No man I know would wear the bracelet. One of Nieces will probably end up with it as I still haven't got round to selling anything online.

 

Great buying, Houseful.

 

Thanks. A couple of weeks ago I found nothing in a 3 hour trawl and last weeks jumble was poor. Came away with a leather dog collar, a tennis ball chucker and a plain copper tray for the scrap pile.

 

Funny how it goes in fits and starts. I've been on a bit of a roll, if you call three cheap typewriters from three different sales a roll Now, what to do with them ...

 

Typewriter keys are a hot commodity, if all else fails. It's streaky. Last weekend I spent $11 at two days of a two-day estate sale. The prices on my usual tipple, jewelry, were so wacky I didn't take a whack at it.

 

Very pleased with what I got in today! All related to my native city; Antwerp!

Two police helmets (all ready had the one on the right).

A belt buckle, a hawker badge, and chariot taxes badges. I didn't even knew those badges ever existed...

 

WOWIE!

 

all look to be in lovely condition too !!!
Nice haul !!!

 

Thank you all!
;-)

 

Nice! Were those registry tags for carriages?

 

Thank you, yes the four smaller badges; are.

 

I would be thinking shadowbox frame. They're too interesting to hide in a drawer.

 

Nice Finds, all!

Was darn sure this wasn't Chinese, too heavy and well made. Once home, Id'd it! Murano Mandruzzato.

 

Two days later, same thrift, got this set, sold as a group for a surprisingly low amount. Esp. interesting because we've had several posted lately on the boards. They may be quite new, no idea.



Also, this guy. Looking on Ebay this maker doesn't seem to sell well, but I just thought it was so well done. He's a Bassett Hound, right?

 

That's a handfull of glass...& a mothfull of name.....but it sure is nice !!!!!!

 

how can one ever pass up Russian boxes.....they're so interesting....

& the hound....he's kinda creepy in a da face !!!

 

It's a heavy vase for its size. I was pretty sure it had to be a desireable piece, got home and started searching under "Sommerso" and found a match:
