Holy guacamole. Indian?

The probable amber necklace I found Saturday. Double-ended ombre pattern. It has a toggle clasp, but with a triple loop so you can change the length. Whoever made this knew their stuff. The stabilizer bars, or whatever they call them, that keep the bead strands in place are amber too.

 

Presumably Indian, maybe someone else will weigh in. Also nice bracelet.

 

Picked just now, six Steiff animals with buttons and tags from varying eras. Three cats, two dogs and an owl for $18.99+.

 

Wow. You get some sensational stuff.

 

This again is a non production day at the thrift, how this stuff sits there since late Saturday I don’t understand.

 

Amazing.

 

Holy you-know-what! What a wonderful find! I LOVE Steiff animals and have quite a few, myself.

 

What a find. Unreal. Congrats!!

 

When I lived in Germany I would buy them every time I went to a flea market, usually .50 pfennig to a d-mark. By the time I came back to the States I had over 300. I worked for an American airline so they shipped back in company boxes without having to going through customs.

 

@anundverkaufen - Did you have to give anyone the steiff-arm to get through check out? Do you feel like you steiffed them of their real value?

Sorry - couldn't help it Your Savers continues to be the goose that lays the you know what. Nice find!

 

At least he didn't pay a price that was too Steiff...!

 

Smaller piece of Indian silver today, £5 from a charity shop. Apparently four people had already looked at it and passed. Seems like madness.

 

Is it marked?

 

Someone was NOT paying attention. Five quid? Wish I could find some at any price; it doesn't turn up in the States except at silly money prices.

 

Nope, I don't think I've ever had marked Indian silver

 

A few from the back log ...
Not sure of the age on these . I thought Victorian ,but Im not sure. They are 6 1/2 inches tall ,and perfect for my candlestick lamps ! Thoughts ?


Mid century cast iron Geisha's,arent they fab?!? 5 inches tall.

Pretty cobalt vase,Im guessing bohemian


Bug in lucite (was I ever hoping it was amber!) but still pretty cool

Durand crystal frog

 

For that price, I would have taken a chance & run right here to get confirmation.

 

I'd have said Thai not Indian from the dancer. Well worth a fiver. Indian silver is hardly ever marked.

 

Luv the candlesticks! Griffins?

 

I think so. The paint seems original . heavy as well,wich made me think older but Im not sure when the nut on the bottom was used.
