[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 1284491, member: 51"]DH had business trip in a town with a lengthy row of antique malls so I joined him. For the most part these malls aren't going to have some greatly under-priced item sitting out because other dealers who have booths would see it and snatch it up. But one can still hope, and it was fun looking around and seeing what people charge for this and that in another city. Hadn't found much after half a day, literally had just ten minutes before I had to catch a bus back. With 10 minutes left, one of the last things I looked at was this huge flat 4ft case of vintage jewelry all on "half price". Vintage Saphiret pin alert! OMG I run to the front to ask them to open the case, get the pin ($14) and run on my old legs to catch the bus. It isn't a 1900s one, this is the vintage type, but still collected big time. Meet DH on the bus. Honestly we have kind of a long running joke (Saphiret being one of the Holy Grail's for me) and first thing DH says, "Find any Saphirets?" :) [ATTACH=full]218093[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
