    Wow!:jawdrop:
    It is stunning, kyra, you lucky girl! I have been bidding on heidao bracelets for some time, but I am always outbid.:( Heidao is the term for those carved peach stones, walnuts, etc.
    Although the number of beads is unusual for a Buddhist mala, the composition, with the guru bead, looks like it. The two Buddha's hand fruit (finger citron) dangles also indicate a Buddhist connection.

    :kiss: AJ!
    On the scent bottle, I was the only bidder! The luck was to be the only one who knew it was gold, and knew the spring operated stopper (when pushing the button, the lid pop open!)
    For the heidao bracelet, even not had to bid... it was a BIN:joyful: from a seller who already sold me a (tiny) gold diamond chips and pearl stick pin for... 8€:facepalm:
    I'll post detailed pics of the beads carvings once in hand.
    Of course, impossible to find ANY other heidao mala bracelets images for now...:banghead:

    The carving on the beads is spectacular and I LOVE the scent bottle, two GREAT buys !! I have learned so much on this Antiquers Board that I have been able to show off somewhat as I impart my learned knowledge to my two sisters, showing off is not a good trait but gosh it feels good :):):). Anyway, VERY nice items !!!.. Joy. :):):)

    Thanks! :kiss:
    Joy! You certainly not "show off", only showing your gained knowledge!;):joyful:
    The scent bottle is very tactile, I love the weight and shape in hand:)

    I bought a 20 drawer coin cabinet for myself, it needs a little restoration but that should not be a problem.
    I drive to Liverpool tomorrow to pick it up.

    DSCF2151.JPG DSCF2152.JPG People have been finding the Stuff lately! That perfume bottle belonged to someone with both title and money, doubtless. You have to wonder who she was. No idea how old Davey's cabinet is, but she'll get the job done and hold a lamp into the bargain.

    Dare I hope this is what I thought it was when I saw the pictures? Am I Czech or ... Vauxhall? I couldn't see the back when I bought it.

    That's an amazing cabinet Davey. Can we see it after you've cleaned it up please?

    Ruth - what a beautiful brooch!

    I am just catching up here with the lovely finds. Will come back later to see the rest.
    Ikea Swedish Meatballs. oh my talk about heaven on a plate.

    I have one of those caged birds thingy that sings and moves. It was my parents.
    I don't think it is from Germany, I would have to check the base. They get so dusty.

    Anywho very nice finds all.

    Komo love the perpetual calendar. I sold a few I found last summer. People seem to buy them and pay good money.

    @daveydempsey - How big is the one you have versus the one you just bought. I had never heard of or seen something like those cabinets. Very cool!!

    I do understand why you had to buy another one since you hauled off how many pounds from one of the last clean outs??? :jawdrop::jawdrop::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::D:D:D

    The one I have is a 32 drawer and measures 36" high, 40" wide, 15" deep.
    The one I'm collecting today is half that size but the same depth.

    Beautiful things, love the bracelet, perfume bottle, and clue brooch. The coin cabinets are really cool- I never saw one before.

    Picked up these today. I thought they were very pretty. Enamel and very low grade silver. Any idea of which country they would have come from please or if vintage or modern?Ring at the top but also a hole at the bottom. Quite big at 1.5 inches across.
    Thanks :)
