Featured Finds Thread

Ha!!!!

 

I'll give you $1200 for the car and 50 cents for the radio.(LOL) My day today, well let's just say it went. A church sale that took way too long to find (strange town, got lost) was a total bust. OTOH I found these old copper pitchers just about on my own doorstep on the way home. Knocked some mouse turds out and took a photo. I'll start a thread for them elsewhere. I don't know if they're excavated, really old, or just had the living tar beaten out of them.

 

Those copper pitchers are wonderful evelyb30
I found some goodies the last couple of weeks - Toucan bird lamp by H.T. Huang, Hudson's Bay Blanket never out of the package from October 2000, Artist Proof of Wreck Beach in Vancouver by Barb Wood, 3 pottery tiles, Chinese carving, pretty rhinestone brooch and this little watercolour, can't read the signature but I think it say 1944.

 

All nice!

 

I concur......
Wreck beach is so....Vancouver !!
Whadidya pay for the blanket >>>???

 

It was part of a bundle/jeep load of stuff I bought for $140.

 

Sweet. I could use a jeep load; today I found one book and a CD. The book is a present for someone else. Big fat hairy one.

 

Yipes!
"someone else" doesn't read this...do they?

 

Nope. Doubt he'd even know it existed. He really isn't a collector unless it's related to political history or the former Montreal Expos.

 

Went and got my teeth cleaned, and for once managed to escape without a bigger bill. (MS drugs and teeth don't mix too well) I went from there to an estate sale and found some stuff. The rosary I thought was intact sterling was sterling and broken. Oh well. It's still sterling, but some of the beads are flat out missing. On my way home I stopped in a jewelry store that was closing after about 40 years in the same location and dropped about $100 more than I did at the estate sale. 18k and enamel ring with little pink coral beads. I paid under current scrap weight by a bit.

 

Pretty ring.

 

WOW! Nice!!!!
May favorite shade of blue!!!

Anybody who needs two first names is a PRISS, Kingsie.
Except for Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Any ideas about the carving? Squirrel and berries? Not acorns... isn't that a maple leaf? What do you suppose the material is? Carnelian and matrix, or...? I really like it.

 

I've always called it RPR, i.e. random pretty rock. It looks like orange agate, but it really doesn't matter.

 

Who cares what her name is???

Beautiful ring evelyb30!
Thanks Gila, I like it too I started a thread about the squirrel and grape piece, khl889 gave me some great information on the stone.

 

Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg

 

Names are less expensive to purchase in Europe than here in the US and so...why not.
