Amazingly little gold among the jewelry. I've done an initial sort of jewelry. There are about a dozen large rubbermade totes (I'm pretty sure I have about 300 lbs of jewelry) and seperated out all gold and silver. I do have a bunch of assorted silver jewelry, lots of Taxco Mexico stuff. Gold would have been better but silver is nice too. Lots of old costume jewelry which looks like it can be pretty valuable. I didn't really realize the value of bakelite initially so I am going back looking for that. Found one necklace just like one listed on EBAY for $2500 (didn't sell but still a good sign of potential value) Lots of named costume jewelry, Trifari, Sarah Coventry, Hobe...don't know much about it but doing research now. Found some weapons (WWII) some with certain logo's which will prevent sale on EBAY, Tons of old paintings and lithographs which again will require many hours of research. Tons of furniture some really nice and old...I could go on forever. No huge hits, tons and tons of $20, $50, $100 items so no doubt it will be profitable but doesn't look like we will strike it rich on any one item....never know though, we still have about 16 pallets stacked high with boxes to sort through. I tried to post a photo of the house before emptying it but my photos are too big. Will try again later.
