<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 601044, member: 36"]I'd grab the clothing too, no reason not to, and would have grabbed the plate and ran. The portrait of the miner looks like it was done by a high school art class student and put in a commercial frame. Just makes it better. </p><p><br /></p><p>I went back to the last day of an estate sale today after church to see if there were any bargains. Should have known better. There was a ton of jewelry left, all overpriced which is why it was still there. Lots of other stuff too. There were only a few hours left of the sale, but they weren't willing to discount much. One ring I did get down from $30 to $8; it had no carat markings, and "the stone is..."said the dealer "...junk" said I. It had been a faux star sapphire, but it was so bashed the star was mostly gone. No idea of the stone under the coating is glass or stone. I'm going to test and hope it's white gold instead of sterling or nothing in particular.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
