<p>[QUOTE="Belladawnas, post: 9618072, member: 84447"]Hi everyone. I started selling vintage and antiques on EBay in 2000 and I still miss the early vintage and antique boards we had in those early days. When they erased so much of the information and resources there it was heart breaking. I learned so much and I still have good friends I met through those boards. Life has taken some unexpected twists. Tuesday, I’m having major spine surgery to repair crushed vertebrae, and to biopsy it to see if it is indeed a metastatic cancer focal point which caused it to crumble. I have an 11 yr old daughter and my son is in college working towards a history PhD. We all love history so much. While I stopped actively selling years ago and just sell sporadically, now is “that time” where I need to let some of my favorite pieces find their next caretakers. Now a disabled single mom with looming medical bills, there is no more debating or putting it off. I will be asking for information and help so I apologize in advance. I have a few fun pieces though. One cool piece a vintage signed Frederick Mosell production mold for a large necklace, big pendant and big chain in a very unique design as often his pieces were. A ruffled brooch I think could be unsigned Schreiner, Miriam Haskell prism earrings, Boucher fur clip, Weiss, some fun pieces I’ll need help with as a I’m definitely a bit out of the loupe (ha ha.) Until they stabilize my vertebrae Tuesday with cement and it has a bit of time to heal, I can’t sit up or walk, so I will take photos once I’m through this next little hurdle. Baby steps and checking off goals one at a time! And, I’ll get to enjoy the pieces again taking them out to look and photograph instead of them just collecting dust in a drawer. There’s always a blessing if you look for it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
