Featured Finds Thread

I'm worried about crime, so I asked a friend from Texas what I needed to defend my home. He said a 9mm, a couple clips, and a box of shells. I put it together pretty quickly. Still not sure how it's suppose to work, though..

 

Lloyd, I luv ya, butttttt...
as a native Texan, I may need to take you to school!
Good one, though, seriously!

 

I need to remember to check this thread more often..just went through pages of posts...I am exhausted...

I am also very jealous...of all the good finds..I have not been out looking/buying for awhile....(there is just no place to put any more things!!!!)

 

Pretty and easy to do.

 

Could've put out a Natl Geo...and a People instead of the clips....

 

I keep forgetting...at least I think I haven't posted this.......

Yeah....I know but too bad. I hadn't a piece of Santa Kitsch as this so now I do and I like him so...

Since I've lived in Vegas I could not pass him up plus he is dang near perfect, just a mark on his boot I can fix. She, 'Lorriane', did a good job on him.

Those clock mechanisms are about two dollars on Ebay and yes, very easy.

 

I'm keeping the clock, it goes well with the ceramics I've brought back from Italy over the years. I found this website, which made me like it even more.

Cute Santa. I've only been to Vegas once and my sack was empty when I left.

 

Oh myyyy!

 

What happens in Vegas....stays in Vegas......I think that means your money too !!!

 

Last time I was in Las Vegas, Chubby Checker and Alan King were the headliners of a show we saw. I was just a kid but that gives you an idea how old I am. Oy Vey!

I may have been back there again now that I think of it (still as a kid), but it sure is a lot of years.

 

Here are some coins from WWII years. May I have some advice, please? Are they worth bothering to post on eBay? Or are they not very valuable, hence deserving a Give-Away to a good home here? If you need more/other photos, please let me know. Gracias, y'all.

Indies, 1942 - Filipinas, 1944

EDIT - Well, I was lazy... a few searches tell me they are worth a little cash... I think I'll stick 'em on eBay and see what happens! Thanks, dears!
On eBay... listed as...

Ha! Thanks!

 

KOT that is a great lamp!

 

The 20 and 50 cent have some scrap silver value

 

Thank you! I may have overpaid or the other one that someone found was luck for that buyer but I don't care.
Not seen it before and luckily beat the other buyer by 12cents. !!!

 

No one has gotten this...
Hmmmmm................. ah well

 

It would have worked better if you had said "a couple Playboys"

 

Think that would've helped?

May not have wanted to share knowledge of having those around so I gave him an out...
