<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RachelW, post: 9544429, member: 15376&quot;]<p style="text-align: center">I splurged a little, but I also scored majorly on silver!</p> <p style="text-align: center">Its always fun to find something the dealer missed, I got the 3 big bracelets and the oval brooch from a jewelry dealer&#039;s costume box, which is rare here. 8 euros total, all sterling except the copper one! The two bracelets are 49 grams. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">At other stalls: The ring, twisty bracelet, necklace and bracelet combo, and black pendant are all 925.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]454074[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I love this chique lady, signed L&#039;Officiel, which is apparently a magazine.</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]454081[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]454082[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Same stall had this for 50 cents, its got a little mark on it that I can&#039;t quite make out. Seems like SI something (C?), GE. Terrible photo but can&#039;t seem to get a good one. I&#039;ll try again tomorrow.</p> <p style="text-align: center">Just saw the photo up close and realized the name tags are a clue. Ric and Rac are terriers created by illustrator Pol Rab for a newspaper between 1929 and 1944. I found an exact one, but its a brooch not a pendant. Pol Rab is actually signed on the far left foot, just half rubbed off on mine. The brooch dates to the 20s, do I have an antique here?</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]454083[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]454084[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I&#039;m trying very hard to make this silver, but I can&#039;t quite do it. What tipped me off was this almost oil sheen tarnish on it, which is also on two brooches I have that are marked but gold tone/plated. I took some polish to the back of one of the legs and it cleaned right up. It looks to have a mark, but its been so messed up its impossible to read. Oddly, there seems to be some sort of foil on it, a piece came off of the pin thats silver on one side and copper colored on the inside, a bigger piece come off but I&#039;ve not found from where it came.</p> <p style="text-align: center">I found a listing that&#039;s verryyy similar, except mine doesn&#039;t have rhinestones except the eyes. Its marked Oleg Cassini 1964. Do I have a copy? Or was this a popular shape? Did the signature plaque come off?</p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.ebay.fr/itm/124241975528" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.fr/itm/124241975528" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.fr/itm/124241975528</a></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]454085[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]454087[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]454089[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]454090[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]454092[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
