My first auction finds

[housemom6]

Went to my first auction tonight and I am hooked! Here's what I found. The hair set isn't marked but ids very heavy. Got it for 15 bucks. The necklace is just so pretty. And got it for 4 bucks. I'm a sucker for vintage jewelry

Nice buys, i know its hard for me to go to an auction and not raise my card on something, fun !!

Is it worth more than you paid for it?

Both are truly beautiful specially the hair set which is one of the antique and hard to find set. The golden color is adding more to it.

It seems the set is plate and not as old as it seemed but is still worth double what I paid and it's just pretty.

Apparently it is

Hi housemom,
I found two of those sets in my mother in laws belongings. They are from International Silver. Her sets are still in the box with price tags attached, $40. I'm sure she got them back in the 1960's or so. I'll post a picture of the box tomorrow for you.

This is my first attempt at uploading pictures on this website so I hope it works! I just noticed the tag is from the store "Things Remembered". I'm not sure how long they've been in business so the time frame is questionable.

Well this is serendipitous! What are the chances I would find both of your items in my mother in laws belongings.
