<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnnycb09, post: 423551, member: 27&quot;]I love these threads,I guess because Ive made so many errors I dont feel alone when folks share! 2 things that always come to mind...a huge Tiffany clock and garniture set,brass and copper,that was given to me by a dear old lady when I was doing Meals on Wheels. It had a broken arm on one of the candleholders when the mantel it was on collapsed due to water damage.I took it to a repair shop and the gentleman quoted me a $500 repair price.Now I was all of 19 so $500 was like 5 million .He then offered to buy it from me for,you guessed it,$500 and I sold it to him. I was still new to the antiques game,so I didnt know that even then it was much more valuable. Second regret was a dazzling Russian enamel double ink well.Probably silver,definitely pre-revolution. Again,I didnt really know what I had . It was a different world before the internet,thats for sure![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
