<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9432982, member: 36"]Hit a few goodies last week. The Ohm'gosh pieces were unheralded in an antique store locally. The biggest vase is wood-fired pottery - Marked Catawba with a Sara Ayers mark. Whoops... It might not be horribly old and I didn't know who she was, alarm bells went off and I knew Komo would have nabbed it. $5. So was the little pin from the Chevy dealership. The original owner worked in the Service department and his daughter promised Dad to sell off his pin collection. I think one other was gold but she kept that one when I pointed out where it was from - a local dairy place. This one? 10k and diamonds - I tested those. Promised to find it a good home. I think she half knew it was gold. </p><p><br /></p><p>The rest is from a mix of charity thrifts and church sales. Pearls, some sterling and that oh my fully anatomically correct ivory German Shepherd. There's some sterling in there and a pile of owls. The blue horsie figurines don't have a mark to bless themselves with, but the owl ceramic is Peterborough Pottery. Still kicking myself for leaving a really nice ceramic goose behind. The owl vase is Kosta Boda and the other glass vase almost has to be Waterford. No siggie. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]436152[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]436153[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]436154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]436155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]436156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]436157[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
