Thanks!
Love the bookends and the glasses!

Lucille, I love the bookends, too!

 

Nice bookends Luci.....I think the glasses are possibly shooters target gear.

 

Sure looks like. They're sold for night driving too - the lenses are polarized to cut glare.

 

Speaking of having to get up too early...the pin is missing a stone, but it's 10k and the other stones are real. The cross isn't tested yet, but I'm betting it's gold too. It looks Turkish or maybe Israeli and definitely hand made. And old. The cross is only a bit over an inch long.

Marked "solid silver" on the clip end of the watch chain. I'm not sure whether it's sterling or something else.

 

Bingo, Skeezix! Definitely muddlers. That keyword is probably the difference between them selling and not selling. Thanks!

 

My haul for the day

 

I'll bite. What is it, Terry?

 

Pen/Pencil clip?

 

Just a pen clip

PAT 2-8-10

Only took about an hour to trace it to Levi Van Valkenberg's patent

 

Nice stuff!

 

Here is a good day at the office;

 

What's the document with the seal?

 

Hey moreotherstuff, that document is dated 1966 and some sort of award of a
vine grower to a ..."customer (?)"

Evelyn, the cross looks like the real deal to me, including the emeralds!

I hit two very good estate sales this week, but something is wrong, I think I need a new mouse, will have to show when this is all fixed.

This is the couch I bought at the 50% off day at an estate sale on the way to Cape May a few weeks ago. It was love at first sight. It is carved oak, over 7 feet long, they originally wanted $600, got it for $300. I absolutely love it..... looking for a tall ottoman to rest my feet. This replaced $2,500 worth of defective junk new furniture. Since my mouse is a tad off, the colors are a tad off.

 

One more post until I get my computer/mouse fixed. Estate sale find Thursday. There was a note in the box that this brooch was purchased on the couple's honeymoon in the 1930s. Original box.

 

Love the couch Marko!

 

Marko, the butterfly is beautiful.

 

Hi Marko,
I stayed at the Hotel Taft when I went to the Worlds Fair in 1964.
Next to the couch is that a blue glass table?
