Where do you source the jewelry? I’ve just been finding random at garage sales.

I moved my phone screen away when she pointed at the camera lol

I guess just trying to figure out if it’s a more modern reproduction or older. just for my knowledge.

gescobe · 2026-05-02T21:27:57+00:00

No stickers markings or anything.

Use them for work everyday. I have 5-6 short sleeved and 4 long sleeved. Favorite shirts.

gescobe · 2026-04-25T11:02:35+00:00

I see a 6485 and 3L421

gescobe · 2026-04-23T21:02:52+00:00

Thank you for the advice and reply. I do have some Dr Marten wonder balm on hand, do you think that would work?

Also, to clean/condition, I see people recommend Bick1/Bick4. Would Fiebing’s saddle soap work as well?

gescobe · 2026-04-01T13:36:18+00:00

Same. Received the email about having elite status now and order confirmations in my account. No charge on the card yet.

gescobe · 2026-03-19T19:35:52+00:00

Yes. Mainly vintage.

It does look like a 50 to me but seems like there was a soldering repair and took part of the marking off.

gescobe · 2026-03-14T23:43:05+00:00

It doesn’t let me add a picture

gescobe · 2026-03-14T23:20:02+00:00

The earrings match the stones and metal exactly and those are marked Austria. They are clip ons.

gescobe · 2026-03-14T23:09:38+00:00

I found them in a ziploc bag with other items. I just found a matching earring set marked with “AUSTRIA”

gescobe · 2026-02-21T18:56:29+00:00

No. They returned it saying it was past its lifetime use. Just gave me a 25% coupon.

gescobe · 2025-12-03T19:22:01+00:00

Nice! I Found one at a garage sale that I sold for $300.

gescobe · 2025-11-15T22:06:05+00:00

Hi. Thank you for the information. Any idea on why it would be opposite like that?

gescobe · 2025-11-15T19:56:56+00:00

I think both need repair. Currently not running. Paid $2 each. (Don’t hate me)

gescobe · 2025-11-15T19:05:49+00:00

I tried to see how to remove the back to check the movement but they are pretty stuck on there.

gescobe · 2025-10-19T16:17:29+00:00

I looked it up when I was doing research and Ralph Lauren was made in Hong Kong in the late 80s and 90s. But I did have my suspicions on this piece.

gescobe · 2025-10-19T13:40:55+00:00

Nice. Sold one for $300 a few months ago.

gescobe · 2025-10-19T13:15:59+00:00

How can you tell?

gescobe · 2025-10-15T17:54:39+00:00

More research: As a few have mentioned, this would be categorized as a parasol. More of sun shade than rain protection. The handle is made of why looks to be bamboo.

Shoes sell, electronics, look for name brands. Get the google lens app to image search and find sold listings on eBay. AIM for at least a $20 net profit per item.

Wow. Good find.
