Made it out to the thrift stores again today to find some overpriced sterling chains at the first(overpriced for spot, still very nice looking, but super dainty). I browsed around and after some searching came across a sterling-handled cake knife. It is stamped WEBSTER STERLING and has an engraving of Barry & Karen 6-22-68. $3.
Next I headed over to another thrift store where I browsed the glassware section for a few minutes. I know, I know. Insontis, you fool! You know nothing of glass! Agreed. I was armed with only the knowledge of "flicking" the stem of a crystal glass will reveal a thud if glass and a ring if crystal. There were a lot of items that appeared (to me anyway) to look like crystal, but I couldn't be certain. Some had hallmarks, none that I recognized from here, though. Not to mention there were no complete sets. I did come across a pair of champagne glasses that are in perfect condition and I believe rang when I flicked the stems. For $0.50 a piece I figured it was worth a shot for the pair. They have no hallmarks, but I should still be able to resell them for profit... right?
Again, no idea what I'm doing with ANY sort of glass. I really need to corner that market as I'm sure I'd get first dibs on most of what comes in. As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated and taken to heart.
