As you guys know, I mainly mess with jewelry. This house I’m at is loaded with antiques. This is some of the stuff at the house. I don’t know much about any of this. JimDon is helping me out with the paintings which I decided to pass on most of but what about any of these other pieces?

I really like the floor mirror. The 1st, 2nd & 3rd pictures...I look as dust collectors, also the lamp in the last picture. The oval mirrored vanity tray is nice too. I have a good bit of treasured antiques/vintage items in my home...mostly old farm tools, butter churns, butter molds, hurricane lanterns to name a few.
 

The one pictured is some type of resin material or like a plastic almost. I thought it was brass but it’s not.

I did not even notice the mirror under the stuff in the bathroom! Just saw stuff.
 

Check the lighters in the glass case especially the ones on the cart and check the cart too. Could be silver. I think I see some interesting ones there and might be Silver or gold too.

Ditto on what JimDon said. The oil lamp lighter looks sterling. I like the mirror in the 5th photo, though I wouldn't sell it unless locally.. The little jewelry casket shaped like a baby carriage in the 4th photo is interesting too, probably dates to the 1930's and worth at least $50 on a bad day. The Indian smoking stand, I would have already bought, even though I don't smoke anymore. That's a $500 item on a bad day, more if the paint is still bright.
 

Most of the lighters were ronson? Didn’t check for gold though... i will when I go back.
 

When checking those lighters... be aware Ronson made gold ones... including some well liked 9 karat ones.

I guess I’ll have to look and see online where they’re marked out because I didn’t notice any gold hallmarks when I did check but I just looked really quick.
 

it all looks like old money to me ( who lives like that?) ((silent movie star?))

She was well off. Whole family said that. 90% was picked over by family. I bought a 60 gram 14k necklace from a family member tonight. Crazy! There was some stuff she didn’t want to sell, I bet it was worth... alot! Everyone in the family keeps saying when she did not travel, she would go to yard sales. I think I would’ve liked hanging out and talking with her! I feel honored to be part of this even though I’m just doing what I’m asked.
 

The ashtray is my favorite as well! Good look!

So my return trip I did not buy too much. Friend of mine bought the ashtray which is fine, he has more ways of moving that stuff. There was one section in the garage that I never really looked at until today and it did not disappoint.

There was some scrap silver jewelry. Two lighters and a huge bowl. 315 grams. Too bad its mono and dented.

And a box of purses. They were going to donate them to Goodwill so I bought them all instead. there were a bunch that were rhinestone or beaded that I thought I could get maybe five dollars apiece at my booth. Yeah. And then wow! Prada. Chloe brand new with tags... then this funky reindeer one. I don’t know a lot about these things but sold listings are crazy!
