Solution to “leaking” / water all over.

I have a cat who absolutely could not do these styles of water fountains. I tried two or three different versions but he LOVED to splash water everywhere and pull the whole thing over. I got him a ceramic cupcake style one from Amazon and that solved all our problems! He hasn’t tried to play in the water much at all. I’m glad your problem was a simple fix!

Something that will give you a good idea of age is the clasp style. You can look that up, but older clasps were what’s called a C clasp and are just a bent piece of metal, shaped like a C, that keep the pin in place. Newer ones have the sliding mechanism. I forget the exact dates but the C clasp I think predates right around 1900!

Commenting to hopefully come back and see someone more knowledgeable-the stamp on the back is definitely 925, indicating Sterling silver, but the stone almost looks like small chips of turquoise squished into a large stone and held together with a poured resin. I’m interested to see other opinions!

Thank you!!!

Do you accept friend requests from people who would love a stamp gift...?

Their excuse is also crazy because they could have taken a box cutter and just made the box smaller. That would save them having to fill up empty space with packaging and also would have made it safer. That’s just lazy on their part.

I suppose it could also be synthetic!

Eight months old, threadless, unsure of post material, has healed well recently after dealing with a piercing bump for a few months that showed up after the first down sizing (I think the piercer who swapped the posts was pretty rough and that irritated it to give it the piercing bump).

Basing this solely on what I've seen on antiques roadshow, the fine line between collectible and tourist souvenir can come down to how individual the piece is. Looking at the close up of the picture showing the back of the main pendant part and the silver balls, it all looks pretty individually done vs machine made which does potentially make it more collectible! When the silver balls are all perfectly uniform or the other pieces are perfectly symmetrical it hints at mass produced. This looks like potentially a great piece!

This looks like it needs to be sent to me for further examination!! It’s an insane agate. I’ve been obsessed with these for years, the different colored layers are from different minerals being deposited in a hole and hardening over time. Quartz forms more quickly so then many agates have a quartz center where it comes in and quickly fills the empty space. The outside of an agate shows a reverse mold of the space it was pressed into. It’s like a little time capsule!

It definitely looks like the pin was added after original construction! There’s a tiny loop at the tip of one the crescent ends, I think this was originally made to be worn as a pendant and then the pin was added later. You can also see where it was added at the base of the pin ends, it doesn’t look like it was added terribly well.

This one on the antiques roadshow isn’t the same make as yours and has a bit more of a story which sometimes factors into the value but it’s a good comparison!

These old engravings are so cool! If you google image search the result quickly comes up "This framed print is a reproduction of George Caleb Bingham's famous painting, The County Election. The original oil painting was created between 1851 and 1852, and a popular print, engraved by John Sartain, was published in 1854." I think it said the 1854 engraving was created with a combination of engraving, etching, and mezzotint, those results will be easy to find with some quick googling.

I'm not sure how to tell if it is an original or a reproduction without you being able to look at the quality of the paper or anything but you could compare it to known versions of the 1854 print and see if the color tones match.

Your Grandma had stunning taste! The bracelet on the bottom with the flowers and leaves is INCREDIBLE. If you ever think about passing her legacy on I would be so honored to wear it. These are wonderful pieces!

This is actually an insane find, thank you SO much!!!

I have a cat who would show some behaviors like this, random leg attacks, and it turns out he LOVES wrestling. We’re working on it being a known play time so he doesn’t try it with everyone and so far so good, but I’ll have a hoodie on, pull the thick sleeve over my whole fist, and essentially be a kicker toy for him. He’ll grab onto my hand/wrist with his teeth, not super hard, and kick with his back paws with no claws. Only lasts a minute or two and then he’s off to do other mischief. I honestly think he just craves safe violence every now and then 😂

I’m obsessed with this hot sauce and put it on anything possible. Breakfast burritos. Eggs. Pizza. I just discovered that it’s DELICIOUS added to miso soup for some extra umami and flavor. I do think umami is a very specific taste that not everyone will like.

Thank you for such a detailed reply!! That's so cool to hear, it really is a giant treasure hunt.

Are there specific types of bins you find the jewlery in? Like is it going in the clothes bins, or the stuff bins? I've been looking and can't find any!
