I picked these up last weekend at the big ts in town. The pendant is rather interesting. It's a spiral mollusk shell that appears to have been filled with a clear acrylic and then sliced and polished with a decorative sterling silver framework and enhanced with a little dragonfly perched on a faceted round amethyst. It does have a mark of IO or ID?. My guess it's a piece made in Indonesia possibly?. Not sure the maker can be easily identified. It was $18. and change and I felt it was worth at least that.
The second item is this beautiful hands-free carved Ben Wade of Denmark smoking pipe. It was $5.99. There's a good market for these old estate dead man's pipes especially in Asia. The mouthpiece was only slightly chewed, but I buffed most of that all down and got it looking nice and pretty. It's in pretty good condition and may bring as much as $85. to $100.
