<p>[QUOTE="Houseful, post: 208606, member: 1067"]In my patch in the UK there are few bargains now. We used to have a very good Charity Shop until a former Antique Dealer became manageress. Also the charities often have connections with local jewellery shops and Auction houses. That said I'll always have a look as tiny Hallmarks are often missed on modern silver photo frames, they assume they are plate. Also glassware isn't something they seem to take much interest in so Ive picked up some decent pieces. You get to know the better shops for good finds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
