I"d take a crack at it for the right price, and $100 is definitely the right price. The bottom drawer makes me wonder, but the pieces on the top...
I'm wearing canvas shorts. They get warm for sure, but not hot. So... jury's still out.
That top one may be fossilized dinosaur bone. I agree with Bronwyn - probably made by a crafter. The resale value won't be high.
No formaldehyde smell, if you're wondering, and it doesn't react to blacklight.
Aka craft show freshwaters. The blue stones are dyed agate.
When I used baking soda, some red rubbed off. No bakelite smell either. None of the beads seem to be alike, but they're internally flawless and...

Nice! I went to some tag sales today, a charity thrift, and a resale/consignment store. I have to wait for the stuff to "cool off" before...
Around here I use my debit card when I can - they can't see what's on my card!
Certainly a possibility. I think there's an Ely in Minnesota. Dunno about Alaska.
