    Bling stuff. I do like the pearl choker and earrings, especially. The ring wants to be NA petit point, but isn't.

    Is that Turquoise OBB? It’s very deep blue, pretty.
    You are right it’s a bandsmans cap badge ( Thankyou) but I’ve just realised it should have a crown on the top which has been broken off.

    It's a very deep turquoise indeed, and yes, lovely colour.

    No photo - but my wife was out driving and came across a curbside "free furniture" sign; a nice passer-by helped her load up a bookcase in near perfect shape, by the Ballard Bookcase Company; solid knotty pine, no laminates, retail value probably at least $200.

    I can just see your wife ‘ I am NOT leaving without this bookcase’!

    Majel Barrett was no fool for sure. Neither was Gene.

    Majel was a better business person than Gene, I think. Never met him, but I did sit in his office twice! Met her a couple of times, nice woman.

    Went on a camping and antiquing trip this past weekend. Did pretty well! 2 Hopi pots (unsigned) and the Santa Clara pot by Teresita Naranjo are my faves.

    You done good, kid. I haven't seen a piece of legit blackware in so long it's not funny. Not even the Mexican souvenir ware.

    The black piece in front of the baskets is actually Cherokee from the East Coast-- I don't see that very often out here on the West Coast.

    I'm on the East Coast and I've never seen any Cherokee pottery at all to my knowledge. Zilch. Have to keep my eyes peeled.

    Last night I did a one hour cursory search of house clearance I commence today.
    Relatives had taken what they wanted, paid me upfront and returned to London.

    Here's what I found without too much effort.

    Gold and silver.

    I also found a large coin and banknote collection which is my speciality but I've not sorted or photographed them.
