<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Snowman Cometh, post: 13139284, member: 83302&quot;]We have our set schedule for the week. There&#039;s a town we pass that I always want to stop at. 25 or 30 years ago (long before we lived in PA) I saw a painted moon and cow clock that I loved. Surprisingly that year my wife bought me nothing for Christmas. But, out of that exact place she bragged about buying her brother a piece that he loved. I eventually found one like it in an antique store and bought it for myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since we were through everything early today, I thought we&#039;d go to that shop and see if they had anything. It didn&#039;t. But, when we pulled into town, an antique (junk) place had a going out of business sign. A lot of their garbage was thrown on the front lawn. I picked up a signed etching for a dollar. My wife found 7 pins/lockets for $3 each. We got there after 2pm. They were probably open since 9am. So, a lot of people picked through this stuff. There were over 15 people while we were there. These are four of the seven.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]559804[/ATTACH]</p><p>This looks like a suffragette piece.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]559805[/ATTACH]</p><p>This is marked 14k. So chances are good those are diamonds. I&#039;m sure the carat weight is nothing. But, $3.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]559806[/ATTACH]</p><p>This is also marked 14k. Look at the clasp. Those might be real pearls.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]559807[/ATTACH]</p><p>This has an XVII etched into it. It might be junk. But, it&#039;s NOT. Look at the photo.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]559808[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]559809[/ATTACH]</p><p>The other three pieces are also very nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Upstairs of this place I found this print. It was just for show when the store was open. I wanted to pay $5. They said $10. I put it back. My wife came up and liked it, so I bought it. It&#039;s an etching (I think) of Franz Lefler&#039;s - The Marriage of Amor. It&#039;s in a beautiful frame. We&#039;ll be hanging it. [ATTACH=full]559810[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
