Are those collectible now too?

 

Chribska...I think... 4 bucks at the not so goodwill.

 

In the 1970's not many women would have carried condoms in their purse unless they were worked professionally.

 

You be the judge.

Its been a few years ago, but I sold a c.1940/50's sanitary belt that was still on the card that would have hung on the rack in the drug store & had the 2 little brass safety pins still attached.

 

Very ... interesting. That's the word. Interesting. I'm not sure how one would display those.

 

Holy Moly Peggy, thanks for that link. I am always learning stuff here.

 

I made my annual trip to a local antique store today, to raid the owner's own cabinet. This isn't all of it. The cameo in the black is mine; the other I just got today. It alas has a crack that I didn't see until I got it home. The B made me do a double-take. That's a hat pin, but that B is Brooklyn Dodgers. There are some Pacific Coast earrings, a Larimar pendant, a multi-metal birdie, a new Israeli pendant, an ID medal I need to ID, and a sterling windsor chair. I could "hear" Greg saying "grab that", not that I needed the encouragement. $100 and change later....

 

And my serendipitous St Patrick's day find...pair of Irish glass candlesticks for $5.
For some reason "guaranteed irish" makes me laugh.

 

I LOVE those !

 

Hi,
OOOOOOHoo I love the chair!!!!
greg

 

I figured as much.(LOL) It ought to be easier to move than a wood chair of similar vintage, if harder to sit on.

 

About 3 forays worth...
2 Endre Szaz Hollohaza porcelain plates,one 9 1/2 wide,the other 8



Sterling frame,Russian lacquer box,pottery sugar bowl,all $1 each.




English ceramic Midwinter jar, 5 inches high,also $1

Water color paintings by a local artist,The guy loading oranges in his trunk is my new favorite picture! The artist name is Charles Stratmann.
3 smaller ones are 10x12 inches,the orange guy is 20x25.

 

Nice! I find those frames here every so often; they're always plated. Love the box.

 

The plates and the watercolors are beautiful!

 

The earrings are Northwest Coast Haida Salmon.....
Nice B .. too !!

 

The Kerry sticks are good. That's Michael Harris: same bloke who did Mdina and Isle of Wight glass.

 

So far Ive found about 8 that were sterling. And 1 that was 800 silver. Whats funny is I never really look for them,they just find me! I tell you,Ive hit the motherlode at a Goodwill,they dont research ANYTHING.

 

great finds johnny! I love those Hollohazs plates

 

Thanks CX !Yeah,those are keepers for sure.
