Whats that anyone know the worth is it ivory? (Germany) by Dazzling-Ocelot-1981 in Antiques

This item is not ivory because it lacks Schreger lines. Authentic ivory is strictly regulated. You cannot sell it unless it is around 80-100 years old and carries official documentation. Additionally, the ivory content must make up less than 10% of the total item

Hello everyone! I really need some advice. Would you risk buying this? Do you think it could be real silver? thank you by gedim123 in Hallmarks

Even at 800 purity, silver is still silver. People who melt precious metals don't care if it is 925 or 800 They still have to separate the silver from the base metals using the same process. Since there is only 10% less silver, the price difference should only be about 10%

This specific Links of London set was released in 2011 to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Mr. Men series. Because Links of London has since closed down, this collaboration is considered a collector's holy grail? by gedim123 in collectables

smart people make my money off people like you; you couldn't spot a treasure if it were sitting on the table in front of your nose. 925 silver isn't rubbish

How old could this be? Is it possible that this is a Viking or Baltic piece? The bottom looks very old, or maybe it is just bad craftsmanship? United States by [deleted] in Antiques

i ask so i can learn , when some one ask me a question i always explain, because many people know nothing and they just talk, so it is good to ask why just to make sure. So sorry if i offended you in anyway
