c1878 EAPG Lion Glass Bowl and footed Compote

Gillinder pressed glass has been admired by collectors due to the remarkable detail in the carving and controlled acid etching of the molded designs. As early as 1873, the factory had utilized etching acids. “Lion” was the first of these characteristic patterns. Introduced after the Centennial, the “Lion” pattern was available with lions posed in differing positions as finials on covers. Called Lion No. 1, Lion No. 2, or New Lion, the combinations were the lion sitting, the lion attached to a log and the lion head alone. All of the lions were etched with acid but the bases differed. Some were designed with plain cable feet while others had a collared etched border of sitting lions.

Native American Style Necklace

Our Church Store is the central retail point for accumulative gifts from all over the Nashville area. I buy them to help move product and bring them to the internet as a fun hobby for me, This item was in their high end boutique case.
I cannot sell for less than my cost plus anticipated ebay fees and mailing costs,

This one looks bench-made with lots of metalwork on the pendant. I am not a gemologist or jeweler, nor do I have the tools to test materials or know how to use those tools if I had them, I just know what looks like quality made items.

I don't see a hallmark but it cleaned up like sterling and feels like sterling.
Maker unknown, place of manufacture unknown, Date unknown
I don't see any indication that this is plated,
The stones look like turquoise and carnelian (or some other reddish stone).
Under magnification, it looks like the stones are actually a mosaic of smaller chips of the stone material, put together like a puzzle inside the bezel shape of the stone.

It looks like some kind of inlaid symbolic design of perhaps copper metal in the center turquoise stone (see pics)
The attached fringe pieces look& feel like leather and are removable,
The silver metal choker can be sized to fit smaller or large necks and for comfort,

Rare 1928 Book "Album de Cinelandia" - Beautiful PHOTOS of HOLLYWOOD Movie STARS

The Golden Era of Hollywood and the “birth” of the industry…. This book has been conserved with border paper tape on the paper cover and a plastic conservation cover over the original heavy paper cover, There is a gold stamp on the plastic dust cover that says “From the Strand RARE BOOK ROOM Est. 1927”. I bought this book retail from an antiques dealer that buys "containers" of antiques from Europe so I am not sure how the item went from CA to NYC to Europe and then back to TN. inside pages are clean and no damage that I could see. I saw no missing pages and the text pages/photo pages are still in the bound state (not loose).

According to the internet, this is a collectible book

(From the internet - “The Strand Bookstore is a legendary staple of New York City, boasting 18 miles of new, used, and rare books. Founded in 1927, it is a hub of culture and literature, tucked away in the East Village. Though thousands of people filter into the store everyday, not many know that its top floor is occupied by rare and collectible books, many of which are exorbitantly priced.”)
