Haven’t found much in the chazzas lately but here’s some black plastic beads, glass beads, pink glass brooch and lucite roses brooch. Nothing cost over £1.50.

 

I have a thing for carved lucite flowers myself. The pink one almost looks German.

 

I haven't posted much in quite a while, haven't been thrifting much since Covid...been spending a lot more time on other hobbies actually, but I do lurk here and have enjoyed everyone's finds. Today I ducked into a Savers to shop for some jeans. Spotted this and snatched it up for $7. TIFFANY & CO sterling goblet/trophy from a 2018 golf tournament... 5.5 inches tall...220 grams. I hit it w a sunshine cloth, was pretty smudged up. Felt good to find some treasure again!

 

great find//////...,,,,,,
how does your savers let these get thru the net ????

 

Wowzer!

 

I've got that reverse carved brooch somewhere.

 

Could be, nothing on the back.

 

I knew I had one....

 

Went thrifting in another direction yesterday, checked out two places that aren't worth going back to, but found some costume for $2 and less. Black glass, four strands

These are those long slinky plastic beads, circa 1960s

Japan beads

$1 pin

 

wow, excellent score aaroncab, nice to see you posting again

 

I had to get produce, so I stopped at a thrift shop on the way.

Weiss

Small break at bottom of fan, easily hidden

Casket box, $5.

 

On Wednesday when I was thrifting, I looked at all the jewelry and was browsing the rest of the store. Kids clothes were on sale for 25 cents each, and a lady in line ahead of me had at least 30 of these items, so I checked out the jewelry displays again. This guy was a dollar, 14k.


I stopped in at an antique mall that has very few errors since the owner checks out everything as it comes in the door. I didn't have my loupe, but I new this wasn't plated.

Marked 14kp for karat plumb. Made my day.
The Kings pattern is USN with the fouled anchors.
This is my personal silverware pattern-my uncle who was in the Navy for 20 years gave my a set, and I add to it.

 

Sweet Weiss pin...and dang...you get the gold award this week

 

Thank you. It's getting harder to find....a lot of guys way bigger than me looking, I stay out of their way.

 

Wow! What are you going to do with them, Davey?

 

I see lots of heads of Zeus obverses & double eagle reverses. What was the original value of the coins in their words?

Emendation: Ammon-Zeus.

 

There is excellent numismatic info on the net, I'm sure you know.
