Thank you! Brilliant. Once you shared it, I look, and its like, oh yeah, that is what it says....lol Well, hopefully it doesn't cost me a pretty...
This item is part of a lot, and frankly, is the only thing of interest aside from some what look like faux amber. Regardless, I cannot figure out...
Wow! Thank you to everyone for all of your help on this! What a bunch of great info and input! I really do appreciate all of your help and time to...
My brother in law was in town for Memorial weekend so we went up to the local flea market event. I am not big on the one up here as its heavily...
