Featured Finds Thread

DINGDINGDING!!! They missed that one, for sure. I've called Savers $penders for a long time. I think they've been doing just that for a long time but have just now been outed. It explains why everything I found the last time I was there was enough to make me leave with $20 in personal use merch.

Even the church sales aren't as good as they were. The one I was at tonight had all of the "good" bits in one spot, because the lady wanted to keep an eye on it. Wouldn't spread it out so buyers could see, and had it priced way too high. Not the first time this year either. I wonder how well "it's for the church" will fly.

 

Now one of my local non-profits is asking me 'If i want to make an additional contribution ?' when I make a purchase....'no thanks,i lose enough on Ebay as it is'.

 

Norsk Monster

 

Oh, but it's for the kids! I get that one a lot. If it's 50 cents, I say OK. Makes the manager happy. For some reason that place prices pearls and some silver really high, but really misses it with gold. I buy it and don't tell them.

 

The NM is for Norsk Monster, the Norwegian term for a registered or patented design.

 

Going to a craft show and antique show today. The antique show used to be great, but Covid took care of that.

 

Evely-If you can still find real gold cheap at a Thrift keep saying your prayers.

 

Hit some this week - 14k earrings set with really bad cameos. 50 cents!

 

Small Fenton Violets basket painted by Patsy Hesson. Bottom Label dated 1968-1982-85. The Fenton Worker sticker on side, which narrows the date to 1957-71. So, between 1968-71.

 

Nine carat gold ring with a cameo at a church fair. Two whole quid.

 

@Ownedbybear we wana see!!!!!

 

Antique show was fun yesterday. This Victoria GF bangle was sold as costume.

I posted this on Bronwen's cameo thread in the Jewelry forum with questions. Findings 14k.

 

Finds keep coming..... Some to show here and a couple over in furniture.

This is an art deco Glass-Bake refrigerator dish. Don't see these a lot. I have a couple of the square ones I use for counter storage in the kitchen and will put this one to use as well. Bought for $3.00.


Beau sterling pin. Could use a bit of cleaning. Bought for 75 cents.


CC Zeccin Style Murano spatter glass vase. $1.50.


6" Muncie vase. Not the most beautiful example of Muncie but who can quibble for $1.50?


On the other hand, this is a great example of early Haeger in their geranium leaf glaze. About 8". Also $1.50.


Nice Heisey oval tray. $2.50.


Bradley and Hubbard iron bookend. Too bad only one, but only $3.75.


Just for fun... This is a 3-D printed reticulated dragon. Got this as a freebie.

 

I know what you'll do with the rest, but what does one do with a 3d-printed dragon?

 

get a 3-D printed Knight......and slay it !!!

 

It sitssss on my Hoard, preciousssssssss......

 

I found this 11" Chinese vase today for $16. I believe the color is 'oxblood' and gogggle says its mark is Jingdezhen. I like it very much.

 

I heart oxblood glazes. Lovely.

 

A beautiful piece Pot,whatever it's worth.I hope for you it's one of the multi-thousand dollar ones.Either way-it's exceptional.

 

the white rim is a nice touch !
