Thanks AdvertureE!
After looking at more googled photos I have found out that before Germans, Prussians used this symbol in their military and it is also a symbol of firefighting in the US. So many rabbit holes to go down. I’d love to spend a couple of hours just at the Holocaust Museum link.
Thanks for sharing!
I love that guy. Very entertaining to watch.
That’s a tough one. Maybe try making a rubbing of it. Sometimes I find that helps.
Thank you faoneybaloney! Gives me some more keywords to use as well.

I don’t copy my entire store to etsy and don’t expect it to double my income. Right now I have about 700 items on ebay and 100 on etsy. I cross post because I have already put the majority of the work into the item by sourcing it, taking pictures of it, measuring and writing a listing for ebay. To cross post on etsy I copy and past all of that and the only extra time spent is creating tags (keywords) and longer titles. I don’t expect to double my income on etsy but if I make an extra few thousand a year on there I don’t have a problem with that.
You may wonder why not just create new listings on ebay? Physically there is limit each day to what I can accomplish. If there wasn’t I would just keep listing more inventory on ebay. But that isn’t possible. So I take a break physically and cross post to etsy. Or do it in the morning while having coffee in bed. Or at night while watching a show.
Now that I’ve been selling on etsy for several years I am so comfortable there that if things do go south on ebay I have no learning curve to ramp up on etsy.
I also cross post on bonanza because there is zero work involved but I sell much less on bonanza than on etsy or ebay.
I’ve dabbled on Amazon but I think it would take a lot of work to do FBA and I don’t enjoy that kind of work. I don’t like to shop big box stores and I don’t want to buy tens or hundreds of identical items.
So that’s why I diversify. Jay I think you look at it in a very black and white sort of way. There is a gray area where there are still some rewards.
ETA also there are some things that etsy does better than ebay. One of my favorites is that your listings never go away on etsy. Every listing I’ve ever made on etsy still exists there so if I want to I can list a similar item very easily or look back to check out what it sold for etc

Thanks Mike. I’ll look into it. I’m really getting into brass lately.
Wow. Thanks guys. Very interesting stuff! I’ve yet to see one with the glass piece which makes sense since they probably usually are broken by the time they make it to a thrift store. I’ll have to pay more attention when I watch movies or tv shows taking place in that time period. Maybe I’ll revisit Downton Abbey! Thanks Mike and Jay
Thanks for the explanation Inglewood. I see what you’re saying. I looked him up on Amazon and his books sound interesting but not really what I usually read.

I love Margaret Atwood. I’ve never heard of Farley Mowat? Are his books similar to MA?
I’d love to watch The Handmaid’s Tale but don’t have Hulu either. I wonder if I can sign up for a month and binge watch the first season.You’re welcome 🙂
Google images ‘Kensington Aluminum’ and there are quite a few different pieces with the same logo on the back / bottom.
I searched brass plates, brass covers, brass feet
here are some more photos showing size and other angles. they are bigger than walking stick badges though they do have a similar shape
I just opened a second account recently for the 50 free listings. I’m moving some of my stale inventory over to that account.
