    And to follow up on that "Dump Bracelet" I posted back on page 615, I dug it out and found one of the rings was 18K!! But I wanted to show that the wrench REALLY does work!!!!! Two images with 'jaws' in different positions! I got a new phone and working with the new images is a PITA.....FOR SURE!!!!! HAHA....how my brothers didn't snag THAT from me, I don't know, but for once I WON!!!!:smuggrin::smuggrin:

    ^5 Mom! I love that wrench. There was a rummage sale this afternoon the next town over. I was halfway back in the line, more's the pity, and spent a grand total of ... $4.75. I only spent that much because the money goes to their Missions fund. Oh well. Tomorrow is another sale. I'm hoping for a few scores.

    That amber piece is a monster. Does it have a forever home?

    Some finds from last week - the candlesticks are my first ever neodymium glass finds and I have no idea who made them, a small painted Nymphenburg urn with satyr heads, small Villeroy and Boch lidded pot(?) with silver overlay, small pill boxes (one marked Italy, I think other two from same), some costume jewelry ... bone necklace, amber necklace, Bakelite brooch, Kendra Scott earrings (a brand to BOLO ... do we have a BOLO thread?), and finally today's find - a sweet old 14K pin with a hook from which one could hang a watch or something (for $5 ... guess they didn't see the stamp on the clasp)

    It's an American police radio acronym that went into the mainstream some time ago.

    Thanks
    It has a hidden clasp which to me is a bit of a rarity, shane the beads are all misshapen

    That, my friend, is four figures butterscotch. If you've not thought about where to sell it, I thoroughly recommend Tooveys who specialise.
