    I wish I new more about coins but at least I knew enough to grab it. The half dollars and dimes are 1964 or earlier.

    He’s going to build a ramp from the hillside nearby, when the weather’s nice again. I’ll post a pic. when it’s done.
    It’s sustained 90mph wind already without any damage.

    Clearing the 100 year old guys house out today, found some interesting stuff.
    Its going to take around 4 days to complete.

    In a bureau I found a 1933 English version of Mein Kampf.

    Here are a few goodies I've picked up - 3 piece smoking set from China, all the pieces have little feet on them, large Fontanini nativity pieces, Strawberry Hill Pottery Owl - this pottery always sells quickly and for a good price, something to keep an eye out for, cool little shoe knife from Germany and these 2 Mexican candle holders (I think)

    All very cool...especially like the owl - definitely will keep my eyes open for Strawberry Hill.

    Definitely old. That back is pre-War without a doubt. That little English language book gives me the creeps, but I bet there's a market for it. Don't tell anyone the ring was in the same drawer; they might think it's contaminated.

    I spent (mumble on this stuff, but think I did OK....if the jade is jade, that is. The pin is Israeli and most likely silver. No marks, but I've seen them before. The earrings have silver wires and the black onyx bracelet has silver beads and a hallmarked sterling clasp. The red beads look like Chinese coral, and are, but the clasp is hallmarked 14k. I'll be taking it apart and selling the clasp for more than I paid for the whole necklace. One jade piece has a bail marked 18K, and I've seen enough weird Chinese pieces to believe it.

    Straight outta the woodwork!
    A German (the straight one!) and a Belgian made (the curved one).
    Love them both, but still need to find out what the curved one is....

    This label is oil soaked. Would it sell even though the bottle top is broken?
