<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 4283568, member: 36"]OK. This wasn't everything. A lot of this will go locally. I was unpacking today and realized I scored not three gold bracelets, but FOUR. One was only half-glimpsed in one of those satin zipper bag thingies under the millefiori beads, but I didn't dare mention it at the time. The estate company either put it there or didn't look in the bag. </p><p><br /></p><p>Their big whoopsie though was the dessert fork in the center of the image. It was in bag with 11 or so more that are identical, and one stainless steel junky one. I think they thought they were International Silver like everything else on the table. Nope. American Sterling. About 1.5 avoirdupois POUNDS worth. And there were only maybe 12 of us lined up to get in the door. I took a while at the jewelry table picking up Chinese beads, coral, semi-precious beads with gold findings, sterling pieces etc. The bag of forks was sitting smack out in the open on the dining room table. (There was a cheese knife with a sterling handle too - got that today as throw-in!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I went into the basement and found a velvet bracelet box on the shelf. Opened it up to see a 14k mark. Snapped it shut FAST and shoved it in my bag along with two other personalized bracelets, one gold and one silver. The company totally missed them, probably because they were in with the kid stuff and a sterling baby rattle that also went into my bag. The crazy thing is everyone else missed them too!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]344042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]344043[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]344044[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
