Gold Filled Watch Pin - Royce

Grandma doesn't know much about watches, but thought this lovely watch pin is just lovely! It is a gold filled watch pin with the dangling watch below, all 1/20th 12kt gold filled. The watch has a heavy crystal face - it looks like the entire upper half of the watch case is actually lucite. The watch face is a pretty coppery color. It has a separate second hand on its own dial.

REDUCED Gold and Silver Enamel Mesh Purse

$164 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED Gold and Silver Enamel Mesh Purse

The fine chain mail links are silver tone and gold tone, with wide bands of the two colors alternating to form a chevron pattern. This design continues down into the fringe trim at the bottom of the bag. The bag measures about 4 x 7", and appears to be in excellent condition with no loss ...

REDUCED Black Crocheted Bag - Purse

$37 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED Black Crocheted Bag - Purse

Collectibles:Vintage:Purses
Its always hard to be sure of the age on items like this - it could date anywhere from the Victorian Era to mid 20th century. Stylistically, it could easily be victorian, but the material is supple and it is in fantastic condition, which suggests the later vintage. Our source told us it is victorian, and the estate from which we received it did indeed have many items of that age. The bag is hand crocheted out of a medium thickness thread, and has a woven-in tie at the top. It has a design of a ...
