I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE RECENTLY, CROSSING THRU THREE STATES ON A MAJOR BUYING SPREE, HAVING COME BACK WITH ALL KINDS OF FANTASTIC VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE ITEMS. THESE INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO): SOLID GOLD JEWELRY; GOLD FILLED JEWELRY AND OTHER VICTORIAN AND ART DECO GOLD FILLED ITEMS; STERLING SILVER JEWELRY (& MORE); LOTS OF ANTIQUE "SMALLS" (THINGS THAT FIT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND); AND MORE(!), SO PLEASE CHECK THEM ALL OUT AS I LIST THEM THIS WEEK.PLEASE NOTE: HERE IS A "COPY AND PASTE" LINK TO MY WIFE'S EBAY STORE, WHERE WE ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING (EVEN WITH PURCHASES FROM BOTH STORES (PLEASE LET US KNOW WHEN YOU ARE MAKING A PURCHASE, SO THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE YOUR NEEDS)) (https://www.ebay.com/str/dallasvalleydiscoveries).I RECENTLY ATTENDED SEVERAL ESTATE SALES, WHERE THERE WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL CONCENTRATION OF QUALITY JEWELRY, COLLECTIBLES AND ANTIQUES. I'LL BE SPENDING THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS WORKING THRU THESE ITEMS TO GET THE LISTED AS FAST AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU (ONE AUCTION WILL HAVE MORE THAN 500 LISTINGS, ALL ON ITS OWN!). HERE IS A NEAT VINTAGE LADY'S STERLING SILVER CHARM, WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN RHODIUM PLATED. THIS IS A PROCESS THAT'S DONE TO KEEP THE SILVER BRIGHT AND FLASHY FOR (SOMETIMES DECADES, AS IN THIS CASE) FAR LONGER THAN SILVER CAN DO ON ITS OWN. THERE IS VERY LIGHT ENVIRONMENTAL WEAR / CORROSION TO THE PLATING IN A FEW MICROSCOPICALLY VISIBLE PLACES. THIS INCLUDES A LITTLE BIT OF GREEN ON THE HEAD OF THE WHALE. HOWEVER, I'VE REMOVED MOST OF THAT WITH A WOOD TOOTHPICK (IT CAME OFF WITH ALMOST NO EFFORT AND I BARELY TRIED TO DO IT). EVEN WITH THIS, THE CHARM SHOWS VERY LITTLE WEAR (FROM ACTUAL USE) AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, OVERALL. THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 1.75 GRAMS. BY THE WAY, I ALSO ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER 160 (+/-) LOTS OF CHARMS AND/OR CHARM BRACELETS, WHICH ARE ALREADY LISTED (PLEASE CLICK ON THIS BLUE LINK>>> TO SEE THEM ("Jewelry - Charms, Ch Bracelets")). THIS IS IN ADDITION TO ANOTHER 55 GOLD FILLED AND SOLID GOLD CHARMS. THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. ENJOY!SHIPPING WILL BE $4.50 INSURED USPS GROUND MAIL, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING. I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS. IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!THANKS FOR LOOKING!
