Featured Finds Thread

Went to 3 places, not such a monster lute; but very pleased with the boxed top hat and the plane!

 

I once got asked if I knew the whereabouts of a lost mezuzah when I hadn't even heard the word before & was completely clueless. Not wanting to betray my ignorance, I asked what a mom would: where did you last have it? When she said she had taken it off & put it on the piano in the college ballet class we both took, I at least knew she meant the large, beautiful gold pendant she always wore & surmised from the word that it had religious significance. Sadly, had to answer I had not seen it since either.

 

When you sell that Death, make sure you use Grim Reaper and terry Pratchett as keywords.

 

I have NEVER seen ANYTHING like that at our Savers!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD on You!!! But the Rim Greaper I could live without

 

The JU-87 Stuka is very nice !!!!
I'll have to get one of my Spitfires to chase it !!!

 

He is going to join my other planes and might very well be chased by one of them....;-)

 

What was the plane made for originally? It looks like the top of a weather vane. The Chantal pot looks great too. It's giving me ideas....

 

Don't know what the plane was made for, there is like a missing part to it at the bottom.

 

Was browsing through an antique mall and knew I needed this when I saw it. It is Brush McCoy.

 

Ha ! Love the frog !
A few finds...
3 inch high sterling funnel


3x6 Murano bowl


3x3 glass box,I like the color


6x9 copper frame,very deco!

Stunning pitcher Im going to start a thread on

I also started a thread on a large english spoon>With the exception of the pitcher,wich was $5,the rest of these cost $1 each. I have found a new picking place,chock full,hotter than 400 hells,dusty as Tut's tomb,but Im going to ride it while it lasts!

 

Nice finds, johnny!

Your sterling funnel was made by Blackington.

Looks like it probably was a weather vane. This one isn't the same, but it's the same idea https://www.pinterest.ie/pin/38069559326648552/

 

I don't think so..
I think it screwed into a marble or metal base....like a pen holder,.

 

There doesn't appear to be much if any weathering on the copper, so you're probably right.

 

I like when It’s made this easy.
Duchesse de Rohan.


Duchesse de Parme.

 

Figured out the D-sse de Parme was done by Rodier but haven’t cracked the other two yet nor the sitter of the male.

 

I bought some pretty little eye candy at the auction this week & I just had to share them with all of you.

The first is a hand painted T&V Limoges heavy gold encrusted 17 piece tea set.



What are the little dots called on Limoges? Are they also called Moriage?

The next is a lot of assorted cordials & sherry stems. I am going to need help with several for the maker & patterns.



The last one is not eye candy as much as something I am going to be able to sell for much more than I paid for them, BAPS Little Black Sambo dolls. I also got a Wolf from the 3 Little Pigs & a Rumpelstiltskin.

 

You did good, Peggy!
