[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 242004, member: 51"]Just got to the party --wish I lived next door! Agree with 20 pieces might be a bit much for one post, 10 would be better but if you have so many items, maybe 20 is the only way to go about it. I would like to see even a bit more detail, if you could take a few more photos will help with identification and thoughts. It would be immensely helpful to add photos with close up shots. Maybe after taking the group photo you could divide into 2 or 3 small groups and take additional photos with closer pictures. Even with the small shots of the back, I agree with Bdigger. #3 and 4 clearly have some kind of maker's mark. When asking about these, Melissa please include anything written on the item "Trifari", even a patent #, etc. I can possibly see something on #2 as well, but a bit far to tell. Please report back with this info: What is written on 2, 3, and 4 as well as any marks you can find on others. I think you will learn as you go along. If this is just a random sample, several are desirable pieces. The person who owned them before clearly had good taste. (Was it a family member? I missed the former post...) If #5 is indeed dragon's breath, (thanks, Tie Die) the stones will have sort of a "blue veil" making that in my opinion one of the nicer pieces. The bracelet on #14 has a safety chain, always means a bit nicer w/costume. A very good lot![/QUOTE]
