Id have walked away ! I see that more and more and I think " Do that BEFORE you offer them for sale" ! A store opened up last year that buys estates and I kid you not,they actually print out what stuff sold for on ebay,even if it was ten years ago, and tape it to the items ! I actually asked the lady why she thought a price from ebay 5 years ago was relevant in todays economy and she just blank stared me !
I never went back.

 

She was way below google price

 

Nothing worth much but pickin are slim and next week deep freeze so just be observing...
The little charms are 1938 but Im sure she googled em lol
doll with messed up eyes no marks and 1865 book by Douglas Farm little value
13.00 for all except the little chiwawa's<...

 

This goes in my research pile which is growing, unsigned
2.00

Also got a hook rug probably newer and 2 art pieces, nothing special still in the car...

 

Are those "little charms" portraying boxing and wrestling by any chance?

I'm curious about the "Douglas Farm" book from 1865. What type of book is it?

I like the blue/green vase.

 

The charms are marked intramural 1938 Heavy Weight looks like boxing and wrestling
The Farm book is The Way To Cure A Fault by
I know nothing about books and should not buy them...
Thank you on the vase!

 

Boston Crosby & Ainsworth on the book

 

I found this today. It's a Renoir Litho in Use Licensed Sotheby London. I don't know if it's anything special but I've never seen a litho with it saying Licensed Sotheby London on it.

 

Mymysharonna, by any chance is the book about horses/horseback riding? If not, does it have to do with "faults" in other animals or humans?

 

It looks like it deals with humans

 

Looks like you got some nice stuff Sharonna! What is that Underwood box in the back? I like that bracelet (?) with the amber stones.

 

Oh Thank you!
It is a Coro necklace, the beads are actually dark burgandy
The back of the box says Panama Typewriter Ribbons and then describe their quality

 

Here is a little better picture

Another of the book

 

Sharona, what is the item with the two pearls?

That book is adorable, I love old timey illustrations

 

Beautiful necklace! those charms look cool, and the item with the pearls.

 

Thank you! Sorry Shi it is a umbrella pin with a trombone clasp. Cant find any marks, and havnt tested it yet

 

not silver

 

Mymysharona, I think you may have found a little gem in your book.

Here are some links to other books (for children) which the author (Mary E. Bradley) wrote.

Bradley (M. E.) Douglas Farm; a juvenile story of Life in Virginia. By Mary E. Bradley. New York. 1857 (a different entry on-line shows the book as Douglass (with 2 s's) Farm).
