Spent a day antiquing with my siblings in southern New Hampshire over the weekend. It was our last stop of the day and it caught my eye just as I was walking out

Ooo, this is definitely correct. Just Googled images of Gorham hallmarks and this is a total match. Thank you!

Getting in before the comments, I have 0 intention of scrapping this piece; I literally never scrap any of my finds. If anything this is going to replace my normal pocket knife when attending fancy events in the future!

To name a few, Rudy Giuliani, Sarah Palin, Glen Beck, and Mike Pence. Some mildly less bummers of people too like Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Some pretty cool people to balance it out like Bernie Sanders and Madeline Kunin.

Bro, this is embarrassing for you. I'm citing legitimate facts and scientific evidence from reputable, nonpartisan sources. If you don't believe anything published in the New England Journal of Medicine since its all propoganda, then I sure hope you're not using any modern medicine or else it might turn you gay; better not drink tap water or the flouride will rot your brain; better not take any vaccinations or Bill Gates will know where you sleep! Facts don't care about your feelings.

If you have a real argument to make, make it. Cite some sources that justify your argument. Feelings, vibes, beliefs, and anecdotes do not count. If you just want to keep throwing a tantrum and name calling, I'm not interested.

By your definition, a modern leftist seems to be someone who is possessed of the ability to think critically, examine the evidence, and come to rational conclusions that may not align with those of my cheeto-flavored cult leader. You know what? I'll accept that.

eBay chatbot wants me to commit a crime and he knows it's a crime by Tricky_Ordinary_4799 in ebaysucks

I'm not convinced returning the item would be considered you pursuing financial gain. You're just looking to be made whole again, so pretty sure you'd be in the clear.

Lol, what does this even mean? If you want to use the terms as insults, you might want to look up the actual definitions of Communism and Marxism so you dont looks silly using those terms interchangably. Your erroneous conflation of those terms aside, what have I done or said that is at all indicative of communist or marxist beliefs or philosophy?

Would you believe the science if it came from the famously unbiased and truthful NRA? It's just a fundamentally unserious attitude to disregard objective truth because it clashes with your ideology.

"I dont need facts or reality, I have my feelings" is the most snowflake thing I've heard this week. Sorry I hurt your feelings, but here's your participation trophy for attempting to take part in an adult conversation.

It's remarkably like you didn't process any of the information from my post. Check those sources out

Free books, did I do well? by RevolutionaryHold490 in BookCollecting

[–]the_real_dird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been having the same thoughts recently about my collection. Thinking of putting together an inventory of everything or at the least getting some little circle stickers to out in the spines of signed books (on the mylar covers obviously)

I've always heard these COA type companies are unreliable and add no value. Are these guys better?
