A gourd vase from a few weeks ago, signature and all. The painting was a freebie. Nothing crazy, sofa table art, but hey... dated 1966 and free....
Not a problem. I bet even a "disciple of Chihuly" piece is worth a small fortune. Went to an estate sale this morning instead of getting enough...
That one was Mom's, sounds like. I always want to pound heads when I find someone's medals in the for-sale pile. Keep it safe somewhere and make...
You get the weirdly valuable my mom would look at me crosseyed if I brought that home ... find of the week badge! Then again it doesn't take much.
Welcome! For us to figure out the trunk we'll need to see the whole thing. If you're on a phone, email the pictures to yourself, size medium....
Good idea! I'd open the zipper on one of the cushions and look on the inside. With any luck they used part of the selvedge. That's where...
Better that than Alfred Dunner for me too. Just bought myself a t-shirt with a skeleton riding a surfboard. Not precisely my style, probably...
Might be. Or a citrine. Or a piece of other quartz. If it's real gold or gold-filled, then you worry about the stone.
Bingo! Dunno where you found that, Stracci, but bingo.
Check that 5th one, ie the chain, down for gold content. I had one that looked/felt like JUNK. It was rough. Checked it anyway and ...10k....
Yay! Necklace: necklaced!

Same here, at least in front of customers! They allow a local "volunteer" to enter the store before it opens, even though he doesn't volunteer in...
Hate to say it, but Chico's is one of my cuss words, along with Alfred Dunner in clothes. (one look at the "fashions" perpetrated by the latter...
I rather like the bracelet. Love how some "I'm a jewelry expert" types can't find the gold mark or silver marks right under their noses!
That's definitely writing. I can't blow the original up but that's writing. That Sevres plate is a Bavarian blank (sold white) that was...
It looks like 50s or 60s costume; the foldover clasp is a dead giveaway provided it's original. Never seen one exactly like it.
My tassel pin, the one I hope is Vauxhall, and a sterling and pearl heart I put together. Had the heart for ages and FINALLY got the right...
A blithering idiot? I realized I had one in my pile not long ago. Good thing I found something in the hoard, since finds in the wild have been...
I was in the local ReStore today and one guy brought over two boxes of probable silverplate. Or was it sterling? Probably not, but there might...
