$16 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Hand-Painted Wooden Sailor Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Pins:Brooches:Hand-painted:Sailor:Wood
This jaunty 1940's sailor pin has been cut with a jigsaw from soft pine. The sailor's face and clothing have been depicted with paint; black, yellow and white. Then the front of the pin was lacquered. The pin bar is glued to the back; it is black plastic with a metal pin and reads "patent pending." The pin is 3" tall, 2 1/4" wide, and 3/8" thick. It is in perfect condition.
$30 USD SaleSALE Hand-Wrought 800 Silver Pin or Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Pins:Brooches
This heavy, cast pin is beautifully finished by hand. The marks indicate a European country of origin, perhaps Italy or Austria. The simple safety catch is the style used between 1920 and World War II. There is the 800 mark, along with two other punch marks which remain unidentified, on the smoothly finished back. The pin is 2 1/2" long, 1" wide, and 3/16" thick. It has good weight and is in perfect condition.
$28 USD SaleSALE Brass, Glass, and Celluloid Bead Necklace

$165 USDBlack Celluloid Ring with Woman's Photograph
Jewelry:Vintage:Celluloid:Rings:Prison Rings:Photograph Rings
This 1920's ring is made of a black plastic, celluloid, popular then. Use of celluloid was discontinued by mid-century because of its flammability. This ring features a photograph of a woman about 30 years old with a marceled-wave hairdo. The ring is in perfect condition. It is a size 10; it was probably owned by a man. Who knows the story? Perhaps the ring is a memorial of a beloved wife who died in the influenza epidemic around 1920; your guess is as good as mine. These rings were made in ...
$21 USD SaleSALE Czech Necklace with Carved Bone Beads
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Necklaces:Beads:Czech
Dating from between 1920 and 1936, this Czechoslovakian bone, glass, and white metal bead necklace is rather unusual. The bone beads are carved into floral shapes and imitate the look of ivory.
