King, nice find for a nice price!!!!!

 

YES!

 

Another recent pickup. It is McCoy.

 

Pretty. I spent $37 at an estate sale this weekend. Got a pile of "spare parts" and some stone beads. One of the spares is a Waterford heart pendant that seems to have been removed from its original hardware. No clue why someone would do that but apparently they did. $30 went to the lot with the blue lace agate and the big green rock. The green aventurine is on a nice sterling chain and the sterling and blue lace agate is on one that sticks like a limpet to magnets. I plan on giving them a divorce and remarriage. The last photo shows two colors of "candy jade" strung with milk glass. It's what I call Random Pretty Rock, dyed with colors not found in nature. Looks good though. Not shown are some sterling earrings and a cutout indian head penny. (one of the rare cases of a coin being worth more when it's been messed with)

 

I always come to the Finds Thread first, I love seeing what everyone finds. Today, I found this David Cressey Lamp on the top shelf at the GW. It is 31" to top of finial. 13" diameter at the widest point.
They sell for about $275.00 on Ebay, mine cost $8.00

Halley's Comet - it was certainly a dud on its last pass. Ever since I started to go to school, I heard teacher after teacher saying "You guys are so lucky, you'll get to see Halley's Comet." Talk about anticlimactic!

 

It was. I was quite sad about that especially after the connection made.

 

First glimpse of that course and speed calculator, I thought it was a collapsible banjo.

 

Ha!!! I have this happen too!
Especially early in the morning!!!
Like today...............

With some bizarre titles too!

 

I like the air force tie pin.....

 

I bought a large lot of assorted perfume bottles & stoppers last week. The box came on Saturday & I spent most of the day playing with all of my new toys. There were a few commercial miniatures included in the lot, which I do not collect, so those got listed last night. These are the completed bottles that I am keeping. There are also several bottles in need of a stopper & stoppers in need of a bottle that will stay with me. All but the small pink one on the bottom row were made in Czechoslovakia.



Oh & BTW, 2 of the 3 mini commercial bottles I listed last night have already sold for $64.00 more than I paid for the whole lot & are on their way back to France right now.

 

Excellent!

 

Ahhhh, the sweet smell of success !!

 

Great fun finds cxgirl and what a great score Peggy. The perfumes are very pretty.
