$68 USDStunning Antique Sterling Safety Money Clip
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Edwardian:Silver:Money Clip

$155 USDStunning Victorian Gloved Florentine Hand Brooch Holding a Coral Bead Chain
Jewelry:Antique:Florentine:Hand:Brooch
Circa mid to late 1800’s. The hand appears to be gloved and holding a coral bead chain. The finish is called florentine finish. The hand did not test gold. It is either pinchbeck, gold filled or rolled gold. There are several places on the back where others have tried to test for gold content so I'm not the only one that thought it was gold. The whole pin mechanism on the back including the c-clasp closure has been changed to a safety clasp. Also, I believe at one time the bar loosened that ...

$185 USDDainty Antique Victorian Silver Hankie or Glove Holder “Hand”
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:French Silver:Glove Holder:Handkerchief Holder:Hand
This is a very unique glove or hankie holder. It measures 2.5 inches. There are some hallmarks on the holder that I wasn’t able to identify.

Jewelry:Antique:Victorian:Hand
ATTENTION "HAND" COLLECTORS! Made about the 1870/80's. In very good condition. Made from a heavy plastic material. Appears to be all original however the t-bar pin is questionable.

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Ivory:Hand:Brooch
ATTENTION "HAND" COLLECTORS! C1880s. This is a very nicely carved ivory hand. It has such a lovely patina. I'm not sure what the hand is suppose to be carrying or what it signifies.

$245 USDElegant Elongated Antique Intricately Carved Ivory Hand Pendant
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Carved Ivory:Pendant:Hand
ATTENTION "HAND" COLLECTORS! Circa 1880/90’s. I had to giggle when I saw this. The formation of her fingers reminds me of someone that is telling her a funny little hard luck story and she is putting her two fingers together to make like she is playing a tiny violin (chuckle) I think originally there must have been something in her hand at one time but I'm not sure what. I thought at first a Stanhope but upon closer investigation I really don't think so. In very good condition. There are a few ...

$55 USDAntique Victorian Silver Locket Hollow Case
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Silver:Locket
This locket has engraving on the front. It is made like a watch case and since it is hollow on the inside maybe it did have a watch in it at one time. It is not marked but I am sure it is silver and not silver plate. There is a small dent on the front that could no doubt be worked out. Measures 7/8 by 1 3/8 (with loop) inches.

$210 USDUnusual Soulful Antique Victorian Brooch with Hand Holding Bird with Arrow Through Heart Mourning
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Mourning:Brooch:Vulcanite:Hand:Bird
ATTENTION "HAND" COLLECTORS! I haven’t been able to find the symbolism of the bird with the arrow through the heart. Possibly a broken heart. Maybe a lovers death. I believe it is made of Vulcanite (possibly gutta percha). There are three places along the edge of the brooch that don't appear to be chipped but appear to be a resin that has seeped from the material. You might be able to see this in the photo. It's a dark amber color. C-clasp closure. Circa 1870's. It measures almost 2.25 inches ...
$195 USDExceptional Brooch Depicting a Hand Holding Racket or Fan Horn Mourning
Jewelry:Antique:Victorian:Hand:Horn:Fan:Racket:Brooch
ATTENTION "HAND" COLLECTORS! C1870/80. These black pieces of jewelry were made out of many different kinds of materials, but I believe this one is probably made of horn. There are different opinions about the style of this pin. Some experts feel that because it is black it is a ‘mourning’ pin, and that it is a fan. Not all black jewelry is mourning however, so some experts feel it is a racket. In my opinion, because there is cross-hatching on the racket, and there appears to be a ball, and the ...

$366 USDAntique Victorian Intaglio Gold Watch Fob Wax Seal “Malgre` Tout” Shaking Hands
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Seal:Watch Fob:Gold
ATTENTION "HAND" & "FOB" COLLECTORS! This is a wonderful seal that has the words “Malgre` Tout” which means “irregardless” in French. The seal depicts two hands shaking within a circle. The stone has a smoky color to that of citrine or a smoky topaz. It appears that one end of the circle has a triangle head so I suspect it is meant to be a shake (eternity?).
