Check out some of the "sold" prices on eBay for period photos of Edwin Booth. They used to do quite well

 

A few days worth of pickins!
A mid century vase,12 inches tall,reads much more gold in person,no markings


2 Georges Briard plates,9 1/2 inches,HAD to have them!

Cute little corner shelf,probably made by gramps in the garage but it appealed.

Pretty vase,11 inches tall,Im guessing Italian


I know these are a dime a dozen,but they were in perfect shape and $5 for the pair!

Hot dog s+p shakers,too kitschy to leave behind!


2 inch tall figurine,her sweet face got to me though I long ago gave up on trinkets like this

2 Frankoma coffee cups


If yall dont hear from me for a weeek or so,Im buried under a pile of bric a brac!

 

That blue vase is too cool. I always love Frankoma. Nice finds Johnny. That first vase - West German maybe?

 

Waited out a bad thunderstorm storm at Savers today and had time to look thoroughly through the jewelry case (which I rarely do).

Mexican 50's - 60's aztec calendar sterling brooch - 2" across.



Crown Trifari moonstone and glass brooch - also about 2" across -

 

Nice score! I've been in Savers here recently, and did score some sterling but it's very modern.

 

The auction catalog is up for the June auction. Here's my little vase. Woop.

How exciting Aaron, hope it goes through the roof

 

Thanks! Me too I think it'll probably fall somewhere in their auction estimate - if it goes higher - even better!

 

Still in box set of Fostoria napkin rings for a buck:

 

My finds of the day: eggs for 19 cents for a dozen (limit one - but then who needs two) and a 10k pendant for $15 with the Pratt & Whitney logo on it. My dad worked for them around the same time the pendant was made, it's one of those service award things, and it's headed for my Christmas stocking.

 

Uncovered this set today, Russian Matryoshka doll chess set - it is listed as the #1 weirdest chess set on Chess.com Also had this checker set, I'm thinking also Russian but I'm not finding them anywhere.

there are 4 bases, 2 of each colour for the checker set.

 

That is so cool!

 

Thanks Aaron, I think so too!

 

I agree - very cool!

This set seems to be along the same lines as your checkers set. I think the "bases" are for when you "king" somebody...

thanks SBSVC looks like I'm missing a few bases.

 

Cool set, Cx. I've never seen anything like that.

Johnny, I love you sharing your thought process about the different items. Made me smile. "Too kitschy to leave behind". I've used that defense before!

 

My first time finding Flora Danica at a garage sale












Just the box

 

I'm betting that'll be easy to sell on, if you don't use it to hoard other stuff or as a booth display.

 

OMG!!!!

 

Bought these as presents for myself at Brimfield
