Look at that mark. They produced porcelain all over the OHIO VALLEY. A multitude of companies. You can google this stuff. It was made in West Virginia. The W V does stand for West Virginia.
And......the MARK can be found on p.329, Lois Lerner's Lerner's Encyclopedia of U.S. MARKS on Pottery, Porcelain, and Clay, Collector Books, 1988.
Man, some of these internet forums.
I remember one time I went through several sites, and a few hundred posts, most from people who couldn't get what I had cheap, before one person told me exactly who made what I had. It was not antique related.
Anyway I found a knowledgeable seller, and they told me what the mark was, and that they collected Ohio Valley Pottery, and China.
Now value is another story. I am not giving the piece away.
I need help finding out what I have in this coin or medal that I recovered from an old property we purchased. Found some very cool old stuff after doing demolition. I did some research and it seems like its from the 1800s.
I don't know how to post picture's to show you guy's. It's a really cool piece. Its bronze, its very solid and heavy. Can someone help me ppst the picture's? Id really like to know what I have and what it's worth.
I have two large craftsmanesque wooden frame chairs made by the Carrom Company of Ludington Michigan. That company is known for the Carrom table top game boards (sometimes Crokinole) but they ventured out into furniture for a while. The company had no information on the chairs but they both have a label on the bottom. I know only that they were once in a private hospital waiting room way back in the 1940s or before. They sat on a front porch for several years and are very sturdy. Has anyone encountered Carrom furniture?
Thanks for those. Some of those chairs show similar detail but mine are taller and have vertical dowel-like struts beneath the wooden arms. They are ladder-back with removable back cushions and internal spring seats. My chairs seem to be mimicking early Stickley chairs but seem to be a later era. We always called them throne chairs because they were tall and imposing.
If you have an item you purchase for yourself or for re selling lets help each other ID the item, pricing, manufacture etc.
Probably not an antique but can anyone tell me what this tool is? I only assume it is a "tool" due to its appearance but possibly it is for wood work?
The thing is made of heavy cast metal, is about 8-1/4" in length and has steel rollers at the end. There is, what appears to be, an owner-inscribed telephone number on it from area code 308.

Looks like a grinding wheel dresser.
We had one in shop class that looked like that.
