<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 3774856, member: 210"]I hit a few antique malls yesterday, no great shakes. I regret not buying this ridiculously cute oval-shaped alligator bag with just four feet on it. Sigh. I would not use it, I have no place for it, but there is not another one like it on the internet that I saw.....maybe it will be there when I go back. Or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>NO shows here, the outdoor shows are not happening this spring, too crowded for estate sales that are also not happening. Waiting for my first dose (or only dose) of the vaccine this coming Friday at the AC mega center.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not much of interest, I did buy these two pieces, spent too much I think....$35 each, that is exorbitant for me....but I liked them. Spent two hours working on one of the links on the blue necklace because it had 50 year-old or older glue caked on it, looked like rust. Cleaned it with toothpicks and a straight pin, use Epoxy 6000 to glue the stone back in because one prong was broken off. </p><p><br /></p><p>The blue necklace may be pot metal. Stones open-backed. Seems to be connected with brass links. Chain is not original, will continue to repair with a nice vintage chain. I am entertaining the though of making earrings out of the shorter drops, leaving one longer drop in the necklace. Hmmm..... Circa 1920-1930s? </p><p><br /></p><p>The bracelet is a gold-tone base metal. Have not seen another one on the internet yet. Victorian? I will post them on the jewelry forum. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]315611[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]315612[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
