I got this over the weekend from an antique store. I want to try to get it working. Anyone have any clue what type of battery this might need? The bulbs are 2.5 volt.

It's usually hard for me to find anything sprite branded (i love to collect it) and this was like 8 bucks which i thought was odd because it's super solid and looks really good quality. What is this ?

Japanese McDonald's Award?

Hopefully this is the right place to post this, but if not please point me in the correct direction!

I purchased this at a thrift store years ago, and was hoping someone had some info on it... The certificate/award is pretty self explanatory I guess, but I haven't been able to find anything remotely close to this online anywhere.

Not sure if a 2004 McDonald's Japan supplier award to "Bakery Chef" would even be worth anything to someone out there, but I thought it was cool nonetheless lol.

Thanks!

What are souvenirs you hold dear?

Upvotes

I’m curious, what are some souvenirs you’ve held onto from traveling in or out of your home country?

I’m not talking about generic things like gift shop T-shirts, I mean REALLY niche things that you look at and immediately think back to your time there. Things that you could only find in that area or that resemble a deeper aspect of the culture.

Inherited antique treasure

Upvotes

What would be the best way to get rid of a entire collection of collectibles or try to find that one antique Roadshow precious Relic and open my own antique shop? There is everything to possibly collect from antique brass candle holders to Wicker and heavy wood furniture to antique mirrors Roseville vases clocks toys lamps old paintings records fine China. Every item i have looked up on Google lens has similar if not identical matches priced anywhere from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. she hoarded for over 50 years and everything has been sitting around collecting dust and I

Know that alot of art works that nobody knew anything about 20 plus years ago become very sought after treasures and the amount of signed oil on canvas paintings I have something is going to be a home run.

I might be dumb but I can’t really find anything on this toy horse from the enchanted kingdom line. I don’t have any accessories btw so I’m not sure of any specifics. I’m not going to sell it but I’m curious it’s rare!

1927 United Spanish War Veterans Auxiliary charter from Louisville, KY. Can anyone tell me more about it?

Post image
Upvotes

It is an original July 5, 1927 charter for the National Auxiliary of the United Spanish War Veterans, granting a charter to Col. Morris B. Belknap Camp No. 7 in Louisville.

It lists 11 women as the charter members and is signed by Margaret M. Manion, President General, and attested by Margaret Herzog, Secretary General. It also has an original seal/ribbon. “Mustered April 27, 1928.”

I'm particularly interested in learning more about the 11 women, the Louisville auxiliary, and whether this is something considered valuable.

Identification of kogai authenticity / possible date

Post image
Upvotes

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine is currently traveling in Japan and found this beautiful item. He knows I love traditional Japanese crafts and offered to bring it back for me as a gift or for my personal collection.

I am definitely not an expert on these. I only know that they are called Kogai, and that some were used as traditional hairpins while others were used by samurai as sword accessories. I did come across the term Wari-Kogai during my brief research, so I think it might be one of those.

This specific one separates into two pieces right in the middle, and it has a gold/brass color with raised floral designs (looks like chrysanthemums or peonies). It also comes in a wooden box.

I've tried searching online but I can't find anything that looks exactly like this, so I wanted to ask the community for help before making a decision:

  • Does this look like a genuine antique or a modern replica made for tourists?
  • If you had to put a price on it, what is a fair value/price for an item like this?

I really want to make sure I know what I'm getting into. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.

I went on vacation and stumbled upon this collection of Chevron Cars, and I was looking through them and found Chandler Chip the ice cream truck, and I fell in love.

One of my dream jobs was and still is an ice cream man, and I was thinking about putting him on the dash of the truck or in my shop for display.

I also found this cool rubber alien. I believe he's from Mars supermarket(his name is Henley the Martian)
