thanks Roshan yes, 14k nib.

thanks bear

thanks komokwa yes, they do kind of look like bombs. I was surprised at how heavy they are for the size of them

 

Thank you! I’ve now got them both labeled as Agate, generic Moss (The mostly green, red, clear colourway, definitely not Jade) and Dendritic (the milky and black-ish green colourway).

 

I think those bits in your pen lot are for rug hooking.

That's what I was thinking.

 

Boy has my phone been giving me fits in sending pics ! I took these pics hours ago and they JUST landed. Anyhoo...
3 inch high bottle,Im thinking Swedish?


Sterling handled serving pieces. I cant decide if i like the wood or not !


gorgeous hunk of Durand glass. Its been called a salt ,votive , etc online ,but who knows. Its pretty !


Fun little Greek statuette,4 inches high

3 1/2 inch high china cup. Obviously hobbyist but I feel like those figures are so familiar and its so sweet.

 

I think the first bottle Japanese. It looks distlefink, but I've had similar marked Japan.

Nope. Not marked Japan. I don't remember why I decided it was MIJ.

 

Couldn't pass for a buck. Korean brass. Probably '60s or 70's. Seems the '1757' was stamped on a bunch of different stuff.
Beaver with branch

Hudson Bay with backwords N

 

That jug says Hudson Bay and is engraved with a beaver. Our Canadian contingent would be all over that.

My other hoard is evening bags!

Pleated and smocked silk, 1920s ish.

 

I finally found a church sale today. No jewelry worth mentioning, but I got the silver (weighted) candlesticks! Add in some other bits from another sale and a trip to the pawn on the way home, and I paid $3 for everything I bought. Not counting a tank of gas. The clothes and purses are mostly headed to the consignment store.

 

I went to some sales and got some Culver glasses. i also found another Christmas kit to sell along with some wicker stuff. And stopped at a Church sale and got a mug to list as well.
All in all a decent day.

 

Some of my finds today. The jug and soda crate were from an auction and the Pyrex was from Goodwill. Yes I was shocked that Goodwill didn't price it sky high, it wasn't bargain priced but it was reasonably priced so I purchased it. First thing I have found in that store for over a year that I wanted and wasn't priced unreasonably high.

 

Neat Pyrex Joe.

 

I don't think this Skirk guy thought about how hard it would be to polish his $2 silverplate plate.

 

Score !

 

that's cuz servants did the polishing...................

 

Oh, that is nice! 1925-1932.

Went to a small vide grenier today. First buys for months. Bought 2 pieces of silver decorated glass signed HEM for Michel Herman a decorator in Paris in the 1930's. He may have imported glass from czchoslovakia. 30 euros the 2 pieces, well pleased. Photos to follow.A black sheepskin coat, almost new. It must have been very expensive when bought new,5 euros. Horn necklace, little canton box.
