    Brad -

    Thank you very much, I wasn't expecting any ID at this point but appreciate it greatly! I love the Zanesville vase - I was happy to find it at $10.00. I'm a firm believer that 'something' is to be had at most sales or stores, you just have to slow down and really look, so many folks go so fast. This was in a crate in a corner away from all the other tables.

    I'm going to go ahead and post ID requests for the other two vases now on the actual correct forum.

    This week while garage sailing I found a fat wallet in the street.

    Whilst going to deliver it I ran across another garage sale. Toddler clothes, Tupperware and grandma's sewing machine.

    Score! Featherlight? Even if not, it's a score. With all the attachments no less. All that's missing is the oil.

    Featherweight, but yes. Nice condition - and very nice to see everything intact!

    This is sort of a find. FREE :) My friend was tossing these stained leaded glass panels so I rescued them. I have two perfect panels in the house. I plan on making something out of these that are injured. I love the leaves and flow phphOBRdBAM.jpg phpo2IZGSAM.jpg ers. There are also remnants under the saw horses.

    Love the sewing machine, Terry.

    Lovely panes, Shiloh! And free! I used to make some stained glass about 20 years ago. Oh my gosh, 20 years, I can't believe it's been so long!

    I just wanted to post a nonfind that I came across last week so people know what NOT to buy...lol. Fire King Jadeite is hot right now, right? So when I came across an ivory jadeite casserole with the stand, I thought it would have to be super rare. Wrong. Not even worth selling.

    I also got these mugs. I wish they were marked as I can't find anything comparable. They reminded me of these ribbed coffee mugs we had when I was growing up.

    I got 12 pounds of jewelry, but I haven't finished sorting through it yet. Found a bit of gold and silver so far plus a few decent pieces to sell.

    Oh Shiloh, I hate to make you even more jealous, but I think it would be things you would like - lots of copper, pewter, brass.

    I have it scattered everywhere, but I'll try to get some shots later.

    I taught myself the stained glass. I had wanted to do it for a living, but the work that is involved, and the little amount you can get for most pieces, just made it not worth it.

    Some great finds and I even like the non-find Fire King. Maybe you can sell it locally? I sometimes find that things with little demand on ebay can have a bit of market for them locally.

    Very nice stained glass pieces and you can't beat free. I have an affinity for stained glass. I have a collection and some bits and pieces around as well. I took a class about 30 years ago and always thought I would get back to it. Agree with tie.dye.cat that it is too labor intensive to make much money at. Unfortunately, I need to work at things I can make some money with and all the fun stuff gets put on the back burner. :(

    Well, believe it or not, I do have a find -- which I "found" on that other place! ;)
    1949 Royal Worcester cigarette holder -- not remarkable except that it's handpainted and signed. $4.00 + $9.00 shipping, hee hee! (Dunno who signed it -- my go-to guy for info like that says that could be initials rather than the full sig. He doesn't recognize it. :( )

    Haven't figured out how to post pix here, so will link to the closed listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281342626984?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

    Oh tie-dye now I am going to cry! Please do share :)
    4.00 for that cigarette holder??? WOW, what a steal :)

    Brad and tie-dye, There was a gal in a law office where I worked that made such lovely leaded glass. She even made a couple of panels framed in wood for the counter. Our atty. loved it. She also made the sun catchers. I plan on doing the suncatchers too for the yard and house. I love tedious work so its just a matter of geetting intoo the mood ;)

    Yes the same goes for making sterling jewelry with stones. Lots of work and time involved for so little money in return.
