    The book is interesting: during WW2, books printed here had no DJs, as paper was so scarce.

    Nice little necklace, heavy crackled glass. Badly punched, but a 9ct stamp on the chain/clasp. I suspect 1920s or 30s. D26A.jpg D26B.jpg

    One whole British pound from a dealer. ;)

    Classic 30s colour, as it were. The amber color was everywhere for a few years.

    Yesterday's Moorcroft find. It has a chip out of the edge that someone filled in with marker, but for one whole US dollar I got my first bit of Moorcroft. DSCF6628.JPG DSCF6630.JPG

    BTW Bear - those beads could be citrine instead of citrine-colored. If that's gold chain on there they might be better than glass. They don't have a perfect color match, so it might be worth checking.

    Premier League stuff. I had to read it twice myself. I have a beat-up Man U winter coat, a gift from a friend, had to learn some of the language in self-defense.:p

    Lloyd, it's not the Twin Towers.
    All I know is that the manufacturer of your puzzle called it CONCRETE JUNGLE, & the design has been discontinued. I found some unused online, ranging in price from $10 to $32.
