    Now THAT was a grab bag! WHOO! The pressed glass may be 1960s-ish sounveir stuff. The earring is an earring, and those Hello Kitty earrings would pay for the whole bag if you sold them. Older Sanrio goodies can sell for real money.

    This we gotta see! I went to an estate sale last weekend, and your $5 grab bag beats everything I saw there by a mile.

    I pulled these out lots of stuff at today's clearance.

    This 1968 Apple LP is bringing between £75 and £600 depending on the serial number and pressing details.
    (I covered the naughty bits):rolleyes:

    I found this Sterling silver Royal Navy medal for the Near East campaign, only around 1,700 were struck for the Navy.
    It is edge named for the recipient.

    I found it under the kitchen sink, just lying there between the cleaning materials.

    (both sides.)

    A medal flung under a kitchen SINK? Oy gevalt. That really will be a job of work. If he'd toss a Navy medal under the sink anything could be anywhere.

    Is it me, or does the cut side of the Apple label look naughty in context?

    Is the clearance you showed photos of a little while back with all the booze bottles everywhere?

    BTW, what is the serial number on your Jon & Yoko album? Hopefully, it is one of those that is closer to the second number. ;):happy::happy:
