<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 4792911, member: 36"]Speaking of going cheap... Here are some lousy shots of some things I got this weekend. Turned in the scrap on the way home, so was out of pocket $25 for these and the jewelry not pictured. Most of that was broken beads, but pre-1950 beads. I had a PILE of hand-blown glass ornaments that were $20 but as I was going to pay I realized my car keys had gone missing. (false alarm - after looking all over house and grounds i found them in the wrong pocket!) A gentleman walked up and was really checking them out. Turns out his nice had broken his entire box of Christmas bulbs. I relinquished the set to him, and he paid the $20 instead - a screaming steal, but I didn't need them and he did. </p><p><br /></p><p>It was a great sale for me; I got there before they were going to open, but they'd already let one or two people in. We all knew each other, and none of them was the nasty lady from the other week. (woot!) The sale wasn't advertised too well and I think she plain missed it. Anyhoo... THe watch is Waltham; I bought it for the photo glued inside. THe back unscrews with the watch info back there. The watch fob is gold-filled. The ring was just sort of thrown in. I found it covered in LIPSTICK of all things. Cleaned it up - gotta be Navajo. The glass vase is signed; he's American, still active. Loren Chapman. The elephant is Viking - signed. I could have gotten more, but couldn't carry it. THe little elephants were bought at random; they're cute, but molded. The vases have a little damage on them but they're 1930s is cinnabar. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]413422[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413424[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
