"Work Conquers All"...found on everything from WWI German war medals to military corps (the "C"?), unions, brotherhoods, day schools, European clock towers, and so on. Carpenters and Joiners....Maybe B-IDC might be an Industrial Design College. Thank you, Traintime! You’ve given...

I have a simple little ring that's driving me nuts, because I can't identify the silversmith who made it or the organization that it's for. As you'll see in the attached photo, it looks to be a school ring, with a shield bearing the letters BDIC (or BIDC?) over the motto "Labor Omnia Vincit&quo...

I’m trying to identify the maker of a silver gilt Air Observer’s badge, from the First or Second World War. Does anyone recognize this maker’s mark?

Wonderful - thank you, Phil!

Amazingly, they just happen to be the same strength as the modern reading glasses I wear so, sometimes,...

Thank you, Phil and Trev. Mystery solved!

Hi everyone, This is my first posting on this forum, so please be gentle with me! I have a pair of antique eyeglasses with confusing marks. The front part that holds the lenses is marked with the date letter "o" on one side of the nose piece, and a duty mark - King George III? - on the oth...
