thank you for loving a walrus !!! dey r so cute !!

 

They'd be fast friends - and the tonnage of funnage just keeps going up!

 

Been a long time since I found something worthy of sharing. Imperial Japan Navy spark key.

 

Cool! I bet it would work if you could find something to hook it to.

 

Online finds: A pendant marked 9ct, mother of pearl, turquoise and pearls.

A very large silver cameo

A filigree framed cameo with little green glass chips

And the third cameo, this one signed by Mr. Schmoll

This sterling picture frame

 

Nice! I didn't buy much of note this weekend, but this vesta case has the Gorham mark inside. Need to test to see if it's plated or sterling; the case doesn't say either way. It came with a really beat-up Notre Dame 1945 class ring.

 

Here’s my Sunday picks from $avers. 3 amber necklaces, 2 Bakelite bracelets, a mastodon tusk bracelet, 4 Bakelite napkin rings, a Tiffany sterling frame, sterling baby cup, spoon and fork, 2 sterling easel back icons, a French sterling souvenir spoon, a pair of 14k earrings, a 14k swan brooch missing a stone or pearl, a 14k ivory elephant pendant and a signed sterling bolo tie, a sterling strand bracelet and a miniature basket. All for under $20.

 

except for the basket...... I'd have spent more than 20...on any ' one ' of those items.......WOW..................just WOW !!!!!

SAVERS is right !!!!............u just saved a bundle !!!!!
Good Eye Anund !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...that's some good Verkaufen !!!!

 

Your $avers is truly the goose that lays the golden eggs...very nice haul!

 

what folks donate to that store...... if it's not from burglerized homes.......is unbelievable........

 

This stuff was all in “grab bags”, there’s more that I haven’t photographed, 3 advertising letter openers from the 1920’s, an Evans lighter cigarette case and a couple other things still in the car.

 

Think the little basket is from Panama. (My brother brought some home recently from trip there.) (I hang ours on Christmas tree.)

I want to go to $avers! Where is it?

 

May we see the icons up close ? Im seriously lusting after those .

 

When I go into the closest Savers the silver is all silverplate including the stuff in the case. I've found some jewelry, but you have to get there when they're putting it out.

 

Wow, amazing finds everyone.

Kind of lucked out with this watch at an estate sale:



Then a Robert Abbey lamp:


Finally a mystery piece, will be posting under Pottery to see if anyone can help with this one. Not plaster or chalkware, some kind of clay. Just distinctive look to it, I don't think mass produced, but no signature:

 

how do you pick up a watch like that and the seller doesn't turn it over and see 18K.................. i'm baffled !!!

I pick up a gold brooch ...the seller grabs it bites it and tosses it in her purse !!!

I need to find some new venues...

 

A couple of small house calls lately netted me some sweeties...
