gotta luv the Morgans....
ever since I played the slots in the Bahamas.....with silver dollars !!

 

The Hartford is still around; my BIL worked there for about a decade.

 

I am being stalked by jewellery. It just follows me, I swear.

 

Nice chain, probably German mid 30' ties.
Makes me think of Feldgendarmerie gorget chain.

 

You too? I swear it follows me around begging me to grab it!

 

Wish I had that curse too...!

 

Oh, yes, it tracks me, it does.

fid, thank you. It isn't marked and I need to test it, but I'm fairly sure it's some grade of silver. Very well made, too. 1930s makes sense.

 

A few more items from the backlog...these lovely things are 6x6 and heavy as sin ! Google search proved pointless,so any ideas ?




2 adorable pottery mugs.Shes apparently newish at it from what I found online,but I love them!

 

Fid, I see what you mean about the likeness to a gorget chain, too.

 

Two pictures from the Methodist Church sale for £1 each. Seems the publisher S W Partridge (printed the larger one) wrote hymns as well as publishing books in 19th century.

Hi,
Nice old prints. Jerusalem crosses in the corners are a nice touch.

Those might have been in a church or rectory at some point. The frames point that way.

 

Yes, I think they probably were. I’m surprised they got rid of them as the Church still has worshippers, if in fact they came from the Methodist Church where the sale was.

 

Might not have. It's the sort of thing that gets outdated and unloaded eventually.

 

"He leadeth me, oh blessed thought . . ." has always been one of my favorite hymns.

I have an "old" hymnal (heavily indexed as to music composers and lyrics composers) which shows "William Batchelder Bradbury, 1816-1868" as the composer of the music and "Joseph Henry Gilmore, 1834-1918" as the author of the lyrics.

 

Got this Teddy Bear at the end of estate sale along with several other items for a total of $5.00!. Bear is a limited edition (15 of 75) and can't seem to locate him anywhere. I can find other Dorothy Hodges creations, but not Woodsy. Any ideas?

 

Oops, went crazy on the pictures. Sorry.

 

I think the current EPA...has them under lock & key !!!
