Very true on both counts it does have to happen! I also hate it when I find a cool piece that’s been scratched. Found a 600+g sterling serving...
So crazy! Again curious what part of the country are you in? I feel they are trained really strongly to look at everything that even looks silver...
For sure! It’s not even the first section I check anymore. I just get to it in the natural order of the aisles now. What region of the country are...
What do I have here? Assumed it was for measuring lamp oil or something similar when I bought it but I have no idea if that’s right. Signed P over...
Holy shart!!! I’ve found bowls and pitchers with sterling bases. Ashtrays with sterling rims. Never any solid sterling and I look a lot. You can...

This is true. For some reason I thought they were kind of interchangeable but I guess not. I would have probably mentioned that were I not falling...
So are you saying that this appears to be made with natural pigments and thus older? Or the opposite. They appear natural to me but I could be...
This is my new buddy. He’s in tough shape as he has lost many of his shells. Still looks great and slightly scary. 60’s or earlier probably. Papau...
Picked these up for a buck a piece yesterday. Assuming nothing but since they are dated 1909 I figured they were worth a shot. Would you call them...

I would imagine so. Definitely too inexpensive for one as old as he claims. Which is why it grabbed my attention initially. Thought it could be a...
Lol. Oversized parrot!!!! I don’t think I will be buying it. More wanted to confirm my instinct that it didn’t look right. He just replied to me...
