Bread and butter type stuff. By that I mean nothing that's gonna make me rich but it will all sell for a good profit. I like the Art Deco Coffee set the best. I paid $10 for it, hope to sell it for at least $50 after I clean it up. The little pot $2, is a Wade Irish Porcelain Kettle, "Leprechaun's Pot of Gold". Worth maybe $20 or so. The thing to the right of it is a snuff bottle $1, maybe worth another $20 if i'm lucky. There are 3 MOP caviar spoons .50 each, another $$15-$20. The gold pen is a Gold filled Parker. I have a bag full of those i'm saving. The Schrade Old Timer pocketknife I had to buy just because (it's a man thing) $3.The lion is signed "R & BS Co." on the bottom but I doubt it's worth even $5, don't even know why I bought it.

The second photo shows 4 Swatch watches, I got $20 wrapped up in those, should sell for well over $100 if I sell them separately. The silver tray on the bottom right is marked International sterling, weighs 10 oz's., paid $10. This was actually the best moneymaker but I'm not ready to unload my silver yet. The silver colored thing above it is an Arthur Court Aluminum Card box with a jungle scene on it. Maybe $40-$50 for it, paid $5. The black Americana salt & pepper shakers were a big $2, good for $30 maybe. The Gladiator helmet $1 was an impulse buy because I thought it was cool, lol. I guess it's just a decorative piece. Also pictured is a .50 Kenneth J. Lang made for "Avon" Crown brooch $15-$20 and last is a sterling belt buckle made by Swank. I didn't even know they made sterling. I so used to seeing their cheapo cufflinks and tie clips everywhere. Anyway this a portion of what I bought this weekend so far. Thanks for looking.

Great finds! I know I would have bought the knife also,just because it's a Schrade pocket knife, I alway's like the PM's also.Good luck!......Scott.
 

Impressive Haul. Thanks for sharing.
 

Good finds! Swatches in the original packages is an awesome score, these finds are an excellent "portion" to start with.
 

I thoughts exactly, cool unique coffee set..nice score Dig!
 

like the coffee set as well! I also didn't realize that Swank make sterling stuff...Will have to look closer from now on. Nice scores!
 

Diggs, cool finds. I am going to show my ignorance by asking a stupid question now. Is the tray marked "International Sterling"? At first I was confused because I know I have passed on trays marked International Silver, because I believe that really is just plate. Now I am all confused, please update me, International Silver isn't, right? Now I need to double check for International Sterling, because that is? Please, help a boy out here. LOL

Yes, it is marked International Sterling. 95 out of 100 pieces of International silver that I see are just plated. The International Silver company is like a conglomerate of independent companies that merged to form a large one. They made plated stuff and sterling too. If it's marked sterling then your okay. If it's marked International silver without a sterling mark then it's plated. Like I said, in my experience the vast majority of the stuff I have personally seen is plated. Here is the mark on my tray-

Thanks, Diggs, I just needed clarification. Didn't want to leave $ behind cuz I was too afraid to ask the stupid question. I appreciate the help.
