Bet she was a hoot. I also bet she still had the clothes, buried somewhere!
Church sales at old churches can be goldmines. New churches too, if someone had to clean out Grandma's house and just trucked the boxes over to...
Sometimes the grandkids did the cleaning and didn't want it, but the great-grands would be all over it. Or somebody would.
Can't say I mind finding the missed gold either. It's even more fun when the person who missed it should darned well have known better since it...
If I were 25 years younger or at least a lot healthier I'd have been all over this one. Total digger sale, four floors' worth in a 19th century...

Welcome. I'm no expert on any of the above. But I'm still trying to wrap my head around a 3/4 inch diameter barrel on a single-shot pistol....
Someone took pride in their work, for sure.
Maybe the dangle from a large wind chime?
I've seen enough from @Any Jewelry to know the knife is a Keris. They're not made in the Philippines as far as I know, but it could have been...
I'm no doll expert, but they all looked new to me too. Probably why they were for sale.
The smaller sterling ones might make good steampunk earring jackets! That poor multicolored enameled one had a hard life. A pendant is a good...
Somebody French with a sense of humor made that. The spelling is correct, if fodder for dad jokes.
Separate names with a comma.
