Score! That curio box is looking for lots of little pretties.

 

I want that curio cabinet!

 

I think your little S&Ps are by Weidlich Sterling Spoon Co, The owl is missing its head and wings, but I'm convinced its the right mark

I’m going to give them a light polish and look at the other bottoms. They all have the same mark but perhaps another one has it in a clearer way.

 

@BMRT - I buy those curios anytime I come across one & it is priced well. They sell extremely well on eBay.

I have 7 of them myself that hold my purse / travel perfume bottles that are small so they would get lost in a large piece of furniture. The best one is a 5 shelf one that is over 2' tall that I got as part of a group of 5 or 6 at the auction for about $30. I had to replace the piece of glass at the top which is why no one else wanted them. I ended up selling the rest of them for about 3 times what I paid.

 

have 3 of them....used for my lighter collection.....but then the love of my life...took them over for her mini perfume bottle collection.......ahh love !!
I bought them retail in the swanky part of town in the 90's...or 80's ....and must have paid $ 50 to 70 each....

 

Went to a thrift store, used book store, and then the local coin shop today. I like the coin dealer but his pricing is higher than the competition so I have to look closely to find a deal and have to pass on a lot of stuff. The thrift store's pricing is troubling too and their isn't much quality either. Just go there to be entertained at the absurd pricing of items I guess.

The Marcrest pitcher was made by Hull Pottery I believe. Not a huge score in this down market for all things pottery. Paid $3.

On the coins the Morgan Dollar was $20. Peace dollar $18 each. And the junk silver was 13x face.

 

Small find from recent estate sale, I just love vintage enamel displays. At first I thought might be by Norman Brumm, but bottom had a "Bovano" label. (Nearly as good, not complaining!) It fits perfectly in a spot in my living room.

 

I have 3, small, lovely Bovano bird wall hangings - gave them to my Aunt years ago for Xmas & inherited them when she passed away. Cheerful & sweet they are.

Love your plant!

 

Why oh why could I not resist these for 3 euros?

 

First vide grenier of the year and I buy these. It turns out, the very pretty girl who sold them bought them for her wedding and only wore them once. I would be like one of the ugly sisters if I tried to squeeze one on (an impossibility) It is really unusual for me to but something like these shoes, but they are so over the top, I loved them. She showed us a wedding photo. She wore a long white dress. You would never guess at the spikey shoes hiding underneath.I felt strangely compelled to buy them.

 

My lovely god daughter wore white embellished wellies to her very country wedding. The going away transport was a steam tractor: her husband collects them. Her father owns a fire engine.

 

My feet & legs are hurting just looking at them!!

 

You should see my feet next to them.

 

I have a Thing for evening bags. Four quid, probably 1930s.

 

I think I have a pair of shoes that will look nice with that. Only worn once.

 

Why!
cuz they're special.....& don't look cheap.....heck, I would have bought them just for the art value !!!
How ' could ' u pass them up ???

 

I WILL go to the ball. Prince Charming Will marry me!!!!

 

Those are really self defense stilettos !!!!!
