Chinese? He does look a bit like a Steppes pony at that.

Sure does. Moroccan. Thanks.

Found some stuff today too. Too late getting to some gold bracelets. Saw the local *itch with them in her hands as I walked up. But I glommed all the scrap silver and came home with more money than I left with. Also one piece that is NOT scrap - Birmingham 1911 Kiddush Cup. It's a small one, a hair over 4 inches, but fully marked. Unannounced tag sale find - the good piece in a pile of kid stuff.

 

my kiddish cup is small too, but Mom always kept it with the good silver !

 

Looks like a rainbow!

 

Good for you. That never happens here. Estate sales are picked clean within an hour.

 

As I've told you before, most of the good thrifts are selling to dealers with one person getting kickbacks. I didn't go to one store notorious for this early, my mistake. Evidently they aren't all that pleased with that selling mode anymore or there were some mistakes. I bought this box of 14k earrings for $6.

The pins were $2 each. Sterling chain, sterling hoops, $3 each. Mother of pearl necklaces $1 each. Vintage sterling amber nugget pierced earrings $1.25.

 

These were marked as costume, $8, 14k opal and diamond huggies. The open-back clear rhinestone necklace was pricey at $7.


The murano glass and screwbacks were from another thrift mistakenly identified as cloisonne. They need a quick vinegar dip, $5.

Better shot of the amber earrings.

Funny thing is a dealer was in the jewelry case before me and left a lot of great stuff, IMHO.

 

wow you guys are scoring like crazy.Thanks for sharing.

 

This one has wriggle engraving; I have a hunch the maker was a Russian or other Ashkenazi Jew who emigrated.

 

Found a couple of things ,including yet another art piece wich broke my streak of many months. But I had to have it !


This precious little lamp made me buy her,though I have zero use for it or anyone to give it too.The googly eyes yanked me in.Maybe one day my niece in law will change her ghastly bland Ikea taste and discover the joy of vintage.I do have to bite my tongue though ! I mean how cute is this ???

 

Wouldn't be my first choice either, but she'd be cute in a baby's room.

 

Found out the artist is Norwegian by the name of Ivar Bruun .

 

Looks like a Science Fiction magazine cover to me.

 

I love this!

 

Does look like a match.

 

14k opal and diamond huggies.!!!!

that's not a mistake , that's a f-ck up !!!

great find.....even I'd wear those !!!

 

I found this interesting enough for the very little money it was. In very poor condition. Does someone perhaps known this print? Is it perhaps Amanda Baldineth or Amanda Baldinell?

Great! Thanks Debora.Pity it’s in such poor condition. But it was also not even close to $1 and I like it.

 

I saw Rio Bravo....for the 6th time last night....

 

I Have that kind of coffee pot but without the glass top or percolator insides. I use it to make egg coffee on Sundays - YUM!
