<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 157522, member: 210&quot;]Good luck, Lloyd!&nbsp; Yourturn, I love hankies.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see them much anymore... only antique stores, same with older linens, I still use doilies.&nbsp; Evelynb, beautiful beads!</p><p><br /></p><p>I am going to try to post bit by bit some finds... I was lamenting the lack of finds at a formerly-great flea market by me when I found this dollar table.&nbsp; I picked this up, I thought the image was spectacular.&nbsp; I figured it was silver-plated.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]42620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]42621[/ATTACH]</p><p>The front features an image of Medusa, the back features a Celtic pentagram.&nbsp; So I start to clean it up with silver polish (the back not so much), and I am thinkin&#039; &quot;hmmmmm..... this looks like sterling&quot; but I couldn&#039;t find a mark.&nbsp; On the bottom edge of the piece it is marked &quot;999 fine silver.&quot;&nbsp; I google the figures and it turns out it was made by Quicksilver Mint, and they custom make these, both sides, from molds they have.&nbsp; To make this one today would cost $80.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Then I couldn&#039;t resist this antique mall find, 800 silver, seems to be black mother of pearl, a rendering of the three graces? or an angel?, for $12:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]42624[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
