I jave one very similar that I found at a yard sale for $1. It was a touch lamp & that part didn't function. Replaced the wiring & added one of those switches that's a wheel. Work great. 22 years old, at this point.

My wife found something in a similar vein... we have a 4ft tall, massive (and ungodly heavy) red marble vase that sits in the center of our dining room table. She has to get on a ladder to change out her seasonal arrangement that she keeps in it. Picked it up for like $20.

Some people just don’t know or care what they have. We always have a twice yearly large item garbage pickup where we live and people go around finding their own treasures. One man’s trash, as they say. This year my husband, an audiophile, found speakers he says he can resell for $800, on the side of the road. He’s found other stereo equipment in the past and even a decent guitar.

Pottery industry is famous in Egypt, mugs, tea pots , sugar pots etc are familiar ,I have a set of clay pottery like this , they are very cool. In addition ,we used to keep water in clay containers different in size we call them " olla and zeer " our ancestors used them along their life as their ancestors,I think Egyptian use pottery since Pharaohs era. In addition we have clay pots for cooking rice in oven called " bram ",we also have " taagen" for cooking in oven.

For a dose of humorous insights into appraisals, see how creative captions transformed typical antique evaluations with a humorous twist by adding hilarious textual commentary.

I bought a tooled leather purse when I was like 8 years old for $2. It had the word ALASKA carved in the top flop and a ram over the entire back. It took a few years to realize that as an Aries, I'm a ram. So that was cool. It's been almost 30 years and it still looks good.
