No netting Hang on I'll measure the one in the pic ; 10" right on the money !! So a little smaller but the weight is incredible. I could have bought a way bigger one but wanted to reduce the chance of any breakage as much as I could, probably overkill ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call it my "one shot wonder" Later that day as his Father was digging the pellet out he banned me from his house for life. A “friend” and I decided to herd some cattle using BB guns…we were 9 years old. I learned a great lesson that day from the owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have a Redwood coffee table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Some kind of earthenware knob . . . It's 1 9/16" and I haven't seen another like - reminds me of Tigerware. If anyone has any idea what sort of ceramic this is I'd be happy to learn more about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted February 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I’m not familiar with Tigerware. Where was that made ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerware was made in Germany and was popular in the 16th & 17th centuries - this ain't it, but the color and pattern reminded me of it. This is more likely some kind of mochaware. It's tough to see in the pics but it looks like it was rounded on a lathe before it was decorated and glazed. This certainly isn't a one-off, and I am really surprised I haven't seen another example.

William Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Some old coins I pulled from a "mystery box" a couple weeks ago. Probably worth face value at best, but still a cool find (the "Olympia" coin is double sided, thus only one pic). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
