    My, my, you are blessed! Baccarat for $6.00 and a bouncing stopper! Or maybe the asphalt was so hot it was soft? Nice find!

    And here I thought I did well to score a Kosta Boda apple paperweight today for $4. Yowza.

    The mark is a very small acid etch, like this one.

    I picked up a kluk kluk decanter with a silver rim in a charity shop for eight quid.

    It was an Asprey one. ;)

    No Baccarat for me, unfortunately. Great score and save on the stopper. Of course, if I found Baccarat it would be made in China. I did find this unusual pendant in a thrift shop yesterday. It is marked 14k GF on the bale.

    And I think this may be a $3 Doug Wylie mug.

    Those sunfaces scream 1980s. I bet the green set is Coro.

    I visited an antique mall that moved and set up in a modern building. There was a huge lot of keys in an old box, and I picked these out because I thought they would make nice steampunk jewelry pieces one day. I thought the prices were very reasonable for these because they were beautiful..... 5 keys for $4 or a dollar a piece. I had fun googling them, and I found most, but not the Silent Watchman. I bought 4 of them, you can see the design on the front and back. What time period would these date to? I am posting the Silent Watchman on the Antiques Discussion thread by itself.
    The lot:

    Yes, Pearls! I had already found listings that called it Charm before posting and as usual got confirmation from the community quickly! But it always helps to get more evidence! :)

    I found a box of goodies in my mailbox this week, thanks to @Jivvy. So far I've restrung one necklace and created two more. No photo of one of them, it's not that spectacular, but here's the first two. One is a restring of old bone beads onto silk rattail. The other is bracelet bits that were never made into anything. They're now a collar.
