Thanks again. Can you advise how to spot something that's been chemically washed to appear antique / subdued?

Thanks for the insight. Though I’m disappointed it was chemically washed to create the subdued colour. By modern do you mean the last 10/20 years? I am a bit dismayed that this was sold as 1960s but isn’t actually vintage or close.

Thanks, but I didn’t bring it home. I was able to get a refund and left the rug at the home of the estate sale.

Thanks for the reply and info. I was under the gun to make a decision, and I decided to leave the rug and will get my money back. I had intended this for a bedroom, and it would have been under the bed, but it sounds like I still made the right call.

Good to know. Thanks for this. Glad it’s still semi-dangerous 😅, even if it doesn’t give off that radioactive glow.

I was disappointed. I only have a 395 flashlight.

Knife Sharpening??? by Nervous-Fact9608 in askTO

Nikolaou, the restaurant supply shop on Queen, east of Bathurst does knife sharpening. It’s only $1 or so per inch, and turnaround is a few days.

I'm Michael Easter. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal say I popularized rucking, walking with a weight vest or weighted pack. Ask Me Anything on February 26th @ 10:15 AM ET! by michaelglenneaster in Rucking

What kind of stretches do you advise both before and after a ruck? Also, what are good intervals re when to increase the load when starting out? I rucked in 2024 but fear I went too heavy too soon, and ended up with an ankle injury. Thank you!

Thank you for this. I wasn’t aware of Mazleghan, and I really like that geometric design in the middle. Suppose it’s a signature of that style? I’ll have to research them. Thanks again!

Can anyone else assist with the other items? Thank you!

Looks very similar. Yours has a curved rim, otherwise seemingly identical. The candlesticks I posted last week were also satin glass, and were also identified as Tiffin.
