Another find from Goodwill. Happy early birthday to meeeeee 😁
We acquired this guy through the Cat Distribution System™ almost 9 years ago.
If you like Sam Neill and you've never watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople, go watch that. One of his best roles.
Look at this absolute UNIT of a ring that showed up in my mailbox today. It's missing the stone for the larger setting; the remaining stone I believe is peridot. Recommendations for what I should put there? @hillarymonahan.bsky.social @beckymew.bsky.social @ajijaakwe.bsky.social
They're back with another "Sterling Silver minimalist bar pin". Yeah...no.
Hey @ajijaakwe.bsky.social , what do you think of this? The stone is a moonstone.
Dear Goodwill employee in the PNW, this not a mid-century double bar brooch. I am almost positive that this the rank insignia of a Captain (US Army/Air Force/Marine Corps) or Lieutenant (US Navy). shopgoodwill.com/item/269521568
The next pendant is a turquoise inlay pendant with the inscription SF. I think this is the work of Steve Francisco, a Navajo artist. I can't find anything about him online, but I did find a lot of pictures of his other work, and this is definitely his style.
Pendants! First we have a heartline bear pendant, and while it looks heavy, I think it is hollow. The inscription on the back is J Delgarito at a guess. Could be Jeremy Delgarito or Joe Delgarito. Whomever it is, this is a style they have revisited a lot, from my research.
Two more pair of earrings. The first pair are sterling silver with mother of pearl cabochons. The back is inscribed RB, and they could be the work of Richard or Rita Begay, Navajo artists. The other pair are turquoise clip-ons with a snake motif, a trademark of Effie Calavaza, a Zuni artist.
Some earrings. The first pair are post earrings with the hallmark S Edaakie on the back (partially obscured by the post). Could be Sheryl or Strallie Edaakie, Zuni inlay artists. The second pair are green turquoise (?) and the mark on the back, AM, is possibly Angeline Miller, a Navajo artist.
Captain Kirk: " Earth, Hitler, 1938." General Chang: "I beg your pardon?"
A+ alt text. Minnesota, don't EVER give this flag back.
Goodwill store manager: Did you take a photo of that Star of David marcasite pendant for the auction? Store clerk: Sure did boss, real fuckin' sexy just like you asked. Store manager: What shopgoodwill.com/item/269065369
Come on now, who doesn't need a marcasite and mother-of-pearl heron brooch? @hillarymonahan.bsky.social @beckymew.bsky.social shopgoodwill.com/item/269195207
@wingsndnsilver.bsky.social it's here! I had to run down the mail carrier to get it but so worth it! The SPARKLE!
So I bought this ring simply because I thought it was cool. There's no mark indicating silver purity, and there were no hallmarks that I could see from the pictures, but it was pretty well tarnished. As I was polishing it I found initials - LB I think. Any thoughts @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social ?
