BACCARAT CRYSTAL E. REMY MARTIN COGNAC LOUIS XIII DECANTER
(FRANCE / CIRCA 1950'S TO 1960'S)
This is gorgeous! I found this at a yardsale for $2 and I sold it twice. The first time I sold it the man said he only wanted the stopper. So I sold the stopper for $58. Then I reposted the bottle without the stopper and I scored another sale of $53. This was an awesome double sale. Wow! That is one of my best deals!

Orange Carved Bakelite Bracelet Bought $15 Sold ~$29
Another beautiful bakelite bracelet in a subtle transluecent orange heavily carved. The carving is of flowers and leaves and the bracelet is heavy to the hand yet light on the wrist and makes a unique clanking bakelite sound when paired with another bakelite bracelet. This is a one of a kind beauty!
