Been slim

I went 220 kilometers Thursday with many stops

One minor purchase

Friday was mostly tied up with getting a vehicle repaired

This morning I just had time for one early sale

They listed a bunch of great stuff

Got there to find out it was a relisted ad and all that stuff sold a couple weeks ago

Stopped by another along the way home

It was pouring rain and the line was still outside

Went home without stopping

About 1:00 I had a chance to go back by that one

After a couple hundred people had been through all I found was a couple $3 items

 

Greg, tiger's eye boulders? Wow, I'd think I was in a dream.

 

Terry, that ID bracelet brings back memories. Seeing the inscription makes me wonder if Rich and Peachy stayed together.

 

Thanks, Messi. I was under no illusions about age. I was thinking 60's at the absolute earliest anyway. Anything younger than me isn't old.

 

Amazing finds as usual!!!
That blue and white tea caddy is awesome! Love the Rockwood and that little enamel pot beautiful!
The brush washer with flowers looks a lot like the little vase you have listed?
Score on the gold pins and love the little blue bowl, Baker sure looks good!
My daughters in their 30's so into owls.....
Little shopping this week for me, will post a few later

 

Love the toast holder too, very unusual

 

Hi Pat,
The smallest was maybe 5 foot long and 4 ft wide. The biggest was the size of a pickup. It seems that upstream there was cliff that the water broke off pieces. The locals had picked the stream clean over the years of smaller pieces. The boulders were protected or I might have smashed one to get a smaller piece. As it was a bought a three pounder to bring home from a different area. It was expensive at the time, I think I paid 5 bucks for it. It was about 8"by 4". Joyce, a friend who was into making jewelry pestered me for months until I agreed. She did make me a really nice ring as well as paying 50 bucks for it.

Terry,
Go over the bracelet carefully. I had one in the junk drawer for years until I found a tiny sterling mark on it. It was so heavy I thought it was steel.

Doesn't it say sterling next to Peachy? Or am I seeing something else?

And hey Terry......kilometers? Where exactly are you LOL!

 

Just sterling - no maker. 42 grams.

The kilometers are on a Chinese scooter. About 250km per gallon.

 

Ah, too bad there's no mark. It's unusual enough that maybe you'll still be able to figure out who made it.

 

Hi Terry,
Sorry I did not see the photo with sterling on it. On mine it was on the fourth link from the clasp, not a place I would think to check. lol

Will this work?

 

No. Obviously I did not upload a picture.

Okay, sorry to bug you guys, but how do I upload a picture to this forum?

 

There is a button "Upload a File" at the bottom of the box where you write a message. Click on that and you can upload from your computer. Click "Full Image" for a larger version of the pic to show. You can also click Thumbnail and then others will have to click the thumbnail to see the full size.

 

If you want to attach one hosted somewhere else, use the sun mountain icon above the box

 

OMGoodness, thank you so much!!!

Anyway, found these pearls recently. 18" graduated strand of cultured peals with 14k clap, $2. 14k Akoya pearl screwback earrings, $2. 14k freshwater pierced earrings, $1. The thrill of finding treasure- PRICELESS!
