Had another stellar weekend here in the garden state. Most interesting find is a white, high luster metal ring marked Pall. I've now learned that Pall means "Palladium" - not as valuable as gold, but not shabby and its the first Palladium item I've ever come across. Really stoked about that one. Flea market special.
Second prize goes to a pair of gold heart earrings which ring in at a mind blowing 18.8 grams of 14K. The woman that wore these must have had very strong ear lobes. They appear to be custom made - you can see the lost-wax casting imprints in the back of the top hearts and drill marks from where the bottoms were gouged out from a solid piece. Set with semi-precious stones (Amethyst and Zircon). These were nabbed off the earring rack in a local thrift.
Micromosaics are set in karat rose gold - somewhere around 10K.
A twisted and kinked 14K white gold herringbone necklace rounds out the gold finds. Several pieces of interesting sterling as well. Finally - a gold filled masonic ring. (Garage / Estate)
On the non PM finds - came across a pair of Lenox Crystal Glasses. Past experience has taught me to avoid Lenox, especially the glassware. However, these were cheap ($1.00 each) so I googled "Palm Tree Lenox Glasses" and discovered they are from the British Colonial Line (now retired). This particular pattern of Lenox Glassware sells very well online. Thrift in North Jersey.
Thanks for looking and luck to everyone in their hunting (as long as your not looking in my thrift shops in NJ)
