Yup. I've seen a lot of these; they were made for Pretty.
1985 looks like a good guess. This is a very modern piece, and 1985 wouldn't surprise me.
One of those made in a bucket amber simulants from North Africa?
It also got used by jewelry makers, potteries, and almost anyone who wanted to dress up a logo. The garter logo just means it's British at this...
Oops... 1960s probably, since that was the question.
Those beaded bags were made in Hong Kong, France, Japan, and a few other places. I can't even narrow down the country never mind the maker. Sorry.
I call it sterling silver tinfoil, when it comes to American "weighted" silver pieces. That means all but a tiny portion of the weight is...
Probably, but we're "that old fart who knows everything" at least as a group.
I doubt they're stone, and most certainly not carnelian.
It's not old, not even close, but I know an antique dealer who'll love it just for the colors.
These are the same kids whose parents think manual typewriters are really cool and OLD. So, no surprises really.
And then only if made after 1890. The Japanese and others might only use a paper label, and said label would part was with the item as often as not.
That amber glass one would have left with me soooo fast.
I love a good job lot! The "aventurine" glass is goldstone glass. Same beast. The butterscotch beads almost have to be bakelite. Some good old...
The clasp looks like one I've seen on modern-ish Chinese pieces, sometimes Indian. I've seen those beads before but never IDed them either.
Thanks. Thick isn't the word if they're silver. Even the bases test. From the condition of the felt they've been around a while.
Seconded. That's pretty and deserves to be set with legit chalcedony. Early-ish arts and crafts?
The style is Georgian but..daheck? The protectors scratch test like silver, but there's a bitty chipped spot that tells me they're made like...
80s right into the 90s. He started out with coral. These are shell, so I'd think later. No question of who made them.
Now that's my favorite price - free! Your lion set is Lee Sands. Way cool, and obviously sold by someone oblivious.
