I was in the same room with a lit doobie once. Couldn't get out of there quickly enough. :cigar::cigar::cigar::cigar: I"m more your double...
When gambling on gold chains, I max out at about $10.:p
True. If the chains are older, you're gambling. Of course, some WWI gold over brass jewelery is worth a good bit on its own.
That's been known, or a real clasp attached to a fake chain. That's been done too. I bought one this week that's 10k and genuine where I looked...
Milor jewelry. Anything with their mark on it pretty well has to be real. They're an Italian company who now make a pile for sale on TV shopping...
I'd be leery of more recent 14k marks, but an old school 9 Ct mark is far more likely to be legit. Lots of fake 14k came out of China 30 years...

Jackpot! Nice one!
I've seen them sell one here and one there. I've bought two over the years, mainly to say I'd done it - paid $2 all in. They are starting to move...
I think Kennedy was the last of them. His inauguration was the funeral of the top hat. He's wearing a morning coat/informal tux in that shot....
The back clip is way too long for a shoe clip. By a factor of four or so. Dress clips came in all shapes and sizes.
That was the time of the dress clips. They disappeared when WWII started, so 30s is a safe bet.
Still waiting for a glassie. The pontil mark looks too rough for one of the fancier glass houses.
Hoooey. That was giving it away!
Once upon a time, longevity and loyalty paid off. Now it's generally a sucker bet unless you own the business or a chunk thereof.
By the time my dad retired in the 90s, 20 years was a good trick. He was an engineer, and your term of employment often only lasted as long as a...
