So, compliments of two children (many clothing sizes) and refusal to throw it away, I had my own yard sale. I actually organized a neighborhood sale to increase traffic. Well, it was the HARDEST thing I've ever had to do...watch other yard saler-s in my hood!! Any way, at least I could pick my two neighbors goods in the meantime.
...when my hubby wasn't looking!
Picked up a nice green fishing chair (looks a lot like a directors chair) $5 - saved my butt from sitting on concrete all day.
They also had some Tiffany & Co. pieces. I paid $5 for the jewelry pictured. This brings me to the following inquiry - does anyone have a good reference on fakes for T&Co. pieces? I'm fairly certain that the necklace with the figure 8 charm is real (?I hope?). The other two pieces, not so sure. If all else fails, there has to be at least $5 worth of silver if they test out.
The ball necklace is not marked (only 925 on clasp).
The ball bracelet is marked 925, and has the Tiff Co mark (?).
The other necklace - figure 8 - is marked 925 different T&Co marking - the c-clasp is marked 1/20 12K (which I thought was odd)!
All of the pieces were a bit tarnished, I figured they would sell best if they were cleaned up a bit. I usually leave the cleaning to the buyer.
ASIDE - the salt, baking soda, vinegar, aluminum foil, and hot water method works WONDERS!!!
