    Vintage Christmas: 1920's Mahjong sets

    I agree with your reticence regarding the age of the set. The Chinese are excellent practitioners of adding 'patina' to new stuff and many similar sets can be found on ebay. A recent edition of the tv series 'How it's Made' said that many new sets are made using the old techniques so are often...

    I managed to fit in a visit to Smalley's (see above posts), while on my way to the works do. The proprieter/owner Mr Brandon Harris was friendly and helpful, but explained that he has 'turned over' all of the old stock and tries to hold onto the vintage signage to add to his displays. With his...

    Question about fountain pens

    The Burnham Pen Company used casein too and so did Sheaffer in some of their earlier models - but they withdrew these offering replacements when they found that they swelled up in high humidity.

    Question about fountain pens

    Please bear in mind that some early pens were constructed from plastic made from milk protein (e.g certain Conway Stewart models) and will soften and melt if exposed to water for too long. I left a 'Dinkie' fountain pen outside overnight and rain destroyed it. If in doubt have an old expensive...

    Sorry Gents - A bit of a disappointment - I'm finally outside Smalleys and it's shuttered with a handwritten note in the door 'closed due to illness sorry'. I'll have to try again another day and of that I'm determined as I can see a light grey tweed newsboy cap I need on the windowsill - with...

    Civilian or real? M422 - sold for peanuts if real

    Got the answer on VLJ - yes it was real - perhaps a late war ANJ3A (Andrew suggested). I'm consoling myself with the thought that the winning bidder would have gone much higher if I'd continued to bid and then the UK import duty VAT and Parcelforce handling fee would have been punishing.

    Civilian or real? M422 - sold for peanuts if real

    I missed buying this M422 -I lost my bottle at $300- to my untrained eye it looks like the real thing rather than a 'private purchase' any views from those who know...
