The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[sliq]

Don't think I posted this one up, this was an old find. My neighbour from 3 streets away listed this on FB Marketplace. I'd walked past his house many a times but never said hi.

After a couple of messages I walked over, expecting it to be silver.. looked inside the band:

Pt950

Don't wanna know the story behind giving away a Tiffany platinum wedding band

But great find for you, @sliq !

Grabbed this stool/chair off marketplace for $15...thinking 40s-50s. Built like a tank weighs about 30 pounds. Height bolt was rusty but got it unseized..love the look of these industrial design items.

Gotta be a heartbreaking story behind this.

Still mostly dry on the clothing front. Some vintage single stitch shirts here, a decent tie or jacket there. But, managing to pick up some nice vinyl and some pretty awesome signed books.

Anyone familiar with this label/line? I can’t find anything online. No other labels on the coat, just goretex branding

Cool icon, paint on wood, looks old. Anyone recognize this here angel, or the script up top? I can't even tell if that is Cyrillic, or what. Maybe Greek or Russian.

The face, and really all of it is well done for a Byzantine style icon.

Back side, holes look recent. Remnant label.

My Cyrillic is non-existant, and my knowledge of Eastern Orthodox icons is almost as bad, but I'd guess one of the archangels. Perhaps Gabriel? The first letter there translates to G.

I think you are correct on the ID, thanks. Or more precisely, I sent a picture to my BIL who is a Deacon, he also says it is Archangel Gabriel. Russian Cyrillic. Kind of fits, picked up from a local Polish engineers' estate.

I like it well enough, will make a nice wall hanger.
