The Treasure Chest / $ 160,050,500,500,001 in cash.

Found this in my last unit.  I paid 1100 for the locker, so this would be the best return ever.

He said 1-2000 for the cracked and repaired double vessel, and 2-5000 for the other. But without paperwork maybe half that is realistic.  Still works for me.

Scratch my last post, I just found 2 pieces of pre-colombian pottery in my last unit. I thought they were fake due to their excellent condition, but had them checked anyway. They are called Chimu, From Peru, and from around 900 A.D.

Pretty sure that will be my oldest for a while.

I found a Halberd ( pole axe) head in a unit last year. It was just authenticated as 1490s from central Europe. It is not for sale.

Luke, That one was a gamble, but It looked just like another I bought that was my best ever.  As far as the other one, I dont know yet either, but it had a Ferrari fender in it, so I hope I got it.

I didnt think of lapel pin, that lead me to it. They are called tupo in Peru, or topo in Bolivia.   Pretty rare and I think I will get a nice price for the collection.  Thanks again everyone.

General Storage Auction Talk / What are these?
« on: December 03, 2013, 03:50:51 PM »
I found these in a unit a few weeks ago and I cannot find any info on them.  They appear to be silver and have a hook on the back.  Since you guys have been able to identify all other weird things I have found I figured I would try again.  Thanks in advance.

From your pic I would bet 21k is correct.  Something that big would have picked up some dents, dings, body repairs, ect in 120k miles.  Another quick check is the brake pedal rubber pad, does it look excessively worn?

I have found out a little more on this set.  It is 1860-1880 regency parlor set.  There are 3 pieces, The settee and his and hers arm chairs.  The tufted leather and wooden casters are original.  American made.

Worth around 3-500 in its current condition. Restored between 1500 and 2000.

Claw feet and Casters (wood I think) on the front legs only.

Any ideas on age, maker, ect will be appreciated.
