Hi Greg does Tiffany still have a clearance counter?
I had picked up some good rosenthal wine glasses on clearance a few years ago. but never seen a tiffany clearance.

 

One of my favorite words - Clearance.(LOL) The next level is: clearance plus manufacturer's coupon. Top level: FREE. My store has a donation bin on the way out, so if I score stuff I can't use, in it goes.

 

I love the paperweight, too. Greg, do you ever visit Wheatons?

Score on those Tiffany candlesticks! Woo Hoo!

 

Hi,
Have not been to a Tiffs in years. The main store had the clearance room but it was never advertised or marked. You just had to know or just find it.
Hi Marko,
Used to go to Wheaton's a lot but have not been in several years.

Key words other than bent or old?

 

pendant..

 

Victorian

 

Watch pendant. Late 19th.

 

I'm not seeing a watch pendant; there's no hook for a watch. 1870s brooch. Have you tested the metal? Victorian gold-filled Those little dangles may even be magnetic; the ones on current Israeli jewelry often are.

 

That broken off bit in the middle?

 

Kinda small for a spot for a watch. I bet there was a circular dangle of some kind in there at some point. Watch hooks were usually attached to the back of the pin.

 

First real auction fun in months. Late fifties salesman sample Zippos. No inserts. Five bucks a piece.

and a 1934 or 35 in excellent condition

 

Hmm. They have a Jensen esque look.

Feel too heavy for sterling

Mark hard to see with my eyes. What the heck for a buck.

 

Wow, Terry, I bet those are worth a lot to collectors.

 

Wowzer, Terry, congratulations!!!!

 

Holy cow, what a find!

 

Terry ... OOPS!

I went to an estate sale today and spent $75. The show runner said there wouldn't be much jewelry and she was right, but I got an autowinder watch, nice sterling necklace, sterling brooch, and a small piece of hallmarked gold in the pile. Irish linen too, brand new in box. The best thing I saw was parked in a garage across the street. I could only see the back, but this is identical - 1964 Ford Galaxie ragtop:

 

I was excited to find this today, brass Taj Mahal lamp, 9" x 9" x 9" - I saw one years ago and thought it was pretty cool to see lit up this is just the brass piece, so I'll need a wood base and some electrical stuff, also will need some cleaning to get rid of the green and then it will be a thing of beauty

 

That lamp would make one heckuva night light!
