I found a few good things this week. Nothing crazy good but it'll do. I think the best find for the money was this Mattel Injector toy from 1968. It came with the full set of "Western World" plates and about 50 more from other Mattel injector sets as well as a bag of the plastic pellets and other assorted parts. The best part is, it was a whopping $1. The guys wife got mad when she found out what he sold it to me for. Here it is-
I found a bunch of perfumes and a cologne or two also. Paid a total of $22 for all of them at 2 different sales.
Next is an ashtray which I don't usually buy unless it's unique, since I quit smoking more than 6 years ago (or was it 7?). Anyway, I haven't id'd it yet and it is unique. I believe it's Murano or Venetian just based on the design of it. It's cased glass with gold flecks and a gold rim. For a dollar, I was a must have.
I found a nice looking costume bracelet and clip on earrings. They aren't marked but they look old and quality, nothing plastic. I took a gamble at $2, lol. Anybody offer any info. on them, age maybe, or anything else?
Here is a hand blown Murano Carlos Moretti cased glass Taupe pitcher. Paid $3. I haven't found another one yet to put a value on it. I know the glasses are expensive so...
One more notable find was this early bottle opener/cork screw, pat. 1906 with sterling bolster and stag horn handle. The corkscrew screws into the handle. This is the 2nd one of these I have found over the years. Paid .50 for this one-
Other finds not pictured are the full set of 6 Hazel Atlas child's alphabet milk glass mugs. I paid $20 for these and two extra ones at an estate sale. I found the remaining 8 Burger King Star Wars glasses that I needed to complete the entire series. There were 3 sets of 4 glasses released, '77 Star Wars, '80 Empire Strikes Back and '83 Return of the Jedi. I had the 1st 4 original Star Wars ones. Paid $1 for each glass. Also bought a 2003 American Silver Eagle for $20. I'll post some more after tomorrows finds.

The lovely ashtray is Bohemian glass, and the fab jewelry demi may be Juliana (DeLizza & Elster), however, I would need to see the backs to either confirm it or discount it.
Actually, I have found good stuff in all types of settings, from darn near straight ghetto to multi million dollar homes. It's all hit and miss. I walk away empty handed from most sales.
