1940's radio!

Mrs. V. of "The Quiet Pleasures of Home" Posted about this recently, and I have been sitting here listening to it for the past few hours.

This is AWESOME!

It's like litterally stepping back in time, with vintage comercials too!!

I've had this nigh insatiable urge to dance! Even though I'm in the library... :D

Have fun listening!

Wonderfully old

An older lady at the Church was going through some of her 90+ yo mother's things. She must be trying to clear out some things because she brought me a whole bag full of vintage jewelry and hats and lace!!!

I only got pictures of some of the jewelry, a few select favourites. On opening the locket pictured below, I noticed a makers mark.

Now I've seen my fair share of "Antique's Roadshow" so I decided on a lark to google it. (The name was clearly printed as well as part of the mark)

I went down the list until the mark appeared and guess what??? It was dated 1945!!

I was so excited! So I jumped on the others to see if there was a mark printed on them.

This one did, it was the same company, so I figured to find a close date.

The mark was placed only two above on the list from where I found the one above.

My jaw dropped.

I showed my dad the mark on the necklace, then showed him the picture on the phone. He confirmed it, they were identical.

Can you take a wild guess at the date??

1919!!!

Can you imagine? I'm wearing (Athough fake costume jewelry) a necklace that some fashionable lady bought in 1919!!! The others weren't near as remarkable as these two, but I thought I'd share them anyways. :D

I'm still in shock, and I found all this out over a week ago!

Enjoy the pics!!
