Wow, 'Nuff_said. I simply cannot imagine going to a flea market and finding this much in one seller's booth, let alone at the price they quoted you -- $30 each? Not all of them are that esoteric, after all. Where do I need to move?

 

I found a little dab of stuff
I love the aventurine ? earrings pretty little silver bracelets jewelry Kohler etc
just littles

 

WOW, treasures for sure. I will gladly take the 17th/18th C. Chinese famille verte biscuit stand too.

 

I would love to see closer pics of the washer/inkwell.

 

I'd take one too!
Not something I would normally buy but 5.00
a little wear

 

Is that a windup birdie, Sharonna?

 

Is that a miniture chandelier ?

 

Very nice chandelier, Sharona. Great that the everything is there. Great buyh! Look for maker inside the frame ... probably a Chicago one. Love the fleur de lis and the colors.

 

No, it's a full size. Check completeds under Art Deco polychrome chandelier. Probably spelter under the paint.

 

yes but I didnt get a key

 

sure I have one here somewhere

 

Sorry Shiloh yes its full size

 

Mymy, are the malachite earrings clip or post? I'm looking for some malachite earrings to go with my malachite necklace...post ones, not clip, though.

 

Wow I'm glad I drug it home LOL

 

and thank you I will look for a maker

 

Yes, a lot of their jewelry has thunderbirds, eagles, etc. This particular bracelet looks quite a bit different from their "usual" stuff, and I don't know why. It looks more like the northwest coast type of design as moreotherstuff pointed out.

 

The only thing around here at flea markets are hand-me-down aeropostales, beanie babies, & console TV's!

Though I venture to guess that I might do a little better if I headed down to Philly one of these days.

Nice finds 'Nuff_said!

 

Thank you all.

Mymy, you have some nice items there as well.

Baker, I'll shot some pics in the morning.

Brig, the vendor hit a MAJOR score at a storage facility. Stuff hadn't seen the light of day since the early-70s. Boxes filled with all types of high dollar antiques. You name it it was there. Tiffany, Loetz, Chinese, etc etc the works! Vendor knew nothing about antiques only that the stuff he had was old, worth some money and there was lots of it. There was a MADHOUSE of dealers an daily shoppers making piles and grabbing what they could including me. I asked him how much for my pile, he looks it over and said "how about $500". I said how about $400, he said sold! There's a vintage Eddie Bauer sleeping bag that I got as well not shown.

The 2 pieces I like the best are the 18th C. George III silver beaker and the Swiss silver & enamel singing bird box. That thing has to be worth so good $$$. Only seen them on TV before, never in person. The beaker from research looks to have been once owned by John Russell, 4th Duke of Bedford. It has his coat or arms engraved on front and catalog numbered on the base.
