About 20-25 years ago i was clearing out a property in San Francisco to prepare it to be listed for sale. In the garage i saw a big pile of old suitcases--they were all super heavy. Opening 1 I saw that it was filled with what looked costume jewelry---some clearly older, some looked contemporary. I didn't have the bandwidth to deal with it all but couldn't face throwing it all out so after finding out that no one involved in the property gave a damn about any of it, i put it all in my own storage place. And there it sat...and sat. Recently, after the whole "end of the world thing" started, i found myself with the time to go through it all. I put things in piles based on categories of my own making. This may or may not make sense but since I'm selling them all as lots i sure hope it does! A few things: Unless i make mention of it there are no obviously broken pieces in here. There wasn't much like that but i didn't include it. I tried to make sure that i only put as many items in each auction as could be pictured properly in the 12 photos they give you. So i may not have much in the way of description for you. Just look at the pictures closely. Oh and yes, I will combine shipping as best as i can-and no, i don't do BIN.
#96- 118   Next, I've decided to dive into the pile of stuff that was in a big suitcase labeled "sterling". About 25% of this pile though was in a bag that someone had labeled "Unmarked Sterling"...So i had learn about all of that. Got a magnet, some bleach, and some silver acid test stuff. Tested as many pieces as i could face testing.  Btw, some the pieces from this pile say Hencho En Mexico, some just Mexico. By Unmarked i just mean no .925 that i can find.  So- i will put all of the Unmarked silver stuff up first and hopefully you collectors/resellers will know your silver enough to know how to bid for these lots.
Unless otherwise noted i believe that all items in the lot are sterling, based on my non-expert analysis. Please just let me know if i turn out to be wrong about anything. I'm an honest seller.
#118   This is a lot of 26 Vintage Silver rings.  One says Burt Cassell 12K GF. One was mine and was made for me about 35 years ago by an artist in British Columbia named Gilbert Pat with whale and bear engravings signed by artist. One with the blue and white stone is marked sodalite on the back I would say that (at least) 18 of these are sterling.
