Margo Giroux replied to Margo Giroux's discussion Patent Experts??? in the group Whadja Find Today"Thanks Tom! But the problem I have is that this patent is allowed for the design of a textile, not for a bracelet charm!"

Design patent to J.S. assigned to Robt Boyd, 1923.
I like these "easy ones"!"
Margo Giroux replied to Margo Giroux's discussion Calipers?? in the group Whadja Find Today"Will do! Thanks so much."
Fred Silva replied to Margo Giroux's discussion Calipers?? in the group Whadja Find Today"Margo , let me know how you do with them. Check with machine shops and tooling guys . Some of the three phase converters use fuses . "

Patent Experts???
So I have a charm bracelet that could date to as late as the 40s (Pat. 1926 + 17 = 1943) that has the flags over Texas,(missing the US flag,) charms on it. The Spain flag (Castile & Leon) has a design patent number on the back. The patent dates to 1926 and is a specification for textile design. So, why would a metal charm for…See More
Margo Giroux replied to Margo Giroux's discussion Calipers?? in the group Whadja Find Today"Thanks Fred. I will probably list them. I don't expect to be handling big fuses any time soon!!!"
Fred Silva replied to Margo Giroux's discussion Calipers?? in the group Whadja Find Today"Margo , I have two pair for the whse. When I need to remove the big industrial fuses . Never use them but for what they were designed to do. I have one that is scissors shaped and one like yours . Find an electrical guy bet he would love to have…"
Margo Giroux replied to Margo Giroux's discussion Calipers?? in the group Whadja Find Today"Ha! who would have guessed that! Maybe I should save them for our next ice storm in case a live wire should cross my path! On second thought, no, I don't think so. Thanks!"
Fred Silva replied to Margo Giroux's discussion Calipers?? in the group Whadja Find Today"These are for High Voltage Electrical work "
Margo Giroux added a discussion to the group Whadja Find TodayCalipers??
What are these? I called them calipers but suspect they can't be since there are no measuring marks on them. The surface looks and feels like plastic but from the cross section, the layers have a fibrous look inside. The layers are riveted together at the ends. TIA…See More
Margo Giroux replied to Margo Giroux's discussion Asian painted glass repurposed as buttons in the group Whadja Find Today"Hi Tom
Thanks! You got me back on the trail today and I think I have them figured out. I am pretty certain that they are not ceramic and know that they are complete pieces, the images are fully realized. I saw a couple on eBay that look…"
tomsantiquesetcetera replied to Margo Giroux's discussion Asian painted glass repurposed as buttons in the group Whadja Find Today"Are you certain these are glass? They look like ceramic tile to me. The patterns are reminiscent of "blue willow" which is English porcelain.
With a ceramic tile cutter or a glass cutter, small tiles can be made and polished…"
Margo Giroux added a discussion to the group Whadja Find TodayAsian painted glass repurposed as buttons
These two tiny paintings on glass appear to have been re-purposed as buttons somewhere along the way. The one with the swallow has a Scovill Co. metal shank added and the smaller black trimmed one has a nondescript metal shank added too. My button experts think they were not buttons originally. They are so well painted and decorated that I feel they must have had a real purpose: tiles? game chips? The top one is about 3/4" long and the other is maybe an inch. Anyone?…See More
Margo Giroux replied to Roy Meier's discussion Metal Gadget in the group Whadja Find Today"Wow! That is a challenge. The loop on top is what, either a hanger or a handle? So, if a handle, maybe some kind of roller? The thoughts that came up were also a kind of iron to make those ruffled Elizabethan collars. I kept going back and forth to…"
tomsantiquesetcetera replied to Margo Giroux's discussion Melmac Glasses marked N? in the group Whadja Find Today"I have several small tumblers like yours but mine all show Tupperware Made in USA "F" on them.
Melmac is a very thick plastic, and heavy. When I was a kid we had it. We used to toss them like Frisbies--never broke. Our Melmac was a light…"
Margo Giroux added a discussion to the group Whadja Find TodayMelmac Glasses marked N?
Are these Melmac? They are marked on the bottom N. Can't seem to find anything like that. They have the weight and feel of Melmac. Thanks!See More

However, if you've had it that long, I'd guess it was "Celadon" glaze, and it might be from Asia. That glaze is very desirable there, and nearly…"

Can't find any McCoy look alikes. Thought maybe it was by Homer Laughlin as the color is similar to Fiesta and the other HLC lines, but couldn't find it there. …"

More participation
Hi everyone, I thought I would start to become a little more involved in this venue. Don't know exactly how to be more visible since I don't have a website. I do all my selling on eBay. (see me there as Wordlythings: please note the spelling it's word ly, not worldly.) Currently I sell a large range of objects, Mostly vintage and antique, some of my own and some for clients. I would like to post links to my eBay items but am not sure that's acceptable under the rules. Perhaps someone could clue… Continue
