labradorite.....isn't that pricey stuff?

 

Not particularly.

 

OH !!!

 

A pound of medium grade labradorite rough is about $14,Finnish spectrolite can be more expensive and colorful.

 

No, not pricey ... but pretty ... and it sells well, too!

 

Great find on the silver tray quirkygirl!

 

Recent stuff part 1.
1) License plates can be worth great money as many states, maybe all, will reissue vintage plates for vintage cars. (system spun the photo!!!)
Best to find those with interesting letter combinations and/or engine sizes.
These are in great shape and were $2 each. I especially like the Yukon one with the nugget in the pan!
It is worth about 18 to $25. More if there is a biding war over the #.
2) ARMY 100' (probable) tape is quite heavy.
3) Snuff bottle I don't know about. The sticker is Hong Kong...if it is even valid. Siggy may be upside down.
Can anyone help me on value for this?
4) I suspect this YODA gizmo is a cereal prize but not sure exactly what it is because of the protective cardboard. Anyone?
5) Misc. items unfortunately the Tonka's trailer wasn't there.
Disneyland 50th pin.
Milk bottle caps.
Cool Hot Wheel.
6) Manual for my truck.

Recent stuff 4.
System spun photos again.
1) Some of you know I wear Hawaiian shirts. I do from the instant it's warm enough until it's too cold. This one is tiny and I HAD to have it! It's about a foot square!
That's a dime at the left.
2) Mountie tin.
3) Santa fork set.
4) Abalone (?) spoon.

Recent stuff 5.
System spun photos again.
1) Probably Hobby Lobby sign but a good gift to my friend that lets me store my truck on his property when I'm away.
2) Great book in great shape for its age.
3) Pinewood Derby cars all came in a bag at GW. I like these much for the design and effort put out by these kids though I bought them just for the 'Drag Star'.
4) Penguin ornament.
5) You KNOW I LOVE the cover of this book.

Thank you.
Nothing really fabulous but all fun.

 

Great finds! That tape measure with the great seal on it sure is curious.

1. Glass "bowl" - not sure where this one came from. 5$

2. Vase marked "handpainted - made in holland" 4$

3. Brass Tibetan singing bowl - sings beautifully. 1.50$

4. Modern-ish set of bird/duck sculptures. My most expensive splurge - 12$

Thanks!
It's ARMY but I've yet to research the back of it.
Maybe a gift to a soldier?

 

Or a veteran. BTW - your snuff bottle really does come from Hong Kong. It's the kind of stuff Pier One USED to carry when they were still cool, IOW not highly valuable but it always looked interesting.

 

some great finds KOT! Love the Snow White LP
I love wearing Hawaiian shirts too - I'm up to 38 in my collection!

 

a singing bowl for a buck n' half....sweet..

 

Thanks!
