Sometimes you just dont know what you are selling! 1800s Mold Greek? Roman? Religious?



Well here is an unusual item I just listed for sale. It is from the 1800s and it appears to be a mold of some kind. What was it used for? Was it just a decor item? I used Ebay's new LIKE button for facebook and popped it onto my facebook page. Some people felt it was Greek in origin others thought it looked like St Francis. I just dont know but it looks interesting so I listed it for sale. When you dont know what something is, ask around Ebay forums or groups or post it to Facebook and have your friends take a look. Cant hurt! And often times they bid on it! LOL



Selling Vintage Paperweights on Ebay- Sulfide paperweight



It has been a while since I posted here, but Im back to ramping up the sales again! I recently listed for sale a vintage sulfide paperweight. These are fairly collectible and sometimes can bring really good prices on Ebay. Usually they depict a coin, medal or person in the center. In my case it looks like it is some colonial gentleman (see pic). Paperweights in general have their following on Ebay and some sell in the hundreds of dollars. Be sure to take many pictures , especially of the top and bottom of the paperweight and describe it as best you can. Many times there wont be a makers mark so search completed listings to see if you see anything similar to help with your description.
