<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 2237577, member: 210"]I haven't posted because we have nothing going on in NJ. We are just starting phase 2 of reopening. I did go to an appointment only estate sale yesterday (another Twilight Zone experience. The lady said the sale started yesterday, but no, she let people in all weekend, so the jewelry in the pictures I wanted was long gone (but I wouldn't know that until I got there). She wouldn't tell me what was sold or available over the phone. She wouldn't give me prices over the phone. So I drove approximately 80 minutes up the parkway because I was bored. </p><p><br /></p><p>She was a talker and followed me everywhere, not caring to social distance. I kept trying to get away from her. She tried to sell me everything. We both were masked up, and she told me she was deathly afraid of falling ill. Anyway, I found a couple of $5 trinkets, and was ready to leave, but I saw clumps of bead necklaces hanging from a hutch, so I took them down and went through them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will show you what I got. I did get some linens (need to photograph) and some glass beads. modern, not worth showing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fishing lure pendant was $6. I really love it because my dad loved fishing. I went to research it, I saw two others on the internet, one on ebay sold. The findings appear to be soldered such, and I need to test the metal content. The one on ebay was 14k. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]255693[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>All the beads were $5 a strand. Even though this is broken, I made it into a lariat necklace.
