<p>[QUOTE="QuincyAK10, post: 324705, member: 6159"]After 55 years of buying and selling as a hobby I am partially retired as a teacher. Now I have more time for my hobby <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. I was at a friends house helping him price up an houseful of items for an estate sale...The young estate attorney came in and said oh we have an estate of an antique dealer in which a few antique dealers came in and bought what they wanted and now we have to pay someone to cart the rest away...its right around the corner would you like to have a look? I felt I was speedy Gonzalez from the cartoon...I get there and see a shelf full of antique paperweights and another bookcase full of Steiff animals from the 60's-80's....I casually say there might be some things here I could use....I offer her $100 to take what ever is left before they pay someone...They were pleased and gave me keys to the house for the day... I filled up my car so full it was hard to drive and a friends car the same way. In knowing things were essentially free I took things I would have never normally taken a chance on... Now is my chance to expand my antique knowledge....hopefully with your help The first cat piece...Italian or Mexican? mid 20th century or something better....the second china piece export ware 1880-1920 based on paper label...any info will help my education <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />sizes...cat 8" tall, dish 8.5" across[ATTACH=full]108298[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]108299[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]108300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]108301[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]108302[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]108303[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]108304[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]108305[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]108306[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]108307[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
