That's amazing!!
Polishing silver is very rewarding!
You'd never know they are almost 80 years old.

Only $38 to give your shinies their own stage with lights and everything?? Do it.
I was so tempted! Who doesn't want their own vintage light-up ring display?
Maybe I'll go back and make them plug it in for me. Then there will be no turning back.....
This is the way.
@stracci2000, you didn’t mention that it lights up! Yes you must buy it and then spam us with video you upload to YouTube!
Think of it like a festive display, you could throw your rings on it and decorate it for each season.
Don’t even think about passing this up!
I'm gonna go to the store wearing 6 diamond rings, load that thing up and make the sales lady plug it in. She will think I am a loony tune!

I like this decorating idea! Lady, you always think outside the box!

Anyone have any Bunninkins plates ?
I had a whole setting as a wee kiddie
i think there is an egg cup and a bowl left unbroken
the new fangled plastic stuff is not nearly as nice
I popped into a local antique mall and found a few things.
This 14k herringbone chain was $8.00
The seller probably didn't know it was gold, even though it is clearly marked.
It weighs 3.17g.
And check out this beauty!!!
I'm over the moon about this one.
A Japanese woodblock print triptych.
18"x 31"
I missed out on a similar one several years ago. I wasn't gonna let this one get away!
I'm still researching the artist and age.

One of my 'Bruce' (Springsteen forum) friends in the UK who is a retired nurse, volunteers at a charity shop
She saw some thing she knew i would love
It arrived in about 12 pieces
i feel sad for two reasons - postage is criminal and my friend is retired
And also i think of the original owner of this porcelain mug - an old lady probably just moved into a home (or a more permanent move 'upstairs')
Perhaps her granddaughter gifted it to her
it had never been out of its box kept for good or just admiring and now its broken
In my house my rule for things is they must be beautuful or useful
If some thing is chipped if its still nicely useable I'll do so to remember the person who gave it to me
i have a glass vase that lives behind the lace curtain on the window sill in the loo, my great Aunty gave it to me but i dropped it and its got a chip, im not ready to throw it out, so i use it, its not pretty enough to be on show but its still useful and being used
Bacl to my mug
Sad sigh
I know 99% of royal souvenirs are worthless
But it has worth to me because my friend gave it to me
So im thinking ill plant a cacti in it or it can become a vase and it can live on my kitchen window sill where i can see it and think of my friend
No way do i have a steady enough hand to glue it up so im getting a quote for a place that does those Japanese repairs in the gold. They do a faux gold option that might be more cost effective although silver would look better
Anyway i just feel sad
Ive beem trying to find a replacement on line but have not seen one the same
I don't want my friend to know its broken
She did joke a week ago i might end up having to do a mosaic
Edit i know this isn't old enough to be anywhere near an antique but its a timely lesson in using your nice things now, today, right now !
this mug feels quite fine and would have been nice for the original owner to drink out of for a daily morning cuppa'
