<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 173676, member: 37&quot;]Bought these silver jewelry pieces from the thrift well over a month ago and am just now getting around to showing them.&nbsp; Truth be known, they were a few layers down in my pile already and I forgot about them.&nbsp; Most appear artisan made and I haven&#039;t tested them but seem to be sterling. The enamel pin with the rams is marked S925.&nbsp; The mermaid earrings are marked with initials J.A.H. The rest are completely unmarked.&nbsp; Don&#039;t remember exactly what I paid but I am sure it was under $10.00 for the lot. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]47955[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>From the same thrift on a different day.&nbsp; Charm is marked 14K but the bracelet appears to be plate.&nbsp; Will test it to be sure but there are no marks on it.&nbsp; Bought for 50 cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]47956[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>A picker friend of mine always has a garage sale over Labor day weekend.&nbsp; Only made it the first day but she puts things out daily.&nbsp; Bought this yard long etching by Rominer Lovewell (1853-1932)&nbsp; Has some damage&nbsp; but could not pass this up for $6.00. Pencil signed with a publishing date of 1889.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]47957[/ATTACH] </p><p>This glass lamp is marked <i>Mantle Lamp Company, Chicago</i>.&nbsp; The glass appears to be opalescent but it is also painted white on the inside.&nbsp; The paint is deteriorated so I may just strip it completely.&nbsp; Bought for a $1.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]47965[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The garage sale had these 8 mini West Bend bean crocks for $5.00.&nbsp; I had seen the large crock at the thrift for $3.50 earlier in the week and it was still there when I went back after buying the minis.&nbsp; I already had the right warming plate with cord for this so was able to put this set together.&nbsp; The mini crocks are fairly hard to find so they were the impetus for doing this.&nbsp; I won&#039;t get rich with this but it is probably worth doing.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]47966[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a few other things at the garage sale and have already taken them in to the store.&nbsp; Most notable was a coral Russel Wright Steubenville American Modern pitcher for $6.00.&nbsp; It is like this one in this pic I &quot;borrowed&quot; off the internet.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]47968[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
