    Isn't it fine! About eight inches and it's heavy silver, too.

    You know me too well. ;)

    I actually love the liner more than the silver, almost, with my glass addict head on.

    They all take me back, but especially the little chorister candles. Never burned, of course.

    Beautiful basket, OBB. Nice finds, all!

    Cxgirl, I LOVE the Napco candy cane bell figures. The box is awesome, too. Also the tiny ornaments for your feather tree and pretty much everything else you got. Those beer/logging posters are a total find. Love that you got to go to a sale and hit the jackpot. :singing::):kiss::joyful::joyful:

    Some things I have found in the last couple of weeks. Not a lot of places to shop but the estate sale companies are doing their best. Most take info for contact tracing, require masks and limit the number of people in the house at any one time.

    A McCoy Jard:

    A 1940s drinks recipe book:

    An older wooden bowl, nothing fancy but they sell well for me at the local flea market:

    A sterling Connemara Marble ring with tiny marks I have yet to investigate, a silver filigree pin and an interesting piece made of stamped brass filigree and rhinestones, both top links have dress clip backs. I'm not sure what I want to do with this, turn it into a necklace or try and sell it as is:

    A late 1800s twisted wire trivet:

    I think the mini ornaments are a real find, CX; and the George Hunt Jr. print is very nice; some years back I found one of his, and it is one of my favorites. You can hardly go wrong with any Hunt family item.

    I wouldn't have been haggling; I'd have been paying and running! WOOT! With the original hand-blown glass liner no less?

    @Marie Forjan - don't mess with the dress clip piece. I've never seen one before and I thought I'd seen just about everything.

    That's a pretty one. Italy made and makes a bunch of them, some better looking than others.

    Wheeeee! For six pounds? These days we're all masked, but you sure you didn't have a cap gun with you?

    Peter Viesnik Paperweight - '98 NZ. Before you get too excited, it has an internal spall near the top. I'll turn it to the back and enjoy the pretty side

    Picked up one of these today for only $2.50. Hopefully, I can replicate this seller’s sold price:
