Featured Car boot and charity shop finds

I’ve accumulated a few finds in recent weeks from charity shops and car boots.
Just sharing but I’d love to know if anything jumps out as interesting please
Bear with me there will be several posts!
Coral, Amber, glass and horse bit necklaces.

A nice low grade silver dish. Unmarked

Some type of stud? Large at 1.5” across

Wonder if this could be Coro, the back is similar with the central rivet and bending clasp.

Earrings,all unmarked, Czech dress clip and cute cat, probably also Czech.

Random modern Claire’s ( high street) spider. Very surprised at how nice it is as Claire’s is usually teenagers tat.

Coro ballerina

Nice silver 1964 bangle.

 

Odd glass pearls. Heavy and feel good quality but I don’t know if they will survive the was they desperately need.


Carnelian- Indian? No idea if old or brand new!


LOVE these. Satin glass beads.
Tin 1948 Olympics souvenir thingy.

Chanel buttons and I think they are the real vintage deal!

Amazing blue glass necklace. Silver marked 925 but who know if actually Sterling. Shocking workmanship but who cares when such a pretty colour!

 

I'd have nabbed the blue necklace too. Probably modern and made in India. The orange agates with the heart dangle are probably Indian too. That wire wrap business near the clasp has always been Indian when I've found it before. I think the stud thingies are cuff buttons.

 

Thanks

Any idea when they were in fashion?

 

Great stuff. That green dress clip/pin thingy is gorgeous

 

I'd say a bachelor button rather than a cuff button. Edwardian or a little later, probably silver. Nice amber. Satin glass is lovely, I'd have bought the blue. I don't think your atomic brooch is Coro. There's another maker did fronts like that, brain can't remember.

 

Thankyou.It’s better quality than some I have, and the centre glass is lovely.
It’s marked on the clip, suspect it just says Czechoslovak or something similar but it’s at too awkward an angle for my loupe to focus.

 

Late Victorian/Edwardian I'd think. (i.e. what Bear said)

If the Coro-wannabe is American, it could be by any of dozens of American jobbers. (companies hired to "do the job") No way to know which.

 

Mine neither!
I’ve been racking my brains as I know I’ve seen that crystal embedded glass before.

 

Thankyou

 

very nice. I especially like the ballerina and the purple joolies.

 

The two buttons with the Celtic design are cuff links. Pressing the ears should release the face. I can barely see some writing under one's ear. Perhaps a pat no. or date? I would date them 1910 to 1930.

 

The ballerina is a surprisingly nice find. She is an Adolph Katz piece and I think quite scarce.
The purple beads are just wonderful, they look like sweets!

 

The carnelian necklace is definitely Indian.
The filigree dish could be Persian/Iranian, I have a Persian brooch with similar frilly leaves. It has an Isfahan minakari (enamel) roundel in the centre, so presumably Isfahan filigree.

 

The dish was on the £2 table, I’ve seen some similar brooches so thought it was worth a punt. I’ll Google Persian and Iranian filigree. Thankyou

 

I love that cat!

 

Nice finds. I specialy like the gag bit design. And the glass beads rope neckless.

 

That 1948 badge is super. Wembley!

 

So it is! I didn’t think of that.
Not sure if it was a badge or what as there is nothing on the back. Maybe just a souvenir trinket but it’s amazing it’s survived.

 

Cap badge, maybe? I'd have grabbed that.
