15lb Solid Piece of Petrified Wood

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Excellent
Description

 I've been trying to identify, but this is solely an amateur's impression based on what I discovered on the internet.  It looks to have wide rays and uniform "tracheids" which (if I'm correct) would mean that it is a vesseless hardwood.  The markings and coloration are beautiful and I'm trying to get my hands on a more powerful magnifying glass to see what I can find. ;0)

Antique Trombone Clasp 18K with Jade

Category
Jewelry and Gemstones
Condition
Excellent
Description

This detialed brooch with it's green stones (may be jade as the stones do not scratch) has a unique vintage Trombone clasp on the back.   It has no hallmarks, but acid tests as 18K gold and I don't think it is plated-but haven't done a scratch test yet.  I purchased it in a lot with a bunch of other antique jewerly and didn't think to test it because of the discoloration of the metal - which cleaned up using silver polish/dip. I have been researching lately and found that very old gold can actually discolor in a similar fashion. That combined with the Trombone clasp has me concerned that this could actually be solid gold, estate jewelry worth thousands.

My Grandfather was very secretitive about this dresser. It has two drawers on top, single drawer next, and finally three faux drawers that cover the turntable. Once the turntable is turned, there are hidden corner shelves in back. The turntable itself has two shelf areas for bottles and bar supplies.
