These are my finds for today. I am especially curious about the artillery head. I cannot find any info on it, but I think it is old. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any advice on value would be helpful! Thanks!

Sony Recorder - Purchased for $1 - I think I can get about $20 for it on Ebay


G&W Specialty Electric Co Wiping Solder Ingot - Paid $2 - Any info on this (age/value) would be helpful.


This is my favorite find - I think it's some kind of Artillery Round/shell - Looks very old - one stamp on it that says 25 and a circle with an X i think - Paid $2





Phil Berrings Apple Bitter bottle - Paid 50cents

Monet Gold Tone Bracelet - Paid $1

I am impressed by the bronze Dobie. How large is it and does it have any makers marks?

No markings, and I put a quarter on it to show size. Also, look at the close up's. I notice the bronze/brass color looks like its chipping. Could this be brass/bronze plated? If so, what kind of metal could it be? Thanks,

Nice buys. Thanks for sharing...
 
Love the talcum jar. That is a glass jar with a paper label, right? The apple bitters bottle is, most likely, a reproduction made by Wheaton. Look at the bottom to find out. If it isn't Wheaton, you have a real find on your hands.
 
Really cool stuff you found there.:thumbsup: I'd post the artillery shell up in "what is It" forum. Be very interesting to find out what that is ?

It's a wheaton :(
 
The dog is probably bronzed spelter metal - essentially bronze plated. Doesn't mean it's not valuable, just need to associate it with an particular maker. Seems to be Art Deco era, which helps its case.
 
I would personally avoid the Wheaton stuff and the individually priced common costume jewelry. Otherwise, very nice finds!
