Todays yard sales and purchases at a car swap meet

[MRBeyer]

Irony is I bought most of the tools at the yard sales and most of the jewlery at the auto swap meet. Usually I am a vendor but life got in the way this time. I scored huge on several pieces including the radial arm saw, the staple nail gun with 10000 staples, the signed bolo (its huge), a small 10K necklace with pendant, the two pieces of uranium glass of which I was told one is a fenton, and what I think is another fenton bowl. Heavy day, spent $490 on all of it. The large strawberry platter is Crystal clear studios, arielle pattern and it came with the box. My wife snagged it as well as an intentional purchase just for her of a rose quartz, hematite, and rose fiberstone necklace. She loves it. Also not pictured here is a hammer drill with box and several bits that will go on my tool bin. The radial arm saw and the table saw will both also go in the garage for honey do projects.

My questions (as I usually have at least one) are the following. What is the mark on the Hematite ring? What is the type of stone in the (looks like agate to me ) earrings? The Bolo has a navajo hallmark, does anyone know who it is, any idea of price? By the way did I mention it is freakin huge, the collectible spoon was placed next to it for a size comparison. The uranium glass Fenton bowl is cool but I don't know the maker of the uranium glass candleholder on a metal base. Also, while I suspect the white peach with frosted rim is Fenton, I do not know the style so I can look it up. I have not gone through the A team toy so I don't know if I will have any qestions. Finally, does anyone here know Ertl and Tonka toys and did I make a good buy on both the toys? Spent $5 on the fire truck and $20 on the tractor with plow set.

Can't help you to much, but seeing that bolo brought back memories ! Some 55+ years ago my parents took us out to California and I can still remember my younger brother purchasing a bolo shaped identical to yours. He paid 50 cents for it and it was filled with iron pyrite. Can't remember the state for sure, but it was either Arizona or New Mexico and it was from an Indian souvenir shop operate by the Navajo I believe, but not positive, right on the highway. Neat piece, but probably little to no value now days. Sorry.

the uranium glass with metal base i think is fostoria heirloom.
i also suspect the pink one is fostoria. cant think of the pattern name, but it looks like their style.

The Tyco A-Team race track is a cool find and should be a profitable one. I don't know who made the vaseline glass candle holder but it's not Fostoria Heirloom. The pattern doesn't match and is wasn't one of the pieces produced in that line. The pink bowl is a Fostoria piece. The pattern is seascape. Gotta run for now. Nice finds.

I see a lot of those Ertl tractors and plows here in the Midwest. I can't seem to see any names on your pieces, usually the generic ones without an IH, John Deere, etc name are worth 10-20 bucks. Any name on the plow that I'm not seeing? The fire truck doesn't look like much but it's hard to tell from that picture

Nice haul. You touched just about everything this weekend

A quite large haul with some wonderful pieces. Congrats on everything.

Some further information. The salt and pepper shakers are Watrous. Paid $20 for four, should get $20 a pair which is pretty close to melt value unfortunately. Thanks Diggumup for the Fostoria pattern. Ronson lighter is a PAL and bought for $10, should sell for $25. The Ertl tractor is worn and missing stickers. Bought as a set with the plow for $20, should be able to sell both together for about $40. The plow is a another Ertl and is an international 720 auto reset bottom plow. The A team was thrown in to sweeten the deal, probably is not complete, and should go fast for about $35. Pun intended. Yes, doesn't look like the fire engine will sell for much. Probably double the $5 I have in it though. Looks like the Navajo hallmark has most people stumped. Wish I knew who the person is, could make the difference between a hundred dollar and a thousand dollar piece.
