all nice finds !!!!!!!!

 

Whoo! I got a flannel shirt, navy blue, on Friday and my pills on Saturday. At least somebody was out hunting! (and more to the point, finding)

 

Nice haul @cxgirl! That shaving stand is cool. The inkwell and blotter looks either Japanese or maybe Czech.

 

This one I couldn't leave even though it has a fatal flaw. Only .99c but I would have loved it intact. I was just surprised to find Pueblo pottery out here in the first place.





I didn't even notice the signature until I got it home. It's by a mother and daughter Jane Baca and Starr Tafoya.


I was reminded to post it by seeing @Potteryplease 's icon haha.

 

Not much found lately. The £1 (I think) quartz beads are 56 inches long, the chain is only double plated but I liked the unusual links, £3, the 9ct and paste earrings were £1.99.

 

Are those blue glass inserts? <whimpers>

 

My find of the week was for a friend and never came home. It was a circa 1900, I think, Dr Pepper advertising mirror with most of the mirror part gone. The name part was intact though and so was the frame. $30. I've never seen one that old, and the friend who loves Dr Pepper stuff was elated.

Finding Santa Clara pueblo pottery at all is a good trick.

 

Let's go! Good stuff. Black Pueblo pottery is the best.

 

A few from the backlog...
9x12 work on paper. Kinda 1980s so I had to.

funky little figurine by Zeke Israel

Art glass perfume bottle.Mom will love it.



Last but not least is the awesome pottery cat ! I dont do 'cute' usually but this fellow caught my eye and I just fell in love. Its 14 inches high and weighs a ton. Ive yet to identify the maker.



Just found out the cat is Foxlo studio !

 

Very nice everyone.

 

Meow. The perfume is a pulled feather design, no idea whodunit.

 

@johnnycb09 - The perfume is pretty & I'll bet Mom was tickled pink, but definitely newish - my SWAG would be 90s through a few years ago.

 

Wowzer!!! Congratulations!

 

I am behind on jewelry posting, so I will do a few at a time, with some posted on the jewelry board in a bit with questions.
My favorite was an HMH sterling St. Michael's necklace, pricey for a thrift, $25.


I found this for $5 yesterday, gold-filled but somehow a blob of solder? landed on it. Still like it.

I found a bakelite bracelet for $1.50! The other two, not sure what they are, they will be on the jewelry board with questions. $3 each for the white ones less 25% off...not plastic.

 

Solder blob would have been because it held an added piece in the middle. I usually see inexpensive hardstone cameos mounted there on these necklaces...but that's cause I mostly hunt cameos. There are probably a variety of bits that could have gone there. I like it as is anyway.

 

Hmmm...putting a cameo there is a great idea! There are plenty of loose ones floating around.

 

The bracelets look like "white cinnabar"...yukyukyuk. I've seen it sometimes; it's a modern material, no idea what it really is, made to be carved like real cinnabar.

 

I checked out modern white cinnabar bracelets when I bought these (Google lens.) They have older designs, look like they have some age, and the newer ones appear to have a different, more plastic, appearance. I bought a cinnabar bracelet in San Francisco's Chinatown in 1988, these are a similar design and found with the bakelite.

Maybe celluloid?

 

A few more...rainy day here, I'm not going out. Vintage St. Anne du Beaupre rosary $9


Boho 60s-70s Norwegian pewter necklace by Buodd-Tinn $5

Methinks these are Marjorca pearls...


Researched these are similar. Mine have wire-coiled loops connecting to the clasp hardware.

 

Box, duh. These are similar ones I found online.
