Found this today - not home yet but I'm super excited about it either way. Paid $6 - I'll test it when I get home.

That's neat. Almost looks like a danecraft brooch with a spynx head attached. Probably not but I would have grabbed that up too! Nice find for $6!

Beach kid, I'll definitely check that out bc it's not gold or silver. Still a VERY sweet costume piece none the less.

It seems to be of two pieces-the flowers are complete on the back and there's no face there. The face seems a little pushed in and you can't just put your thumb on the back to push it out. There are those 4 holes around the center though, maybe you can push it out using them and a not-too-pointy tool. I'm thinking an .005 hex wrench, just because there happened to be one in plain sight.

All in all not too bad, I guess. Spent $50 plus or minus.

The bracelet tests at 14-18K gold (13.5 grams).

The one pair of earrings is marked BEN AMUN.

Unfortunately the bee pin, marked ROMAN, has a broken leg.

The other three pairs of clip earrings are unmarked - any ideas?

Not sure about the dog pin.

The one necklace is marked (mark.) - is anyone familiar. It's the one with the large black and white rhinestone knocker.

The other necklaces are costume.

The coin (pendant) is 1 PESO from 1933.

The final pair of clip earrings are gold fill.

Are the copper earrings signed? They look like something made by Renoir. The clear and black stone pendant is eye catching. Is it signed? Possibly added to the chain? And the dog pin is awesome to. Someone will love to have that. I think it's a Scottie dog??

I recently listed a bunch of copper pieces that I had collected in auction lots along
The way - Kim, Matisse, REBAJES, ... I was hoping these were signed and my 9 year old was biting at the bit to get to Dicks Sporting Goods. He wants a pocket knife - um, why?

I'll have to inspect the pendant a bit closer for sigs before listing it on the Bay.

I feel like I see a hand signature on the Scottie Dog pin....but then it could just be in the design.

Good score

Nice finds...I'm always impressed by how well you do. Hope you bought the kid the pocket knife....every boy at that age wants one.

Because he is a nine year old boy. That's what they want.

I did buy him one...but not a Dicks prices. I bought him three today instead - at an estate sale.

You're a great mom! I always carried one around when I was a kid and still do today.
