<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 8311653, member: 36"]Went out Saturday against my own better judgement... and did OK. Went to an estate/tag sale in an Elk's lodge at o'freezing o'clock. Snagged myself an old pair of Wiss sewing scissors, a map of a local town, and... a pile of jewelry. I have to check the 3-d stars because they look like reconstituted amber. Got a dab of scrap 14k, loose beads (not pictured) a 14k dragonfly brooch, a ladies' watch with I think Swedish writing in a German .800 case, a nickel-cased Elgin on sterling chain, and some other goodies. NO idea what the stone letter opener is. The Danish container just says Copenhagen, the kitties are wooden, and the cool rocking horse is Italian sterling.(found the marks at home) The leaf pin is costume. Likes magnets. The red/orange beads are Chinese cinnabar, or at least Chinese.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the way home, the crystal turned up in the ReStore. One of the glasses turned out to be badly cracked when I got them home, but at 3 for $1 I wasn't crying too hard. Another set of cordials was $2 for the set of five. The decanters have some chips out of the stoppers, but the stoppers are originals. They need a thread of their own because they're old enough that no one signed them. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]426716[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426718[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426721[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
