I live in Rock Hill, but worked and lived in Charleston for 9 months on temp assignment.

 

Agree. Any idea about the chair otherwise? Mahogany?

 

Charles Eastlake perhaps?

 

@johnnycb09 - Your milk glass piece is likely a candy dish. It appears to be part of the Charleton Line & was decorated by Abels, Wasserberg & Co.

Well, welcome to the forum!!

 

Thank you so much ! That is awesome,I bought it mainly because its so pretty !

 

I tried to figure out who made the candy dish, but was unsuccessful.

 

Johnnycb, I believe your candy dish is Westmoreland glass. I didn't see your exact piece, but if you do a search of "westmoreland hand painted milk glass" you will see quite a few similar.

 

$3.00 for a gallon bag

Appears well picked through. Found about 5 grams of gold filled.
This seal fob is not engraved. I think I got my money back.

 

That ought to do it! What's the watch with the yellow face? And check out the quartz watch too; some of the old ones are starting to inch up there. For three bucks I'd have thrown down on that too!

 

Cheap crap LCD

 

Oh well. To the scrap pile with it.

 

...& baby girl gets some pretty beads to play dress up.

 

I bought a bag of jewelry from a little thrift shop on a hunch that there was gold inside.
Indeed there was!
All the earrings total 7.25 grams of 14k.
The chain is a substantial 15.64 grams of 18k. 27 inches (68.5 cm)
It is missing the clasp, but I can fix that easily. I acid tested all of it to be sure.

 

I wanna shop where U shop !!!

 

I prefer the super junky thrift shops, where they don't know what the numbers 925 and 750 mean!

 

@808 raver should know about this.......

 

geez, I forgot about this, will have to find it and post some photos. I'm not sure what it is made of, maybe ivory. thanks for bumping this up komokwa

 

St Clair glass Sitting Bull paperweight... the only thing worth picking up in 2 thrifts today...99c.

 

Nice! I went to some tag sales today, a charity thrift, and a resale/consignment store. I have to wait for the stuff to "cool off" before photographing anything, but three of four purses I found didn't make it home - straight to consignment. Gotta love when that happens!

 

This weekends estate auction fun! Was a bit concerned seeing a bunch of reproductions up on eBay but I believe that mine is the real deal after comparing a few listings. It has a small chip on the lid but a lot of these store jars do after heavy use in their lifetimes. Never knew how collectable Planter's advertising pieces were. I guess you learn something new everyday.
