Silver, beer, and tools!

[ethanfez]

Went to a few sales today! First one at 8am in my neighborhood I got these!

Left ring was $6, middle one was $8, right one was $5. The middle one is massive! Weighs a few oz at least!

Got this at the same sale as well. I liked the beer charm. It is all Sterling.



Also got this at the same sale

It is bigger than my current one and a craftsman so I didn't mind paying $7 for it!

Also got this necklace at the same sale. Don't know anything about it but it is pretty and heavy. Paid $1.


At the last sale of the day I bought a lot of nice tools. The socket wrench set is all craftsman and I paid $8. The bucket of tools I paid $10.



Also got these ww2 life magazines at a sale for $15. There are about 15 in the box.


All in all a much better day than usual!

Also forgot to mention. I am going to keep the socket wrench set and any other nice American or German made tools in the box. I sell the rest. As a 18 year old I have a better and higher quality set of tools than most people in their 40s.
The jewelry I am going to sell along with the life magazines. Any help with what to call the necklace would be great!

The necklace would be termed "cloisonne". You did good grasshopper!

You did good on the silver rings, but I think the buy of the day was that tool box. It looks brand new in the pictures.

It is a bit dirty and a bit loose but nothing a little work won't fix. My old tool box was from the 1970s and I found it at goodwill for $7.
This one has 2 more drawers and is younger than me. With the amount of tools I keep buying in going to need the extra room!

Also a side note for anyone out there. What brand of tools do ya'll prefer? I stick to mostly craftsman and other high quality American made tools (Snap-on when I can find it and stuff like that) and German/Austrian stuff if I can find it. Only ever found 2 small wrenches from Austria and still no German tools.

Great tools! Use the Life magazines for the bottom of your bird cage

I've sold Life magazines before, more than once.
