Please repost the missing pics! Here's my chair from today!

 

Doesn't look like it folds, so not exactly a Savonarola chair.

 

Yeah, maybe Dante. I've been reading up on it all day!

 

Your pictures are not missing, they are on the separate thread you created about the chair.

Thanks, I was actually referring to the initial pics in this thread that were from 2014.

 

Found a Robert Kipniss lithograph from the John Szoke Gallery, 30/150. I'm guessing the back notation is for 1986, which matches the style of the destroyed gold frame it came out of. Still can't find a match to discover the title and don't really want to hassle the artist about it without more personal research ha. Unfortunately it has some light foxing at the top and what I assume is a sun boxing effect from the mat.

 

Nice piece!

 

Good find! I have done well with his works.

 

There's a Groke character in Tove Janssen's Moomin books. She brings cold with her wherever she goes.

 

I've had this several weeks. I'm still trying to figure where I can put it to sell since it's 35" tall and it will need to be in a locked case.
Sorry, hit the wrong button, picture next.

Here we go, I'm having something of a dyslexic evening.
L.E. Smith Bittersweet swung vase. I bought it for $50, selling price will be somewhere between $600 and $1000 at a house clean out.

I have been opening a few boxes that have been in my attic. I just pulled the same one out! It was wrapped in a fur coat.

 

Wow! That's quite a coincidence! Mine was in the corner of a living room and the lady who grew up there told me she and her brothers would grab it and swing it like a baseball bat at each other. Obviously they never connected.

 

maybe u two could have a sword fight..........for fun , of course...

 

At $13 this was worth it regardless of being vintage or modern. It's huge at 22" tall and 7.5" across the base. Not so much a bat as a mallet, I think.

 

Those are monsters. Definitely need to be locked up for their own protection. Someone might try to make baseball bats of them else.

 

luv the color.....

 

lol, that is too funny very glad they didn't connect

 

I haven't posted stuff here in a bit - some of the items I've picked up over the last couple of months the doll I'm going to have to start a thread on because I don't know who made her - mark on the back of her head but I can't figure it out




bag of Birks sterling knives from Value Village ($4.99), the mark on the handle was hard to see I guess. 5 Masonic sterling demitasse spoons were in a bag of souvenir spoons, also included 2 sterling souvenir spoons. The bracelets were in a bag of jewelry, only the one in front of the blades is sterling



I expected this set to be Birks also, put is by Ellis and Co ($24.99), again in Value Village. The mark is pretty clear to see, not sure what is up with the pricers there but they can keep on doing this




Some Franz porcelain with Dragonflies, bought at an estate sale for $15.00. I washed everything when I got home and now can't find the lid to the sugar bowl I've been looking for it the last 3 days and it is not anywhere that I can see. Guess I'll have to sell it as is



a Tetley tea musical canister


some Pink Sherman jewels

 

Great finds! On amother forum that I visit, they call silver "the Rodney Dangerfield of precious metals"
