I have a silver cigar box and I can't find who made it. It has a few makers marks on it. Check out the photos to see them.

Well, I like this group...

Hi,
I just joined the group, was happy to have found it for my snake ('living' in a rural museum in bavaria...), I think this is alright with the rules.
But I loved immediately the photo of the VW-Bus, I have one myself:

But I know, it is much too young for this group...but if s.th. was tossed aside then it is this one !

Welcome!

Thanks for joining this group! As we have started our photo collection, we noticed there didn't seem to be a place a lot of our photos to fit. We love to see history, old items that have been taken care of through the years or items that have been tossed aside and neglected.

What we are looking for in this group is, as the group name states "objects". This is not the place for photos of an overview of a historic house, but rather, the specific objects that make up the house. That is, what is inside the house, objects used for everday life, whether that be dishes, furniture, old tools, locks, light fixtures, door nobs, clocks, lamps, etc.

In the same manner, if you see an old farm, this would not be the place to post pictures of the barns that you see, but rather any old farming equipment used to keep the farm running.

We want the focus to be on the objects that made daily life function for people, rather than the whole picture. Antiques are good, no matter the condition.

We look forward to viewing lots of great pictures!
