Show some if you've found some ... and go get some if you can before they lock us up again. Keep the images smaller to speed loading, and as always no live auction stuff.
Three sold items for this week. One cut to clear perfume bottle, one 1980 switch plate sold to a happy buyer, and a Heidi Daus clamper.
Antique perfume bottle
Should have kept this!

It's 3AM here and I am trying to distract myself because I can't sleep, I am so worried about our Manx cat who is not well. I have an appointment to drop him off at the vet at 10:30AM which seems like a long time to go and I am fretting.
Anyway, on Monday I bought this brooch at the same time as the two ammolite brooches I asked about.
Looks West Coast

That brooch is beautiful!
Hope everything turned out well for your fur baby.

arlene, so sorry to hear about your fur baby 😧. I hope it's something minor and he or she will be well in no time. Please keep us posted.
Here's a pair of Victorian 14k moonstone earrings I rarely wear and will probably sell:
Sold recently. Pumpkin spice by Weiss 😋:

Thanks Dream, Pheasantville and OCN.
Dream, I love those earrings! And the leaf necklace as well, very much a Fall jewelry statement!
OCN, thanks so much for the info on the brooch/pendant. It is signed with initials only, "PS". I am pretty sure it is unmarked sterling.
A quick update on our our Manx, (his name is Babur) He has been booked into the vet's "hospital" for the next two nights. He has torn ligaments in a back leg, and is also very badly constipated (this is a problem that many of the breed experience, and he is a stumpie Manx). He will be given an enema and hopefully his bowels will clear out over the next few days.
When I dropped Babur off at the vet there happened to be a thrift store almost next store so of course I had to go and take a peek.
I managed to find a few rather nice pieces.
Large Kenneth Lane cross. The stones are glass and the black ones are open back. Meant to look like coral and onyx. Signed c Kenneth Lane and Made in the U.S.A. I could really get into his jewelry as this item is spectacular.
Kenneth Lane cross and chain
A Wachenheimer chrysoprase and sterling brooch and a Boucher elf (this is the second one I have owned, the last one I sold)
Pinch me, I thought, maybe today is not so bad, and then I saw this on the shelf.
A hallmarked sterling lidded crystal jar with Edwardian hallmarks and I love the motif!
Spot the man's face!

hertzgirlz oh boy, you scored! That Juliana set is dazzling and I really like the sterling bangles, too!
arlene, sounds like Babur can be successfully treated and will be back to his old self in no time! Thanks for the update, and figures you'd find a thrift store nearby and score some awesome pieces! Ha! Hope that lifted your spirits!

Been waiting on your furbaby`s update, Arlene..while eyeing all ya`lls beauties! I love KJL!
So happy Baburwill be fine (right now I can kinda empathize with him lol). He is gonna be soooo happy to get back home!

Thanks Dream and Sarah! Sarah, I miss him so much the house is very quiet without him, our Siamese cat is looking way too pleased to be the "only cat in town!! " I can almost already imagine the hissing when Babur returns. Oh dear!
Hertzgirlz, score on that gorgeous Juliana set. Thud!!!

Arlene, So glad to hear your lil Manx baby is OK.
Hertz, Congratulations on your scores!

I've had a similar Juliana/D&E set before. It went for a nice chunk; it might even pay for a lot of the vet bill. Worth it to get your furbaby back in one piece!
