i'm starting to think the same thing buddy

 

.........Liberace ?

 

not with that electric guitar !!!!

 

Well thank god for that, i nearly had a real moment then for a while

 

Looking at that guitar, I started hearing "When Doves Cry". Prince would have been all over that look. The smoking jacket is a hair similar to the one I wore to church last Sunday. Black background, with red and metallic gold chrysanthemums. The two jackets would hang out together.

 

well, would've been perfect for prince actually............and in proportion

 

It's shiny enough too.

 

Some goodies I found over the last few weeks:

Gotta love the swap shop, got this nice Fenton blue opalescent hobnail vase in perfect shape.

1960s Indian black velvet purse with silver thread decoration from a thrift. I've had several (including one from my mother) but this is the first one I've had that has decoration on both sides.

Flea market bracelets and a Christmas Tree pin.

And 2 eboo lots, one garnet repair harvest lot and the other 12 Victorian gold filled branch coral pins.

 

Nice finds, but you forgot to mention the real prize, an antique Bulgarian Revival filigree bracelet!

 

Garnets and coral, too?

 

Marie did mention those:

 

Such a shame the filigree bracelet's not silver, but I like it anyway

 

I'd have made off with it anyway. The repop watch parts necklace too.

 

Ab fab!!!

 

Oohhh garnets!

 

Very nice everyone. Charlie that jacket would be great for Bruno Mars.

 

Many Bulgarian Revival pieces are base metal, but your bracelet is still rare enough to make it interesting to collectors. Bulgarians are also buying back good pieces.
If you lived in the EU I would have loved to buy it.

 

I was out and about, no great shakes to show, but here's a few things. Prices of sterling pieces are pretty prohibitive nowadays. I am regretting leaving a sterling cameo bracelet behind at an antique show. Oh well....it's not like I don't have them at home.
Sterling retro brooch $15

Beat up Crown Trifari $2

Sterling class ring $10

sterling and diamond ring, keeper, $25
sterling pendant $1

 

Some costume...Just loose glass beads $5

AB necklace, needs a hook clasp $1

Crackled? opaline/opalite necklace two very damaged beads for repurposing $10

Glass and brass vintage rosary $10- what are the shape of the beads called?

 

Great finds
