[QUOTE="'Nuff_Said, post: 5131, member: 181"]Thank you all. Mymy, you have some nice items there as well. Baker, I'll shot some pics in the morning. Brig, the vendor hit a MAJOR score at a storage facility. Stuff hadn't seen the light of day since the early-70s. Boxes filled with all types of high dollar antiques. You name it it was there. Tiffany, Loetz, Chinese, etc etc the works! Vendor knew nothing about antiques only that the stuff he had was old, worth some money and there was lots of it. There was a MADHOUSE of dealers an daily shoppers making piles and grabbing what they could including me. I asked him how much for my pile, he looks it over and said "how about $500". I said how about $400, he said sold! There's a vintage Eddie Bauer sleeping bag that I got as well not shown. The 2 pieces I like the best are the 18th C. George III silver beaker and the Swiss silver & enamel singing bird box. That thing has to be worth so good $$$. Only seen them on TV before, never in person. The beaker from research looks to have been once owned by John Russell, 4th Duke of Bedford. It has his coat or arms engraved on front and catalog numbered on the base.[/QUOTE]
