We have a collection of original drawings for illustrations that appeared in the Illustrated London New and affiliated papers in the late 19th century. they belonged to my grandmother who worked there as a secretary in the early 1900s and acquired them during periodic office cleanouts. this one: imgur.com/a/BhnLH7L is an illustration of the Battersea Cats Home that appeared in the Illustrated Sporting And Dramatic News in 1886 - it was drawn by Louis Wain who became famous for his cat drawings. . |

I haven't tried it yet Maggie.
Penny, I can hardly see that. I can see it is cats but not much detail.

I'll see if I can get a bigger photo. I pinched that off the net (it's a print advertised for sale) - to save me the bother of taking a photo.

I like some of the ceramics but i cant remember seeing any for sale www.pinterest.com.au/pin/202662051954102369/?lp=trueI much prefer the work you have .. a lot of both has been reproduced so it's great to see the real thing ! |

no, i put the link here but it showed my whole page including my ID and personal details, so i have deleted it (from here)
if old images are deleted from this forum, does that make room for new ones?

LOL I don't know?
I used photoscape to downsize my photos before I save them for posting. It's a free programme I've been using for years.

That was the good thing about using attachments here because Pepe set it as showing in a thumbnail image.

We have 3 Louis Wains, one is a pastiche of an agricultural show and one of a dog show. We also have one of an equestrian sport called tilting at the ring, by J. M. Sturgess, who was apparently well known for his horse pictures, there are also two others, one of the Oxford/ Cambridge boat race and one of scenes on the river at Richmond, by a lesser known artist J.H. (or H.J) Wilson. Our other prize possession is a Commemorative edition of the ILN published during the Boer War and signed by all the artists whose illustrations appear in it. I need to have it restored though as the binding has fallen apart. |

We are still sorting through my PiLs stuff and I’m now asking you guys for some advice on a few things no one in the family wants but we don’t want to just “throw away” either. I wonder if anyone can give us some idea if they have any value.
We have about 6-8 Cash’s Fine Art Textiles Collector Series framed embroidery pictures of English birds, all in original boxes. Approx 7 x 5 inches.
4 Hamilton Collection Japanese Floral Calendar Chopin Plates, numbered. 5 7/8” diameter 23K gold rim. Again in original boxes.
A set of 6 old EPSN and bone(?) fish knives and forks in a custom made felt lined wooden box.
Any help much appreciated. We really don’t know what to do with them.

Kay, the knife handles are probably xylonite, Madara told me about that before
all those items sound collectable, but others here will know better than me, check out ebay

no, a swaggie is a bloke who walks around out in the bush from place to place for work & tucker and carries his bed in a roll on his back. ( known as the swag). I don't know if they're doing this in Australia, but here in the US, a popular term now is "swag"....Essentially meaning the same thing....Your stuff that you carry with you or clothing....swag....Used in a sentence, it might be...."That's some nice swag, dude".....but it could also be used as another word for "cool"....Like, when a car is all pimped out, pulls up to the club and the guy gets out wearing an expensive 3 piece Italian suit and a gold Mr. T necklace, we could say....That guy has some cool swag.....(accessories)....
Or at least that's my understanding of the modern vernacular.....LOL...I may be totally off base as well, never having used the word myself.

We really don’t know what to do with them. the chokin (?) gold rim plates sell OK (especially in boxes) as do the fish knives . i don't know about the textiles . find something similar and price them a fraction cheaper (works for me ) |

I took Maggie’s advice and looked on eBay (probably should have done that first 🙄) They all look like they would sell ok. Question is can I be bothered listing them on eBay? I might have to procrastinate some more on this one  |

Today I went to an op shop and I bought a Victorian cedar toilet mirror. I don't need it, we already have 2 , but it was only $25.00. And I cluldn't resist.. The one we already have sitting on top of our chest of drawers has a square mirror and this one I got today has a curved top (which I like better). The one we have, I think I paid $175 for it about 15 years ago, so that shows how much the value of antiques has gone down.. That one I'll try selling on eBay sometime
I also bought some nice Laura Ashley cushion covers which fit in with our decor, they were $5.00 each....every time I buy something , I have to get rid of something..l that is my rule. So I've put some cushions out for the oppie

Good finds, deb. I bought a new Laura Ashley cushion a few years ago.. it was expensive (but lovely).
I got a few small things today at the Oppies.. 3 Tupperware scoops (.10c ea) for flour etc, a Joseph Joseph garlic crusher new (.50c), new packet of Post It notes (.50c)....and some other bits and pieces.
Some times things are overpriced but I think the items I bought were underpriced.
The 2nd small op shop I went to had a $10 limit for eftpos and my total was less than that and I didn't have any cash.. so I said I would go to the Mall, get some and come back.. but the lady said don't worry.. just take the stuff and come back with the money another day (she doesn't know me).
I will, of course, take the money owed in soon...those op shops not far from me.

I've had a couple more good finds from the oppies this week... A large sterling silver lidded trinket box (i've dated it to 1906). It only cost $6.99 and a chinese black laquerered jewellrey chest for $8.00. I also found another Laura Ashley cushion which I just had to bring home Happy to say though that I'm giving them much more than I'm bringing back home  |

Mum and I were talking today about her toy tea set she was given when she was about 8. My eldest sister has it in keeping for her eldest granddaughter. I tried to google it and think it might be 1930s lusterware but we couldn’t find exactly the same thing.
It is a six place setting with cups, saucers and plates, teapot, creamer and sugar, still all complete and unbroken. I
can remember being allowed to play with it on very special occasions (under supervision lol). I might ask my sister to dig it out so I can see it again.

That's a treasure, Kay.
I had a china toy tea set when I was a child (with teapot, creamer, casserole type dish with lid etc), it wouldn't be that special though. It was made in Japan.. neighbours kids, cousins broke a few pieces when playing. I kept it for years but gave it away in the end.

g'day, good evenin'
a relo's kid's got very long red hair, past the back of the knees.
she's goin' to get it cut short next week.
she was goin' to give it to some charity.
she'd be able to sell it, and get some dough for a project she's workin' on.
any suggestions.
