Just some little things, I have a ton of mostly newer costume jewelry to go through.
The little frog was $1.

Nautilus earrings $2

96 inch freshwater pearl necklace $8

 

Got 30 70s and 80s albums for a buck each, many almost new!

 

the cover art was very hot at one time....... any kickers ???

 

Steppenwolf, Three Dog Night, The Cars, a bunch of greats!



In other news, I "slipped" a little today.. went into GW today looking for Pokemon stuff to flip at our yard sale. I see bags of toys with tags still on them for $5 and $7 a bag. I see Pokemon toys in them. I take 2 bags to the register and the guy says "nice grabs, those came in from GameStop yesterday, they donated them all. Brand new."

I brought the 2 bags home and told my wife I better go back. I went back and bought every remaining bag!!

 

Some of the album sleeves:

The TDN album has an actual medical folder in it!

 

Steppenwolf was my first concert, age 13, Wildwood Convention Hall. If my father knew what it was like, he would have locked me in the house.

 

This is the Steppenwolf album

 

Oddly, modern metal fans have a rep for surprisingly good behavior.

 

This was in my stack of resell stuff. Dated 1952!

Also, found a letter with Dwight Eisenhower's signature. Will upload for you guys to verify!

 

I recently went to a metalcore concert, everyone was so lovely. We stood with the main crowd and then sat with some other oldies with sticks and a few people in wheelchairs for a while, it was a great night.
The following week I went to the Opera!

 

My wife and I hosted some of her cousins from California a couple of weeks ago, and they were looking for things to see in Alabama. I'm neither a sports fan nor a motor-head, but...
The Barber Vintage Motor Sports Museum is one of the best museums I've visited.

I wonder if they'd be interested in your NASCAR permit?

 

Saw this today but didn't buy it:

It's called Hunger but I couldn't make out the artist.

Rauenstein salts?




Mini pill box


7-in-1 ring

Clearer pic of the silver mark

Still no idea who the maker is ... (@Any Jewelry @silvermakersmarks @DragonflyWink)
Not sure if the 1st letter is a C or a G, and not sure if the 2nd letter is a B/H/K or R.
Last part seems to be a Zn (= Zoon = Son)

 

Or the Belgian one. It looks a bit chunky for the Dutch sword. A good clean will tell us more.

The shape is not the usual shape modern Dutch maker's marks have, but let's find out if it is Belgian first. Belgian maker's marks can be any shape.
Is there a 7 at the end, where you have cut the photo?

 

I forgot that they also have one...

Do you mean this little thingy, that I thought to be a scratch?
