<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lvetterli, post: 2147654, member: 130&quot;]I&#039;m not good at gambling, so I&#039;ve probably passed up a fair number of things that would&#039;ve done quite well. Several years ago at&nbsp; a garage sale in a little 1 car garage with a dirt floor I picked up some lamp shades, a flat foxtail chain marked 14k and a few pieces of glass. One was&nbsp; egg-shaped glass with a metal top shaped like a chicken&#039;s head. Pierced to be a shaker. I figured an old salt shaker and we all know how single shakers do: squat! It was kind of big for salt though and something told me it was Victorian. I had never had a piece of Victorian glass. Finally found some that looked like it,&nbsp; Mt. Washington.&nbsp; So I listed it, got blasted with offers and then a very nice man messaged me (who ended up winning the auction) who told me what it was: a rare Mt. Washington chick-head sugar shaker. I hadn&#039;t heard of those either! I spent less than$10.00 on it,&nbsp; it closed at about $1250. Paid for vacation that year,&nbsp; plus some! Oh,&nbsp; the gold chain turned out to be junk![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
