<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9786978, member: 36"]You got Whitefriars (cant' get that here for love or money) but I blind-lucked into Caithness. Not worth much, but it cost about the same as a cup o'joe at my supermarket. </p><p><br /></p><p>I finally got the pix from this weekend uploaded. The purple Caithness weight isn't in the pictures, but the Glass Eye Studios egg is! Paid next to nothing. The weight of the silver is worth twice what I paid for everything. </p><p><br /></p><p>Two necklaces are a mix of freshwaters and stone. The white one dare not speak its name. Still researching the brass and tigerseye pin. The little painting is signed Tara Bell - headed to one of my cousins. The spoon pin is engraved Gertrude; that's the best part. The birdie is carved calcite. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of the costume stuff, the pretty set is marked Vogue. The necklace alas is missing its clasp, but I wanted the beads. The sparkly white pin is prong-set rhinestone and weighs a ton, but like most isn't marked. No idea whodunnit, but it's good. </p><p><br /></p><p>There's a tiny Tiffany peace sign pendant, and a bracelet made of George V and George VI threepenny pieces. Two pair of sterling cuff links, one artisan. A little sterling cross with a glass front and some other sterling bits. I threw some busted junk chain and a broken hoop earring into the scrap bin already. </p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite thing though was the geekiest of them all, and it's even sterling. It's a tie clip in the shape of a slide rule...and it slides. My late dad was an engineer who never learned to use a calculator. He said the slide rule worked better for what he did. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]484606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484607[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484608[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484609[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484610[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484611[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
