Thanks Janette. I went googling and it looks like our boy!

 

Got this vintage advertising thermometer. Was advertising an old time local grocery store.



Also got this piece of cloth/textile which I assume is from the company that produced the Pullman Sleeper Railroad Cars. Anybody want to speculate on whether this has any value at all or did I waste a few bucks?

 

I've got some Jablonski, it's nice glass.

As to the Neiger. I didn't have enough cash on me to buy all the bits I wanted! He was after eighty quid for a necklace which is a fair price. But I wanted ALL of it, I tell you. Hopefully, they'll do well out of the directions I pointed them in.

 

& I'm sure that made the both of you....feel good !!!

being helpful......by itself...is a nice thing to do !!!!

Good on you OBB !!!!!

 

The thrift stores were very kind to me today and yesterday. Total price was $12:

 

Nice one! I don't recognize that maker off hand, but that's a good score!

Anything Pullman is worthwhile. That looks like something off the back of a seat, call it a railroad antimacassar.

The other one may be Battin and Co.

It's amazing to me to think that someone spent the equivalent of $280 US and somehow this ends up in a thrift shop in the U.S. for $4 in perfect condition. Thank you for sharing that Cheryl; naturally I have no clue how you found this info

 

Eh, that mark was a mystery on 925-1000 for years, causing a lot of irritation for several reasons, but most of us had agreed it was Greek - then there was this thread here: https://www.antiquers.com/threads/brass-bird-markers-marks-and-info.40474/#post-842051

Might not be Neiger, but this pleased me. It's a modern watch, but as a glass geek I like it. The OTHER thing is that I now remember the maker who used gondola "dolphin" fins as a trademark. Antica Murrina!

The ring is silver and was one whole pound.

 

Woohoo, that was my glass pendant with the same logo, great ID, Thankyou.

Pretty ring and the watch is gorgeous.

 

Jealous!

I knew it was familiar, it's been annoying me for months!

 

Thanks for the info. With the correct terminology I found a similar one that had sold for $30 on the Bay! Not bad for a $2 investment.

 

Hard to argue with it at that point. Of course as railroad stuff it would be strait to hoard-dom. (Dad's influence)

 

That watch is gorgeous !

 

It's very fine, isn't it. Dead easy to put a new battery in, too.

 

Looks like a tea towel to me and I would love to have it! There are a few more listed on ebay as tea towels rather than seat covers. I also find them listed as hand towels, another possible use. Search pullman towel.
