Default Thank you for showing interest! Here are some pictures.

Here are a few pictures. I can put more pictures up if anyone has a particular one they would like to see up close. One of my favorites is letered J. I thought the fittings were brass but when I pulled them out today saw they were made of silver. On the blades of a couple they seem to have a gold enlay. I know the person that had picked theses up in the Maylasia area in the 50's. He also brought a puppet and a few pieces of beautifully hand crafted furniture. (One being a portable bar and a trunk.) I will begoing back to work this next week and I also have several other very large collections of other items I need to get inventoried so I may not get to the board but once ar twice a week to check.


Thank you for all your help, any in put would be grately appreciated. MDee

Judging from the picture you have some very interesting stuff there .

Any possibility getting sharp close ups on each piece ; or maybe breaking them up into groups of three ?

We will need to see more detail than is shown .

I think you have some winners .

They are all restorable .

I cannot see too much wrong with any of these things, as Rick has said, all are able to be restored.

However, may I suggest that you post a photograph of each piece that you do not understand how to restore or repair, so that the advice you receive is specific to the item concerned.
