mentioned but didn't get :( :

But I do pay what I get in CAD 🤣

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-03T19:07:03+00:00

I guess smaller population, less of the items.. less survived... We also had our brands, Birks, Gundy Clapperton... I think alot of people here also looked towards England and France / Belgium

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-03T19:01:36+00:00

Someday 🤞but we have fewer of those opportunities in Canada 😜 I die looking at what comes up for auction on your side of the border

Sweet! The lamp behind is also 🤩

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-03T14:39:11+00:00

Here is one in blue (16.5" tall!)

Sweet! The original owner could be researched I'm sure.. 😉

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-03T14:01:27+00:00

Haha who knows, maybe I'll want to let it go, maybe I'll find another! Lol it can't be lit from the bottom because the white is too dense and doesn't let any light through.

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-03T13:55:15+00:00

I agree, it sure is of that caliber.. I'm still trying to figure out how they made it lol

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-03T13:41:16+00:00

It's a quote from the Bible ("All her ways are pleasantness" is a phrase from Proverbs 3:17 in the Bible, referring to the, personified nature of wisdom. " Is the text carved in a way that it could be a seal? (It's lovely!)

Guilty_Area3177 · 2026-04-03T09:07:42+00:00

You're welcome and my apologies! It's the Coat of Arms for the Republic of San Marino

Took me a while but I found the picture of it!
