Just had to share this find with my junking friends.......found this piece at one of my favorite thrift shops and paid $1.99 for it..........well, while scrubbing it up i uncovered a date on one of the handles "1910"........can you believe it,,,,,,,,99years old!!!

I added some ribbon and an earring, and used a rub-on for the word.

This is really beautiful. Great inspiration for me.
You can't beat a great piece of silver. I sure wish
I could hold up as good as this piece for 99 years.
Great style. Thanks again.
