Hello everyone,
As I promised last week, here is another list with these beautiful antique silver items WITH MORE DETAILS. The proof pic is just a single pic, but check out the links for each individual item to see more details. I am going to try running these a couple more times over the next few weeks, but after that, the items will probably live on my personal profile where you can feel free to reach out at any time.
The story: I was able to purchase this lot from an antique dealer in my area. All items are “as found.” This means I believe them to be authentic, original pieces and not modern reproductions. If you have any information to the contrary or to provide better details about a date or identification, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Zelle only please.
Offers: Due to the age of these items, most are not priced relative to melt. I will consider ANY offers that respect the age and historic value of the items on top of their intrinsic metal value. Offers of melt will not be considered, except for the Thai makeup compact. In general, I have tried to price these items around or significantly below comps. All prices include insured shipping.
[ITEM 1](https://imgur.com/a/jsde260188-5n8lXFM): 800 purity peacock weighing 242g. Based on [comparable listings](https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/sculptures/animal-sculptures/pair-of-antique-german-hanau-silver-peacocks/id-f_50383662/), this is a German Hanau production made in the early 1900s. It has a hollow body, and there was a small repair on the tail that is visible from the underside and was well covered on the top. Based on how well the details were etched above it, the repair might even have been done at the time it was made. Hallmarks are on the tail, and there is a text mark on the bottom of the claw that is mostly obscured from rubbing on the ground. Dimensions are about 5.5" tall by about 12" long. Asking $1,200.
[ITEM 2](https://imgur.com/a/jsmi260189-KMeRjUW): 999 purity Korean cloisonné bowl weighing 367.5g. These bowls are highly collectible, and this one is beautifully carved and worked. No maker's mark that I can see, but it is marked with Ag999순은. Asking $1,500.
[ITEM 3](https://imgur.com/a/jsmi260185-aKgOgnJ): 925 purity “Whiting Davis mesh bag” weighing 148.9g. No imperfections in the links as far as I can tell. The clasp has small round blue sapphire cabs on it. This purse is deceptively heavy for its size. A classic early 19th century item. Asking $600.
[ITEM 4](https://imgur.com/a/jsmi260184-PlORdcv): 950 purity Meiji? era Japanese cigarette case depicting the 7 deities weighing 191.6g. There is a slight defect with one of the clasps, so it only closes on one side. The art is signed based on AI’s translation of the kanji, but the hand-carving of the first two characters is past its ability to decipher. If anyone recognizes or can read the mark, please let me know what it is. Asking $850.
[ITEM 5](https://imgur.com/a/jsmi260183-QaPHnmR): A 950 purity silver French military medal weighing 17.3g. This one features the “Algérie” and “Forces Françaises en Allemagne” bars. Asking $75.
[ITEM 6](https://imgur.com/a/jsmi260190-qP2zS7I): 925 purity Hecho en Mexico ALC Guadalajara belt buckle weighing 54.9g. Buckle features a longhorn  with red stone or glass eyes. Asking $200.
[ITEM 7](https://imgur.com/a/jsmi260187-cTK0VoH): 925 purity Siam niello makeup compact. Gross weight is 119.1g, but without the mirror it is 108.4g. The item is in very good condition, with the artwork on both sides depicting possibly Wat Arun and the traditional warrior. Asking $205.
[ITEM 8](https://imgur.com/a/jsde260186-FTAJK1E): 900 purity Egyptian miniature pots weighing 120.5g. The marks are tiny, but the Arabic 900 is pretty clear. I believe the rest should be a symbol, but I can’t see what it is. I believe these are miniature bean pots? If anyone has any additional information, I’d love to hear it. Asking $450 for the pair.

Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I've listed anything on here, but I recently came across some amazing silver pieces at an antique store. I wanted to share them on here where there may be some people who are looking for them more than on the jewelry forum.
[Proof](https://imgur.com/a/260723-1RwSaBm)
Zelle only please.
I apologize that the first time listing them is a bit rushed; however, if you want more pictures of anything in particular, please let me know, and I will send them when I get home tonight. I am planning to get more detailed pictures in individual links a little bit later too for future listings. All items are in "as found" condition: meaning I have not attempted to repair, change, or modify them from the way they were sold to me by an antique store. Based on the provenance of the dealer, I believe them to be original pieces rather than modern reproductions. If you have anything information to the contrary, please let me know.
Offers: Due to the age of these items, they are not priced relative to melt. I will consider offers that respect the age and historic value of the items on top of their intrinsic metal value. Offers of melt will not be considered, except for the makeup compact. But in general, I have tried to price these items around or significantly below comps. All prices include insured shipping.
ITEM 1: 800 purity peacock. Based on [comparable listings](https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/sculptures/animal-sculptures/pair-of-antique-german-hanau-silver-peacocks/id-f_50383662/), this is 1/2 of a set; German Hanau made from early 1900s. It has a hollow body, and there was a small repair on the tail that is visible from the underside and was well covered on the top. Weight for the individual item is 244g. Dimensions are about 5.5" tall by about 12" long. Asking $1,200.

ITEM 2: 999 purity Korean cloisonné bowl weight 367g. These bowls are highly collectible, and this one is beautifully carved and worked. No maker's mark that I can see, but it is marked with Ag999. Asking $1,500.

ITEM 3: 925 purity Whiting Davis purse weighing 150g. There is a bit more to the mark that I am really struggling to read, but the brand is pretty clear. Also clearly marked "sterling." No imperfections in the links as far as I can tell. The clasp has small round blue sapphire cabs on it. This purse is deceptively heavy for its size. A classic early 19th century item. Asking $600.

ITEM 4: 950 purity Meiji? Japanese cigarette case featuring the 7 deities weighing  192g. There is a slight defect with one of the clasps, so it only closes on one side. This one is signed on the cover, but I can't read the Japanese, and AI isn't super helpful. Asking $850.

ITEM 5: A 950 purity silver French military medal featuring the Algeerie and Forces Françaises en Allemagne bars. Weight is about 17g if I remember correctly. Asking $75.

ITEM 6: 925 purity Hecho en Mexico ALC Guadalajara belt buckle featuring a bull with red stone or glass eyes. Weight is 55g. Asking $200.

ITEM 7: 925 purity Siam niello makeup compact. Weight is 119.1g, but there is a small amount of weight dedicated to the mirror and ring holding it in. So subtract maybe 10g. Still in very good condition, worked on both sides. This is the only piece priced relative to melt vale at 10% over melt. Asking $205.
ITEM 8: 900 purity Egyptian miniature pots weighing 122g. I can read the basic purity hallmark on this because it's pretty easy, but I can't make out the rest. I'd love additional information on what these are supposed to be because it looks like they are beautiful attempts to create miniature (but functional) dishes used for heating something. There's a little hole in the side of the base that you could insert a match into. Asking $450 for the pair.
