A real crier

[imukdiver]

As some know I collect stuff from Lancaster,PA. I dug a small smasher pit last week with blade and pulled this out of the busted glass and ash. Here is a question for you repair guys. Is this fixable ?

The bottom is debossed " eagle porcelain works, Lancaster City PA, Henry Gast & ?? ??. Oh I completely forgot to mention it's a personal spitoon.

Repairable but I think it's really gonna cost you to have it done right, local museum can point you in the right direction...

That is a museum worthy piece if whole....

That is killer, would be great if it could be repaired.

That's a great piece.

My personal opinion - I'd glue back broken pieces, but not have missing pieces replaced.

It would certainly find a display spot in my house as is.

I dont care how historical that piece is, in my opinion it looks like chat. Bad colors man bad colors. The one Idiver found is the real deal
