Oof. I had my post all written out, and then I lost it because I got logged out.
Just a couple sales from the past week to talk about.
I tested this set of knives for gold, but didn’t get a definitive result. Possibly because the test isn’t alway good to for gold plating or because it is just gold tone metal. Similar ones on eBay are listed as gold plated, but I didn’t feel comfortable saying that it was. It still sold for $42.

I found this antique bowl in a pile of unwanted items at an auction years ago. It finally sold for $19. The buy also purchased a replacement lid for a Farberware pot. I’m assuming he needed the lid and the bowl caught his eye.

Great sales on those vacuum tubes, Steven. I picked up a big box of them at the flea market a while back for $1 with the idea of delving into testing them but learned that the proper equipment to do so is expensive and even with the right equipment they are not easy to test conclusively as good. The ones I bought were not in the original boxes so it’s not unlikely they are bad. @Sharyn I’ve had the same problem so I now draft my post off site and then copy and paste.
This consignment challenge coin is from the NATO Implementation Force for Operation Joint Endeavor in Bosnia etc in the mid-1990s. Not very glamorous but there is interest in the coins. It was a short, relatively small, highly successful NATO mission in which the US played a major part. Though not the best condition this coin sold for $130 plus shipping.
An obscure corner of the postcard collecting hobby is inhabited by art cards of the early 1900s that were mass produced with a faux brush stroke finish. Generic landscapes are usually one of the least desirable types of cards in general, but the Oilfacsim and Oilette series by Raphael Tuck are an exception. (My theory is that they were featured in a YouTube video at some point.) This is one of 4 a buyer bought together, each selling for $8.89 plus combined shipping.
This is a card with photograph from President George H.W. Bush’s Presidential Funeral in Washington DC, a family item. It sold for $18 plus shipping.
This is a pewter license plate featuring the official coat of arms of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Another family item, it sold for $40 shipping included.
This is a one-piece wood pistol grip from a cheap vintage Italian-made reproduction antique black powder revolver, a copy of the US Colt Model 1851 Navy. Inexpensive Italian and Spanish made reproductions of US antique revolvers and rifles of varying quality have been available since the 1950s but there has only been a relatively recent explosion of interest in them with a commensurate rise in prices, probably because even with the proliferation of gun control laws they’re easier to purchase than regular firearms and still can be shipped direct to the consumer (in most areas). EBay allows the sale of parts for antique firearms (other than the frame or receiver) with certain restrictions. This grip sold for $50 despite it being from one of the cheaper, less desirable brands (ASM – Armi San Marco) and having condition issues.

Hmm let me try that grip photo again:
