Bela Lugosi


Lenticular Halloween Ornament


I was going to throw the frame away and just keep the card, but it turns out it's electric and still works (sight and sound)


So now it will be someone's Christmas present. You know... Spirit of the Season, and all that.

 

That's amazing!

 

Sweet! Ever watch a show called Oddities? I don't think it's still on, but the owners of the store on the show would LOVE that.

 

that's some pretty weird shit.........great find !!!!

 

The elephant necklace looks like 14k, too, not vermeil....red jade? Carnelian? Great score!

 

That is stunning!

 

Show us all of it when you get it sorted!

 

In the Secret Santa drawing next time on this site?

 

Don't I wish. Gold plate and agate from the looks of 'er.

 

I absolutely LOVE that!

 

It's half way in between Halloween Scary as heck and dead cool.

 

Another piece for my currency collection. 1860 puts it right before the Civil War.

 

I "did" a rummage sale, a church tag sale, and two charity thrifts today. Other than a gold chain at the charity thrift, a little local one, this was the coolest find. The center rhinestone is the size of a quarter. I did score a really cool bullion embroidered purse, but another purchase killed it before I got it home, i.e. pulled a lot of the wire loose. That's not repairable, so the bag is pretty well dead. On the upside, I now have Mother's Day and Father's day for my sister and BIL covered.

 

A bit late, but somehow I rarely get around to the finds thread.
Agree with Davey, Moroccan, possibly Algeria, Tunisia. And yes, a tourist piece, base metal. Based on a traditional silver Islamic jewellery style, here is a silver bracelet:


Not all texts are Islamic, I sold a Tunisian base metal bracelet with the Arabic words 'free woman'. I'd like to think that has something to do with colonial times, when so many Berber women sold their finest jewellery to finance the struggle for independence.

 

Wow, great score for you Lloyd!

 

That is a beautiful pin Evelyb30! Do you think it is Czech? It reminds me a Matchless Wonder Star Christmas light
