Owned, that peacock bag is LOVELY!

 

I'm squinting at it, @Barn Owl . The watch is French, obvs. Or Swiss. The mark is something like 10M 14KT and then below it, SP in a stylised gemstone shape with what look like stylised wings either side. They're basically three lines in a triangle.

 

@SBSVC Isn't it just. I think it's 1960s ish, but they've been made in India for decades. Under four dollars.

 

Thankyou.

 

ohhh.....snag on the lighters !!!!!! me likey !!!!!

 

you don't walk by a thing like that........it's splendid... good find !!!!!!!!

 

I am blown away at the super finds everyone sees and buys here.
Thanks for sharing.
Blumz, yes that cook book seems to be quite a favorite these days with those who want to have a copy like mom had. If you find another, snap it up if you sell.
I also wanted to add for anyone who might find one, that if you find a copy with the special Sears section, it is worth more.

nice one cx,pretty conclusive to me !

just hope they dont get smashed in the post

 

yeah, i just hope her packing skills are better than her advertising skills !!

 

looking at ebay sold prices, are nowhere near link i posted, but i reckon a decent profit none the less

 

Nothing antique but a lovely little batch of vintage silver pieces, all for $24.

 

I'd guess the necklace is 1990s, if not later. Not sure of the bracelet, and the ring looks pretty recent. Still a great deal for $24.

 

Here's most of what I picked up on Friday and Saturday. Got to the Friday one later, because I wasn't even planning on going, but I saw signs and whattheheck... The Saturday sale require getting up way too early to go to a church half an hour south of here, highway time. It started at 7AM and I got there before it started. Why ... dunno.

The stuff in the lower right of the first image is silver. I didn't shoot the tiny bits of scrap gold. The purple stones are amethyst, and I'm pretty sure the bangle is bakelite.

There are two bits of silver in the second shot, a J Crew necklace, and a 1930s candy tin.

 

These two had been waiting for me when I got in from work:

And now my favorite part... the research and day-dreaming of who could have owned them, where they came from and what happened in history that they have been around for.

Y’all, I think I’m a brooch person.

 

Nice finds, guys! Loving the watch, peacock bag, and liquid silver necklace.

 

nice finds.....the blue pin is lovely....and the silver w/ diamond ...very classy.....needs a good polish..!

 

It got its polishing. I found the mark, this one is from Ostby Barton.
