Yeah, they're garnets. :) First bakelite (hopefully) find of the season. Thanks! Yeah, the second one's a locket. There's nothing inside it, but...
Love the casket box! I definitely would have bought it just to display that card alone.
Admittedly, I haven't had the best luck lately as far as very cheap finds go. Still insanely jealous of all you folks who find hoards of silver...

Thank you! I figured it was probably glass for the price I got it at, but I couldn't tell.
Ah, ME was my initial thought. I didn't pay much for it, so even if it's base metal, I don't mind.
