925 SILVER SLIDE BRACELET WITH INLAY HEARTS SLIDES
Jewelry : Fine
Lin's Antiques and Collectibles 
J1042 $100.00
This listing has a gorgeous bracelet that I purchased at a Tennessee antique shop many years ago! The bracelet is slide style – 2 chains – with 8 heart shaped slides. Between each heart are 2 round silver spacer beads. The fold-over clasp is marked 925 Thailand.
When I purchased this bracelet, I was told the hearts were turquoise and black onyx – I have not had this verified by a jeweler but they appear to be turquoise and onyx.
Bracelet measures 7 1/2" end to end. The... Click for details

Franklin Porter hand wrought sterling shotglass
Silver : Sterling : Hollowware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver 
2322 $110.00
height 2; top diameter 1 3/4 inches, weight 2.4 Troy ounces, no monogram, marked as shown in third enlargement, some very minor insults to foot but fine overall condition.
As mentioned elsewhere on these pages, Porter's work is of inconsistent quality. Here, the soldering is a bit sloppy and the hammering is rather random. So let's just consider that part of the charm, if we may.
