You got lucky. I went to three tag sales this morning... and spent 50 cents. Got a free book on Ford Motors for a friend from another friend's...
My BiL and his first wife (deceased before he met my sister) bought one of those monstrosities in Belgium. His though is solid wood and not as...
[confused look] too many beads????

I eat almost anything not trying to crawl off the plate under its own steam. That said, I still eat Jello. I'm not fond of most shellfish, but...

I'd guess it wasn't too old when she got it. Nice opal in that!
Error. There's nothing on the other end but an error message. Now you really have me curious.
IOW it's essentially a Mary medal. :-) Or was made to hold one anyway.
It has a Russian silver mark on the back, but not an old one. Best I can do - I can make out a few city names, but that's as far as my written...
