My best was a Fulper Vase with the incised mark,not the paper label,got it for $16.00,my dad was not impressed;)
One of my best husband’s finds was at a firehouse auction. All of “big dealers” laughed when my husband paid $450 for this vase. It happened to be a Zsolnay Pecs Art Nouveau vase that went to auction in David Rago’s auction & sold for 10 grand. My husband can look into a box & come up with something odd that I would think was trash but it turns out to be worth money. He found a hood ornament for 50 cents & sold it for $175 on ebay. He has so many good finds that I can’t remember all of them.
