ohhh, luv that box......!!!!!

the jug is very nice too..........is it mt...?

 

This art deco motif box is a little beaten up but was only $2.00.


This Mexican sterling and copper cuff bracelet was $1.60.


This Rhein-Preussen bottle was $3.00. There are many found on the internet with no consensus about what they really are. Often listed as Victorian, I am not so sure. Some say for wine, others for gin, and some say mineral water.


This framed Santa Fe Railroad print was $2.00. Think it is probably from a calendar.


Probably my best thrift store find in awhile.... all for $7.00. Hand done large copper repousse Tray with matching vessels (?). Not sure what the 2 are for. They are different sizes but both have the same depth (the bottom is soldered part way up from the actual bottom). Each piece is signed A.C. in Monogram form but the letters are only 3/8" high so not intended to be a monogram. I think probably by a talented amateur.




This last find is not from the thrift store. Bought from a dealer/friend for $35.00. Nicely carved art deco bust, about 12" high. Bold carved signature on the bottom, Lowry. I have not been able to attribute this but think it speaks for itself.

 

Mt??? Empty? Yes it is. Have not tried to remove the cork.

 

yup...empty......I do that sometimes when I write fast..

 

Thank you ! I was thinking sugar free,so that way they'd stay in there more than a few days !

 

LOVE the bust and the copper set. I think better than amateur myself.Fabulous !

 

This one, in the same shape, has a label and it's a Dutch gin bottle. The Rhine Province does border the Netherlands but it's Mosel wine country.

Genever, rather than gin. Absolutely typical shape.

Some Portuguese wine is sold in stoneware bottles, still.

 

Thank you. You are correct. Even says so on the label.

Nice little find today. Pair of Haeger Earth Wrap vases. Just shy of 6" tall. $2.00 each.

 

Genever bottles, old and new.

Thanks for the info on the bottle. Looks like it might have some age. Had to look up genever. Have never seen it here in the States.

 

Wow, your thrift is putting some nice things out Brad. All from the same thrift?

 

Most interesting inexpensive finds- yr finding oodles.
The miraculous thing's the humongously low (weird) prices-$1.60 bracelet

 

Different ones. Sometimes hit 2 to 4 a day, 4 or 5 days a week. Drive out of town occasionally for a change of pace.

 

sounds like yer on a mission...

 

Three recent jewellery finds. The red glass bead & metal necklace was found at a car boot sale for £1. The blue glass bead necklace was a local charity shop find at just £2. The bangle was bought from Ebay because I just loved the style and colour - now wondering if it could be Bakelite.

 

the bangle is a must have
the blue beads...luv the geometrics ..
the blood red glass.....lovely design...

nice picking Lucy.....

 

Thanks, I'm so pleased with my finds - isn't it great when things just turn up out of the blue!
