Featured Finds Thread

Found these 2 a few days ago. Splashed out more than id like,but thats mainly because Im a skinflint. I like the finish and colors,and the simplicity of the design. They are copper and quite heavy. I found a match called Rose Ann Designs ,wich is some decor business so not mission as Id hoped but still nice .17 1/2 inches high !

 

I like those.

 

Thanks Nana . Im gathering up things to redo my dining area in MCM. I think these will go nicely.Once I clean them !

 

I love the size & color as is. I have been on the hunt for copper candlesticks with some size to them.

 

Think these are probably Mexican. Nicely made.

 

Are these identicals?

I see the tag does indeed say Mexico. Think the asking price for those is way out of line.

 

Especially as Rose Ann Hall a wholesaler and company founded in the 1990s.

Finally went finding instead of hunting today! I need to upload the pix. Two pair of earrings I hoped were gold were costume, but the cross and the cameo weren't. The cross alas is hollow and has two names on it, so it'll be scrapped. The cameo and its chain won't though. I couldn't read the mark on the cameo mount, but it's well-carved and has to be gold. The two chains and the cross weighted in at about 15g, currently $800 or so in scrap. OOPS! Looks like I need to donate some money to the charity these came from!

 

Ahh, some good Canadian Whiskey !!!!!

 

Auto correct , on a US version computer ....

 

I saw some Jaegermeister plastic cups today at the Ill Will, to go with the bottles. Not sure I'd want to mess with that stuff; it has a reputation for letting or making you get really twisted. (What do you think Twisted Sister got twisted on? )

My two pieces from right before the snowstorm, and two days before I had to call an ambulance for Mom (they turfed her out about 36 hours later). The tag on the little silverplate piece said "Pewter coffee scoop". It's plate, not pewter, and it's a roly-poly jigger. Made by Napier, a company that made mostly costume jewelry. I only found out they made some table and barware in October. I think it's mid-late 1930s. During the Depression, some companies tried making other things to earn a buck.

The bracelet was sold as...costume. It's silver. The inside makes me think it was sandcast cast flat and fancied up later. No idea whodunnit; the mark looks like a T with a small heart.
