Confirmed ABP on American Cut Glass site, this little 2 inch toothpick holder.

 

While I am waiting for the large batch of paperweights, I asked you all about, I found this bargain - a PP14 Perthshire Weight. It is so interesting - small, faceted and pretty. 1976 - the H cane is the year.

 

Just an update on the tumblers, I sold them last week on eboo for $540! Not bad since I paid $14 for them

I've also had Cambridge Healtherbloom, their color for neodymium color changing glass and it sold well for me. I haven't come across Heisey's Alexandrite yet, their version, but I bet it also sells well.

Something else for us all to keep our eyes open for!

 

Congrats, way to go.

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Congrats @Marie Forjan!!!!

 

Thank you everyone

Been having good luck lately, got these over the last 2 weeks:

McCoy Pinecone jard and 3 McCoy flower pots:


Set of 9 Hocking green gazelle glasses, 5 Tiffin Dolores etch juice glasses and set of 8 Minton gold encrusted etched cordials in perfect condition:


5 wire baskets, 1 with painted wooden eggs, 1 with wooden cherries, 1 with rag balls and rag wrapped spools:

 

Very nice. I had and sold some of the McCoy Planters many years ago.

 

The green basketweave one looks like the one my Mom had a plant in for years.

 

Last year I bought a collection of 54 pieces of McCoy. I am still selling them but I have been surprised how buyers love them. I love them so it’s good my buyers agree

 

My paperweight addition is very strong right now, but this 1930s Chinese weight was cheap.

 

My Mom had one in pink. I had it but I don't know what I did with it.

 

The finds keep coming. Amazingly cheap this week. Posted a few over in art as well.

Most expensive piece here was this bronze sculpture by Scott Stearman. Seems like he is fairly prolific. Most of his small works, such as this, are religious themed. $5.00.


This little sugar bowl with sterling overlay is by Heisey. Actually marked Sterling. Bought for a buck.


I am a sucker for these old glass mixing bowls and have bought many over the years. They have been reproduced and there is little value these days. Could not pass this amber one up for $1.00.


Pick up these Chinese stands when I can find better quality ones cheaply. These were $1.00 each.


This carnival glass wall pocket was also a buck. Small shallow chip on the front edge


This little McCoy pitcher was $2.00.


These paperweights were $2.00 each. The one on the right has an impressed S mark. Thought it would be easy to identify but I am not finding it. Left one has a flat polished bottom. Thought maybe Chinese. Guess I will take some more pics and post on PGP for identification.

 

Nice finds.
Brad I think yours is a Hazel Atlas bowl. I had one in green glass.
Those Chinese stands still sell pretty well.
Great finds all.

 

Paperweight was identified on PGP as Schneider.

 

The millefiori one looks odd. Someone on the other thread mentioned India, which I can well believe.

 

Charity shop.

 

A whole pound huh? However did you afford that?

 

There’s a generous U.K. state pension Christmas £10 bonus coming!
I felt it was a nice little reward as called in only because I was dropping some cat food off to the nearby Wildlife/charity shop for the hedgehogs (they took one in I found a little while ago). They already had another small one dropped off that morning, too small to come through hibernation without help.

 

I spent USD$5 in a charity shop today on some Christmas ornaments, an olive wood statue (tourist tat but worth more than the pennies I spent) and a bracelet made of wire and givre beads. I'll have to get a snap of the bracelet at some point.
