I had to replace the original clasp. It still worked, but I can never re-attach those darned things. In this case it's just knot and glue. I...
What he said, unfortunately. They don't have much of a following any more, but pairs will sell. The lady originally came with a gentleman as a rule.
Seconded. If it works, keep it. If not, ladies' watches are worth their weight in scrap metal alas.
I'd also long forgotten the other two, gratefully. Now I'll go back to forgetting about all three of them, since none deserve any memory space...
Some of the good bits from that rummage sale last week. The silver and white pieces are marked Silver Mexico; my guess would be white agate...
I found a box of goodies in my mailbox this week, thanks to @Jivvy. So far I've restrung one necklace and created two more. No photo of one of...
He was a legend in his own mind at least. Even I got pink-slapped (another old Ebay boards reference) for not being willing to put up with a...
Not aurora borealis. That's a specific coating created in 1954. There were other iridescent finishes available, but not that one.
Most paints like that are actually made of copper. That's what I"d bet on.
It's made like a coaster and probably comes apart so you can wash the glass bit and polish the silver. Wine bottles drip, hence the need for a...
Alas, it's done for. Melt away.
Sabrina has transparent colored glass running through translucent (whichever). These have the translucent color running through clear glass, so...
I never argue with free silver!
It's carved and it's pretty, but unfortunately I managed to break it into four pieces. :dead::dead::dead:
Local pawn shops, jewelers etc generally buy silver. They pay under scrap of course since they have to make something on it too. I sell most of...
I bet that thing could tell some stories! Maybe not all ones we'd want to hear, but stories.
I'd only test the front on something that's either scrap precious or scrap other metal. It's not something you do to anything nice.
They used to go for a pile. Not so much any more. A quilter or other textile nut would want it, but I'm not sure who else.
I found a carved piece once that looked somewhat similar - Chinese plastic. Beyond that I haven't a clue.
Worth looking. Scrap metal adds up, especially stuff that sells by the gram!
