I still only see 2, & their shadows.

 

In theory, that box suctions onto the back of your phone. In reality, the suction cups add grip, but not so much "suction" (note: I do have a non-slick case on my phone, so that's part of the problem... but not all of it).

Which I actually prefer -- there's enough friction to keep things from sliding apart, but no need to "unstick" when you're done.

I don't know what NFC is, so... there was some other "I-don't-know-what-that-is" requirement for your phone, but fortunately, there was also an app (from the android play store) to check the requirement.

Be sure to read all the info on Amazon or wherever -- there are limits to which of these work with what.

 

one on each corner.....thank you Johnny !
Who in their right mind would only put 2 feet on a 4 corner base...
whether that's even the base...or not..!

Sheeesh !!

 

Maybe Robson, there’s a William Robson in the UK that does fused art glass.

 

Very nice everyone.

I picked up a Vintage MIJ Christmas Elf knee hugger today and at another sale a pair of Vintage Kitchen Witches Salt and Pepper Shakers. The person collected shakers but most were new and not items that would sell.
Terrible estate sale runners didn't display the shakers properly for sale. Some were tossed in a big cardboard box. I found mine in a display case, so they were more protected.

 

I need to get some pictures. Today, the first four tag sales, scattered pillar to post and requiring me to get up Too Darned Early were all dry wells. One I stopped at on impulse on the way home... paydirt. Spent the only money I pulled out all day. First, a Jasper Conran Waterford bowl for a buck - need to research it. Second, Waterford earrings (who knew they made earrings?) for $2. Plus some Native American earrings and a necklace that'll probably land in the scrap pile. Plus a few mistakes, but they didn't cost much. The proceeds were going into a scholarship fund for women pursuing Phds. Spent $30.

I also found out at the 925-1000 site is MISERABLE on a tablet.

 

As usual, have not been keeping up with the thread...so just wanted to tell everyone.."ya done good"!

 

Yesterday - one of the finds.

 

@Bronwen @Aquitaine My microscope has turned flukey as heck and now I can't get it to work. In conversation with seller. Whatever happens, I'm pretty sure it's going back.

 

Looks intriguing, what is it?

 

A clue. It is about 1750 years old, possibly a little more.

 

A shard of Roman glass?

 

looks like x-mas candy...........

 

Yup! Two sherds of Roman glass, about third century. I'd bought some bits from the seller, said I collected glass and he fished out a whole box of dig finds.

 

Silver bezels here they come?

 

Indeed. I'm thinking along those lines.

 

Hello Folks,

Found this early Brush McCoy frog at an antique mall for a reasonable price so it came home with me!

 

Yesterday's stuff. Not the best shot, but it'll do. The black necklace is coral. The glass ones are opaque Czech and signed Vendome. There are two modern Native American pair of earrings, three sterling bangles and some other odds and ends. The junk and scrap aren't shown.
