lol, found a bit of gold congrats Anund, that is a fabulous find!!

 

the vase is wonderful Lucille, congrats what other goodies did you find?

 

Here's my antique stuff. Tort glows teal in the dark. My camera probably made it look even brighter with it's auto correction, but it's very noticeable in person.



I found this 3min ytube video of a gentleman showing the difference between various real and fake objects under a blacklight. The fake stuff looks yellow or purple. The real stuff was heat treated, molded, and layered together so it doesn't always present how you'd expect and it doesn't hurt to check.

 

VV was my sterling silver friend today 2 bags of souvenir spoons and one bag of odd and ends silverware yielded me these the 2 serving spoons are London 1834, the demitasse spoons are Enchantress by international sterling and a mixed bunch of souvenir spoons all marked sterling. I almost didn't go because the weather was windy and rain this morning, I'm so glad I sucked it up and went.

 

Oh wow, great finds! Glad you braved the weather!

 

Score! Thank goodness somebody didn't check!

 

My local hoodwills arent even putting silver plate out lately. I envy !

 

It turns up here if it was made in China. The case that used to hold jewelry and video games is now missing a shelf and holding Target clearance health and beauty stuff.

 

Some of these have been with me for awhile & others have just arrived in the last few weeks. As I was saying in another post I was very shocked to see how many sterling cap perfume bottles were in the small display piece .



These are some other pieces that inhabit the same cabinet & got some cleaning done.



The red & clear one is marked Czecho Slovakia on the collar. The green & clear one's cover cap is Cloisonné over sterling.



The one with the dragon? on the lid is marked gold filled.

 

What a marvelous collection !

 

Fabulous collection! I most like the blue one with the flowers (?) on it, but I also like the deco ones.

 

Heres a few from the backlog. Pickings are beyond pathetic,and what little I see they want to charge the earth for.
