Treasure Tuesday's Fabulous Thrift Store Find

    

Was on my way out the door of a favorite Goodwill store when I got a feeling to go look in a jewelry care I forgot to check out.  I was tired and almost left when I remembered never to ignore my thrifter-intuition.

I scanned the case and noticed something interesting in the bottom corner.  I could see that it was equestrian-themed since the design is based on a horse bit.  Soon as I flipped it over there were the beautiful words GUCCI Italy staring back at me.

1970's nickel and brass GUCCI horse bit picture frame.

Quick pic I took while standing in line to pay.

 $29... how could anyone say no to GUCCI at that price.

This is the only other example I could find of this frame so one would assume it's fairly rare.  $4,500 is the dealer's asking price.  My $29 purchase price makes this a most Fabulous Find.
