don't lick it !!!!!!

 

It might have had saccharin in it!

 

Goodies from last week. Japanese featherweights, copper, vintage rhinestones, heart-shaped ceramic "buttons", lingerie pins, pewter cross, Russian painted pin. Enameled sterling and ?? butterflies. The tiny one is sterling too. The earrings with no tops are Victorian for sure, but bedarned if I know what they were made from. The blue star mother pin is silver, Beau Sterling jockey hat and crop. Art nouveau watch pin. The Oddfellows/Rebekah pin is 10k. The coolest bits are the collapsing pen, the mechanical watch fob pencil, and the dip pen that hides inside of the barrel when you reverse the end with the nib. The black one on the bottom is some sort of cigar cutter or something - spring-loaded grippy tweezer-ish thingie with a knife blade inside. The tooth is at the bottom of the image.

 

Got these 2 vintage glass inkwells for about the equivalent of only $1 each. The little fish one is cool and looks to can sell for good money. The pyrex (not something I’m really interested in buying) but it was only $2 for the both. The one pattern is called Pink Daisy-1950 (that’s all I know so far) Maybe the one is missing a glass lid?

 

The other is Pink Gooseberry and, yes, missing a lid.

Appreciate the information. Thanks Debora

 

Great buys on the Pyrex. That pattern is popular.

 

The Pink Daisy shape is called a space-saver. I think you'll be quite pleased if you look up sold values on ebay! I know I'd be thrilled to find either of those pieces!

Thank you for the comment.

 

Thank you for the reply. I had a look and yes I was very surprised at some of the prices. The asking price for the little fish inkwell also surprised me.

 

I love that blue color, and the fish!

 

I haven't photographed anything for awhile, I just have to get busy. I went to an outdoor show late, this was the only thing I liked. It was mixed in with sterling rings, no price tag. It's 14k. The guy wanted $250, I said I'd think about it. I went back later and managed to get it for $160....not bad for the gold weight. Of course it's a CZ.

 

pretty bling , Marko

 

Got it for about metal weight. ^5!

 

but it's so much better than that !!!!!

 

This was basically free at the charity shop. I was just thinking it’s a artistic way to draw a friendly worm But then my wife pointed out it’s a saxophone with music note (ha ha,silly me) Anyway,has anyone perhaps heard of a F or a I Milbank. At least a saxophone is cooler. Thanks

 

Ab fab!!!!

You might say "worm" was a little closer.

 

I vote for saxophone.
