ask for their address ....and if they have any more parents ....

 

Hubby helped me make a truckload of donations to the shelter where we adopted our three kitties. They have an upscale (they try) thrift shop. These were in the case all the way in the back, easy to miss. Marked MMA 585 TBM (I know what two out of three mean, stumped on TBM.) Cats eye moonstone and pearls, $75. The only other picture found on the internet yields no info (they aren't anywhere on the website.) Love the moonstone/pearl combo, two out of three of my birthstones.

 

T B M is easy....

These Belong to Marko ...

 

Real gold with Met markings, in the original box? Bingo! Most of their stuff is costume or sterling; real gold is rare, and from what few I could find you got the deal of the week. I don't think they even sell it any more - no takers.

 

Those earrings are gorgeous ! My want list includes a moonstone piece. Acouple of finds,nothing major but fun.
Small Roseville vase. I have built a collection without even trying.


a little brass shoe the internet tells me was a pincushion. I was going to include it in my Secret Santa gift but forgot all about it until Id already sealed the box !

Newish art nouveau mirror. Brass wich surprised me.

 

Pretty little mirror. The shoe is a cutie; it wouldn't be hard to put a pincushion back in there.

 

Roseville or Hull?
Love the shoe pincushion

 

...and probably very impolite to tell them how stupid they were for throwing money in the trash.

 

It is Hull Art.

 

Never feel stupid. I once cleaned my closets & my husband was looking at my “keep pile” said get rid of those lunch boxes already……

 

Today's $2 estate sale 'find':



Let's not waist the opportunity to start crackin' the puns. I can be the butt of a joke.

 

looks like a body cast...

 

yes....

 

Or an attempt to make something that looks like one. I'd put a flower pot inside and use it to hand out Halloween candy.

 

A great idea! Thanks!

 

Reminds me of a child’s scoliosis mold for a brace in my time that is what was done.

 

@Marko Gorgeous earrings

 

Maybe a year ago I found a prosthetic arm at an estate sale. I had a hunch that it would sell at my antique mall, and I was right. I sold it for about 4x what I paid, so a good return.

I'll hafta think how I could label this one, but it'll sell too.

 

Ooooo I love a nice box ! Id gladly own all of those !
