Bonnie and Clyde they ain't, because that sure isn't Bonnie Parker. The Bargain Hunt guy figured out quickly that he was dealing with an...
1920s wedding photos maybe? Or engagement, since the clothes are informal. She has the proper black stockings and bound down bosoms. (never...
Looks like a really primitive sonic screwdriver! Maybe Doctor #2 will come looking for it, albeit he'll have to show up as an animation.
That's how you find the gold...or the silver! I scored a big heavy Italian silver cross necklace that way once. The lady was putting it into the...
^5 ! Around her the estate sale runners would want $75 for him.
The celadon looks like an ikebana "vase" and that export piece is carved turquoise. For about sixty quid for the pile I'd say you came out on top!
Maybe the baby in the tintype got to the cameo? (LOL)
The tape and ink look later than 1872; I think someone added this later so their grandkids would know where they came from.
I wouldn't even drink from the "safe" stuff. My sister and I put milk in some as kids. Made the milk taste nasty. Never did it again.
I'll have to try it later.
I'll have to find a way to test the back; it would scratch up the front and the back is curved. (and lifting the loo lid HURTS.) I do have some...
They're awfully warm to the touch. warmer than glass would be, and the backs of the bits aren't flat. Under 10X a lot of them look broken off....

The backs are screwed on, so better than most in regards to construction.
I'd say you scored. When I dig all I get is dirty fingers.
The rhinestone pin is new or relatively so. The pin looks like it's late 60s to mid-70s. The necklace could be early 80s but it's more 1970s.
Thanks Houseful. That's what I thought, but it never hurts to get outside confirmation. We Yanks don't see that much mourning jewelry.
I of course am the looney toon who bought them!
Around here the estate sale runners either know jewelry a little too well (or think they do) or don't know jack about marks and don't want to...
Nope, just wiggled it around a bit. It's more of a blob indoors.
