    @johnnycb09 - try the necklace in day and artificial light. I'll bet it's neodymium glass .

    Two nice stretchy bracelets, older, for peanuts. One is old plastic the other carnelian. And I do love vintage dress patterns. Those were three for a pound. ;)

    so you seen the letter picasso sent back,.. got me thinking alright i need better proof he painted it .So i went out on the net looking for answers and I came across this page and that says brushstrokes are a painters fingerprints, I brought the chair home and set it up on a pedestal and took pictures of every inch of it from top to bottom and underneath and blew them up to see the brush strokes so I could compare them with other picasso's DSC09301.JPG
    these are some of the pictures i took

    when I blew up the last one i realized it was asso under the paint and there was some writing just to the left of it ,so i blew it up and found picasso's hand written numbers/letters on it

    that one with the flowing fair type brushstrokes got me thinking they must be in his other work so i downloaded a lot of examples and came across this one done in 1909 woman with helmet hair Pablo Picasso_Woman_with Helmet_of Hair 1904-2.JPG Pablo Picasso_Womanwith Helmet of Hair1904-vs chair 1.JPG

    I just sold this national cash register.

    I was actually able to track down the grandson of the original owner in Latta, SC.

    I found this fossil part vertebrae in the garden of the last clearance, it was just sticking out of the soil.

    I took it home and washed it.

    Too big for human, could be a horse, cow or a baby Dino :cool:

    Coins for size comparison are $1 Ike, £2 and a €2

    Found this paper at an estate sale for $2. It’s “The Morning Chronicle” from London and dates back to 1804. DD02CAC8-5A64-49A2-8B67-B653E7345390.jpeg

    Might be neodymium, I swear I posted that before, or am I dreaming. Might also be a synthetic tanzanite.

    I think pretty recent. These are being widely made as nice repros of older styles.
