My, my, you are blessed! Baccarat for $6.00 and a bouncing stopper! Or maybe the asphalt was so hot it was soft? Nice find!

Thanks for sharing, it's a name I haven't heard of before, but will defo look out for in the future judging by the prices I'm looking at !

 

And here I thought I did well to score a Kosta Boda apple paperweight today for $4. Yowza.

 

The mark is a very small acid etch, like this one.

 

oh geez anund, I bet your heart skipped a few beats as you watched it fall, so glad it is okay

 

brilliant thanks, i was wondering if they were marked

glass decanters are things i see everywhere and never pay them any attention

my interest just changed !!

 

I picked up a kluk kluk decanter with a silver rim in a charity shop for eight quid.

It was an Asprey one.

 

No Baccarat for me, unfortunately. Great score and save on the stopper. Of course, if I found Baccarat it would be made in China. I did find this unusual pendant in a thrift shop yesterday. It is marked 14k GF on the bale.



And I think this may be a $3 Doug Wylie mug.

 

More thrift shop stuff, West Germany plastic set


Probably Japan pink plastic set

Green metal enamel set

Some earrings, ones with feathers are amethyst and sterling, other sterling are chimeras, HTF

 

nice finds Marko, I love the colours on the mug

 

Thank you!

 

Those sunfaces scream 1980s. I bet the green set is Coro.

 

Yes, they do. I liked the artistic look of them.

 

Marko, you might check WILD BRYDE for those cut-out bird earrings:

 

I visited an antique mall that moved and set up in a modern building. There was a huge lot of keys in an old box, and I picked these out because I thought they would make nice steampunk jewelry pieces one day. I thought the prices were very reasonable for these because they were beautiful..... 5 keys for $4 or a dollar a piece. I had fun googling them, and I found most, but not the Silent Watchman. I bought 4 of them, you can see the design on the front and back. What time period would these date to? I am posting the Silent Watchman on the Antiques Discussion thread by itself.
The lot:

The ornate Ilco, Independent, and Corbin

Norwalk and Ilco

Silent Watchman, front and back views

 

Yup, marked WB. Thank you!

 

Bakers ,I think that Fire King Jadite piece is the charm pattern. They were not marked as far as I know.
Sorry if this has already be said somewhere on this thread but I am just catching up.

Here is one on etsy to look at

Wow so many great items you all found. Lots of jools and other cool items.

 

Yes, Pearls! I had already found listings that called it Charm before posting and as usual got confirmation from the community quickly! But it always helps to get more evidence!

 

I found a box of goodies in my mailbox this week, thanks to @Jivvy. So far I've restrung one necklace and created two more. No photo of one of them, it's not that spectacular, but here's the first two. One is a restring of old bone beads onto silk rattail. The other is bracelet bits that were never made into anything. They're now a collar.
