Lawn bowling?

 

If you're doing Secret Santa and get me, you know what to do with that box of "jools".(LOL) Never pitch old costume jewelry; there's always someone out there looking for it.

The first pin is a souvenir of Israel, most likely. They sell all sorts of pins, or did, made of real and synthetic mother of pearl, carved into Jerusalem crosses, stars of David, menorahs, etc. The carved deer looks like some sort of Black Forest or general alpine souvenir. As for that last one... dunno.

 

The Lelong may have some interest.

you scored Dave Love the stand for the watch!

 

My guess is the larger one was eau de toilette & the smaller one was the parfum. Companies often packaged them like this as gift sets.

I doubt these would bring big money on eBay, but they will probably sell at a boot sale because of the boxes. I know there is a UK chapter of my perfume bottle collectors group, so I am sure that some of them prowl around your boot sales.

 

davey, do NOT scrap that handbag frame, whatever you do! They sell really well. The perfume bottles are good, too - and some of your other scrap lots ought to sell above weight.

 

Just caught up on 10 pages of Finds ..Nice work everyone

 

A few more recent finds,so much for my vow of slimming down!
6 inch tall vase,love the colors.


6 inch tall pitcher,again the colors caught me. Thought it said Italy but now Im not so sure?


Interesting miniature lustre childs tea set,the pot is 2 1/2 inches high,the others an 1 1/2.


4cups and saucers marked Balmoral ware,they match my gaudy welsh!



Last but not least probably Czech glass art deco perfume bottle in PERFECT condition! 10 inches tall.

 

@johnnycb09 - Your perfume bottle was made by Imperial Glass for Irice (E106). It was part of a set of 2 bottles, a powder jar & a matching tray. The handles of the tray were the same design as the stopper.

 

Thank you ! Saved me some (probably fruitless) searching!

 

You are very welcome!!

It is shown in Imperial's Boudoir, Etcetera... by Myrna & Bob Garrison.

 

Spent AU$36 on some pretty smalls at the local collectables/antiques shop.
Seem to be in a décor mode as we approach Christmas.
Ended up with
late Victorian/Edwardian Austrian vase on a pedestal
Pair majolica coloured candle holders inscribed C+R who ever they were
late 20th Japanese crackle glaze vase with superfine gilding imitating cloisonne
(just love superfine decorated Japanese vases)
late 20th German Kaiser studsee pattern vase with birds of paradise on it
Jewelry box with fake 10 franc 1867 gold coins around the side (seemed odd so I bought it)
Not a great deal of profit there but it adds colour to my online store.
Cheers

all nice........like the candle holders !!!

 

Italy vase, yes, might be Fantucelli.

 

Two Tiffany & Co porcelain trinket boxes and a signed letter from the President(really no need to look at this twice, but it was a mere drop in the bucket). Great day

 

Okay, Davey, all I can hear in my head is Joe Cocker singing "You Can Leave Your Hat On." Fabulous finds.

When I was a kid, a well-meaning but clueless aunt gave me a book about Grace Bedell and how it was supposedly she who inspired Lincoln to grow a beard.
