<p>[QUOTE="Kasperscuriosities, post: 161811, member: 404"]Well I think I finally got all those medals sorted out. Not the most fun thing I have ever done. It isn't easy to look up medals with no info to go on. Some of them were so old that the words had just about been worn off making finding them even harder. As if being a different language didn't make it hard enough already. I did find at least one US medal in the bunch. They are mostly French with a couple of Soviet Union Medals, 1 Italian, and 1 Nazi Germany which I had incorrectly attributed to the French at first. Glad I got that one fixed. There were just a couple that I couldn't track down. As far as all the pendants I am just going to let them ride there is no way I have enough time to sort them all out. They are in lots of 10 anyways and I figure that anyone that knows what those medals are will most likely know what most those pins are. Surprisingly I think all of them have at least 1 bid so far. Fingers crossed these medals do pretty well. Maybe they will do better now that they have actual descriptions. LOL! I may actually sell all the lots in this auction which would be a first. Well, except the stupid collectible plates.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was surprised to see that a couple of those got bids too. I really didn't think they would which is why I put them all at the end of the auction cause I figured if I was going to be passing them then at least I wouldn't be hindering the good stuff. I didn't want the plates but it was a package deal with the medals so I kind of got stuck with them. I am sure the seller is going to be upset when I call her to come pick the bulk of them back up to stick back in her garage or hey she could always take them to Goodwill. LOL! I absolutely hate collectible plates. I think they might make good target practice for someone though. LOL! PULL! Hmmm? That could be a lot of fun actually. Maybe I should market them that way. I would probably have a better chance of selling them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
