4th of July gold and silver

Did pretty good over the Independence Day weekend. Here's a quick rundown. My wife picked up the strand of pearls with a 14k clasp for $2.00. I picked up three sterling items for 1-2 dollars each. The ring with the amber stone is from Warsaw Poland 1963-86. A 14k mothers brooch for $3.00. A 10k marked antique straight pin for $1.00. A nice rose gold and seed pearl antique Victorian brooch for 3.00. Its not marked but tested positive for 10k! A brownstone tea pot with heavy sterling overlay and monogram for $4.00. Missing the top but we'll use it for a flower vase. And last but not least, a beautiful English claret jug with a sterling top for $4.00. The date mark is 1880. It has a small chip in the bottom edge but that's ok. I think that might also be a keeper.

You killed it for sure. Very interesting teapot. I can honestly say I am never seen anything like it. Very unusual.

Thanks! I've never seen anything like it either. It's not like actual overlay. More like heavy molded sterling that you can actually pry off. I called it overlay for the lack of a better term. Definitely unusual and I'll take any info on it if someone has any.

Great finds! My favorite is the crescent moon pin (It will do well if you sell it) as well as the Scottish thistle brooch.

Thanks for the info!! That's awesome. Too bad I don't have the lid though. Still a cool piece. We also thought the crescent moon pin might do well.
