Great Day 2 Estate Sale Pic

[JimDon]

I hit day two of an estate sale and was surprised what jewerly was left.
Picked up a 14kt gold garnet and seed pearl ring 5.6g.

A 14kt gold diamond and emerald ring. 3.6g Diamond and emeralds are real.
10kt gold ring with two fresh water pearls.
Two silver necklaces 7.5g
Coin silver spoon be Reimer of Auburn NY 13.5g

Sterling collector spoon 9.4g

And a nice Movado watch. .

The gold necklace is unmarked and acid test is good for 5 minutes then starts to fade. It's probably not real but I'll have to get it checked.

Paid $200 and should be able to double my money.

Those are some great finds. I say you are good to go with the acid test. 5 minutes is more than enough time to get results. I usually give it a minute at most. My gold/silver buyer doesn't even give it that! Great job on the estate leftovers!! ☠

Sold the garnet ring for $175 and the Movado (not working) for $30. The rest I have not sold but should give me a nice profit.

Was a good sale to hit it looks like I hardly ever go to those estate sales. I just don't think about it when there going on, plus the one's I've gone to are mostly seeded with crap provided by the estate liquidation people. They go in first and pull all the real goodies to sell first online or some other way and try to off the junk to the open house lookie-loo's.

Your coin silver spoon dates from 1831-1833. Here's a bit of info for you:

That is how it is here with the professional estate sale people.
