Mystery Inlay for Identification
on: August 19, 2010, 12:38:03 AM
OK I hope this one is just a little more challenging.  

Can you identify this inlay?

It's on an older, metal-head-tweezers, 58mm.

Ont know but I sold one just like it months ago on eBay.  Where did you get it?

Interesting.  I got it from another collector.  I'm pretty sure (99.x) he did not pick it up any time recently, or from ebay.

I picked up a few of these a couple years ago. There are at least 2 types; 1 old Victoria tang stamp as seen and 1 newer with modern tang stamp and a different design for the lamp. Both are metal inlays and most likely are for some company that has been around for many years. Need to photo them side by side for a comparison. Maybe later. I do not have any further info but have asked the President of VSAKCS for help but so far he has come up blank.

Interesting.  I wonder if it replaced the cross in Islamic countries at one time?

Well silly, its Aladdin's Lamp! You rub it and make a wish!  :salute:




Has yet to work for me though. Maybe they are all used up since you only get 3 wishes each right?  :think:

Well, it's definately not Scottish Rite :think:

 Some run from breaks of ice, and answer none:
 And some condemned for a fault alone." -William Shakespeare, King Lear (1608), Act IV, scene 6, line 169
