SOLD Silson WW2 Gas Mask Figural Fur Clip - Britain Can Take It!

Jewelry : Vintage : Signed

 

You've got to love the sense of humor that the British managed to keep during all the bombings in World War II. This is a wonderful vintage fur clip in the shape of a gas mask! That's right: a gas mask figural. Signed Silson, it reads: Britain Can Take It on the canister part of the mask. On the back is "Bundles For Britain" and Silson. The metal looks like copper with deliberate greenish 'patches' showing through to make it look like wear and tear on the mask. It measures 2-3/4" high and the fur clip is tight. I've never seen another one like this!
