<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barn Owl, post: 246421, member: 4864&quot;]I&#039;m living in Germany, and each week there are loads of flea markets. I&#039;ve wanted to get into antique collecting for a while now, and I figured, what better place to begin than here. </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is that I&#039;m a total beginner and I don&#039;t have a lot of room in my luggage, so I&#039;ve been collecting lightweight objects. Today, I purchased this lot (and an unshown West German canteen/mess kit) for 20 euros. The ring is .826 danish silver, if the hallmark is legitimate. So far, I&#039;ve identified the other objects as:</p><p>Bronze East German Pestalozzi Medal</p><p>French mother of pearl souvenir bracelet</p><p>Watch fob with 1939 Swiss coin. </p><p>Bronze Whistle</p><p>Edelweiss Pendant </p><p>West German costume jewelry Cuff Links</p><p>1890-1940s Postcards</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t been able to identify the bracelet and brooch yet. The brooch has &quot;34&quot; stamped on the back of the cabochon, but no signatures. Any ideas?</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have any suggestions on how I can put my money to good use? Would you call this a poor haul? Also, are there any threads on identifying antique jewelry or flea market finds?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
