@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
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

 

I also realized the date he painted it is right n the front on the seat on the left tri or 3, roman iii and on the right viii 8... 1938. my
chair on the bottom woman with bird above it

 

I just sold this national cash register.

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

 

Davey..that is so cool....

 

Found this paper at an estate sale for $2. It’s “The Morning Chronicle” from London and dates back to 1804.

 

Working on it!

Neodynum glass???? I hope? If it's purple in natural light and blue under fluorescent .... score!

 

Ill try it tomorrow. It looks purple to me under a light bulb ? Its VERY sparkly.

 

I am starting to suffer withdrawal symptoms. It is now the 27th jan and I have not bought anything this year yet.

 

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

 

No,you did . What era do you think ? I thought maybe 1920s?

 

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

 

And for $2 I wont whine about that !

 

Oh, you got a bargain, i'd say.

 

Im congenitally incapable of paying more than $5 for anything !
