<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 4470605, member: 10944&quot;]Back visiting family where I have some of my stuff stored. Included is the never ending bag of mostly costume jewelry that I grab a few handfuls out of to inspect every time I visit. Came from an auction years ago that I filled a van up at and dropped off here without ever seeing most of it again since auction day. This bag I never even opened for years. Anyways here is some of the interesting junk I pulled out this time. A single 14k earring and four broken sterling pieces included.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would like help with a few things.</p><p>1. The two identical pointy pieces top right. They have a turning wheel at tops. Like tiny pie crimpers. I assume they are maybe drafting tools?</p><p>2.The (french ivory or real?) dreidely thing. P &amp; T with a number on most sides. What was it used for?</p><p>3. Stone fob with HTWSSTK(or R) any ideas what it stands for?</p><p>4. Please help me find out when AM Weikel was a Tobacconist in Allentown! Can’t figure it out. That’s my fav piece and strikes me as pretty old.</p><p>5. The amethyst glass necklace. Does the mark look like just “Sterling”? Where/when? American first half 20th I assume? Maybe pretty early 20th or older? </p><p><br /></p><p>In more exciting find news I bought an auction lot that included framed military related photos recently. Didn’t even realize when bidding but two of them belonged to JFK!!!! They were in the 1998 Manhattan auction of his things. They have the auction houses provenance on the back of the frames from that auction and belonged to an Uber rich manhattanite (is that a word?), woot![ATTACH=full]386929[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]386930[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]386931[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]386932[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
