<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FunkeysFinds, post: 270727, member: 83&quot;]Hello gang!&nbsp; Have been gone on vacation for a week or so.&nbsp; Snuck in a little pickin&#039; while out and today had an extra day off before starting to work again.&nbsp; There are so many great historical towns within 50-miles or less here.&nbsp;&nbsp; I apologize for my long winded post, but I have a lot to make-up for!</p><p><br /></p><p>Some treasures I found last week include antique Royal Doulton dinner plates (gorgeous!), Minton plates, a neat, rare vintage restaurant platter for a defunct Coffee Company, a Shelley Toothpick and a Reuge Music Box.&nbsp; Also some pretty/fun marked sterling/jeweled earrings I&#039;m having a terrible time figuring out the mark on, so expect to see those in the right forum. </p><p><br /></p><p>These are my most favorite finds today.&nbsp; A few things I left behind, which I probably shouldn&#039;t have, but I&#039;ll be back in this area again 1-2 times each month for sure and there 2 stores at least I never stopped at. </p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t been able to figure out the maker on this BEAUTIFUL set.&nbsp; It had no price on it, in a favorite hidden store of mine.&nbsp; I thought it might be for display only.&nbsp; She said how about $20.00 and make that half off today!&#039;&nbsp; I said.. are you sure, that is a very fair price.&nbsp; &#039;Yessir!&#039;&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t find the pattern in my Pressed Glass book and will start a post soon.&nbsp; I think someone treasured this and kept it near perfect forever.&nbsp;&nbsp; It makes me sad it didn&#039;t stay in the family (I have an entire scenerio in my head).&nbsp; I have removed the tape so there is no wear to the gold.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/IMG_20170822_165836.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/IMG_20170822_170320.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>This small or smaller coffee pot by Myott in the Flamingo pattern seems to be an unusual piece.&nbsp; No record of it that I can find via a quick search. </p><p><br /></p><p>The vintage Pyrex Gravy and Underplate (two pieces) are early Made In England pieces.&nbsp; I need to do more research.&nbsp;&nbsp; Both pieces on sale, $11.00 for both.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/IMG_20170822_170209.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Not really sure about the lovely white bottle yet.&nbsp; Possibly Bristol (or not).&nbsp; Possibly a tonic bottle (or not).&nbsp; On sale at a different store for $1.00. </p><p><br /></p><p>The antique sugar shaker is more &#039;ba-bam&#039; in person and I am possibly thinking (but doubt it) of keeping it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Haven&#039;t tried to ID the purple and gold sugar yet. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/IMG_20170822_171047.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>This vintage art lithographic rendering by John Richard Rowe of 42nd Street in New York is a great find.&nbsp; Wonderfully matted and ready to go:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/IMG_20170822_170430.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>And this one sheet - early calender for TWA is also nice.&nbsp; It has some fading and water damage, but still a nice example.&nbsp; It seems the pieces from the 1930&#039;s and earlier are desirable and those in poster form like this do well.&nbsp; We will see what happens:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/IMG_20170822_170444.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, not this weekend, but next we will be heading out to pick-up our two new doggie girls.&nbsp; I spent some time searching for sisters or good friends and was unable to find a good match for us locally.&nbsp; I have found an amazing match for us and us for them.&nbsp; Two beautiful girls, who became BFF&#039;s in foster care and this home specifically asked they be adopted together if possible due to their already bond.&nbsp; Housetrained, well behaved, with both needing some TLC - just like our baby girl did.&nbsp; I&#039;ll share pictures after they are in their new home.&nbsp;&nbsp; The kicker, we travel BACK to our old home State to get them.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Have a good night.&nbsp; Off to make dinner![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
