<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 377584, member: 36"]On another topic, wait until I get pictures of what I found today. I went out while it was still comfortable and hit a moving sale, expecting not much. A lady went back in the house, pulled out her jewelry box and sold me most of it without me looking inside too hard. That way I didn't feel too guilty. She pulled out her wedding ring, a divorce was the reason she was moving (but the ex was right there and acting friendly enough) and some watches and gave me a price of $30 for the rest. I offered her $40 so I wouldn't feel like such a vulture, but she wouldn't take it. There's gold in that there box....</p><p><br /></p><p>The stuff I photographed is a mix of things from an antique store on Thursday and other pieces from a sale today. That funky glass pendant was one I was going to ask about. Then I saw a weird mark in one of the pictures taken from the back .... Baccarat! Whoops! No wonder I couldn't read the bitty hallmark; the French ones are notoriously small. The white pin is Miriam Haskell, and those beads are bench beads. Sterling. The price for this whole pile plus some scrap silver was $41. The antique dealer is a guy who buys sterling. Did he ever miss the boat. The Baccarat sold for at least $200 new. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]130144[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]130145[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
