Featured Finds Thread

Sweet!!! One year we had a family in a shrub right under our dining room window. We had no idea until I looked out one day and watched the parents coax the babies to fledge

 

Sandwich , you say...........Hummmm.....

 

Our robins made a nest on top of our pool room air conditioner last year. It was fun to watch the babies hatch and grow.

 

My local haunt produced a few items this weekend:

Unknown material for the beads, simply stamped “Silver”.
This sterling bell charm which does twingle and ring.

A peruvian filigree sterling brooch.
This sterling bracelet with a birthday cake charm marked “danecraft”
And whatever this is (perfume bottle)? I’m fairly certain all of these are vintage vs antique but still a good little haul for me.

 

could that perfume be rose yellow and white gold ????????....perhaps???? mebeee ???? huh....Eh ????...........ohhhhh.....

 

Ha! No, not a chance but it’s cute and more important it actually can hold liquid. *gets out eye dropper*

 

Is that a Chinese export coral necklace?

 

Sure looks it!

 

I said as much on the other thread....& now I'm starting to wonder.....how would I even know....or suspect to know that.....
So ya.....I've been hanging out here too long !!
You guys & gals have gotten under my .......Angel Skin !!

 

@Marko I’ll photograph it closer tomorrow morning and post it in the other thread. It does look like shell IMO.

 

and it may indeed be............which again is a problem for me.....thinking i know stuff....that I do not know !!
Crap...........now I'm all confused !!

 

Had a few finds yesterday for little cash. Garage sale and jumble.
Most items were under a dollar each. (Actually 50 U.K. pence).
Cadbury’s biscuit tin, treen pot, Rabone boxwood ruler. The bracelets have some stones missing, first time I have bought an ART. The Ruskin style pewter brooch alas has its back pin missing.
The pretty Crown Ducal is probably a soap dish but it has no drainer.

Nice little haul yesterday with some beads, Bakelite stud box, pencil sharpener and whistle.
A resin chess piece.
Cute little Scottie dog and an early plastic buckle.
A very old looking leather covered little box,
Medic bracelets are silver and the best find in a box of modern boxed costume rubbish a 9ct ruby and diamond necklace for £2!

 

That jumped out at me right away when looking at the pictures. Nice find!

 

Does anyone know what nationality the women are? Sicilian? Italian?

 

Me too when I opened the box. I feel slightly guilty.

 

Culver Valencia Tall Glass set of 2
Lefton Bunny 1
Yesterday's haul from overheated estate sale.

 

I used to feel a bit guilty too but look at it this way, it’s gone to a home now where it’s appreciated!
The little box looks like a snuff box. Like the buckle and the pearls.

 

Just keep telling yourself it is not your job to tell someone what they are selling. Everyone has the same oppurtunities to research something & learn what is valuable. Some folks are just not interested in doing so or just don't care, they just want to sell the stuff. We thank God for folks like that because it is how a lot of us here make our money.
