  Costume Pearl & Gold-Tone Brooch - Classic & Timeless

  4 saves, 22 days ago

  A classic and timeless brooch. Shiny white costume pearls cascaded and settled into double sensuous curves along the golden leaf. Truly elegant. Unsigned. Circa 1950's to 1960's, and possibly to the early 1970's due to the backing pattern. SIZE:  3" x 7/8" CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition. Pearls are costume, meaning imitation. They are shiny and white in color. We did not see any apparent nicks or scrapes with the naked eye to the pearls or metal. Under a 10x magnified jewelry loupe it appears that the maker put a nice clear coating on the pearls to protect them. We only noticed a few very tiny, tiny scuffs to the coating, but not to the color or pearls themselves. All pearls are original to the brooch. None replaced. The metal looks good condition under the loupe. Roll-over saftey clasp works well. Price: $34.00 20th Century Finds is an online vintage store at http://www.20thcenturyfinds.com. We are located in the San Francisco Bay Area and we ship worldwide.

  Pair of deeply-carved Bakelite dress clips - 20th

  3 saves, 26 days ago

  A pair of deeply-carved Bakelite dress clips in fantastic condition. It is getting harder and harder to find matching pairs of Bakelite dress clips, especially with the characteristics of this lovely pair. Circa 1920's to 1930's.

Again, a pattern and style you do not often see on the current collectors' market. SIZE: Each clip is 2" x 1" CONDITION: Excellent. Close-to-mint condition. No chips, nicks or cracks. Metal clip backs work well and are strong. Guaranteed Bakelite. Passed Simichrome test. Price below collectors' values.

  Early 20th Century Art Plastic Flower Brooch - 20th

  3 saves, 26 days ago

  Wonderful early 20th Century synthetic plastic flower brooch. Two flowers painted a shiny and silvery lavender color with brass button centers on a metal clip backing. Backing allows you to move the flowers a bit to create different arrangements. Nice addition or start to an 20th Century Art Plastic Jewelry collection. Has an earlier roll-over safety clasp. Estimate circa 1920's. Possibly 1930's. Brooch is unsigned. Great price for early plastic. SIZE: From flower tip to end of flower tip across, approx. 2-1/8 inches. Height of each flower is approx. 1-1/8 inches. Flowers have an approx. 1/4 inch depth, not including metal bar pin backing which would add another 3/16 of an inch in depth. CONDITION: Very good. No rust or other issues with metal parts. No missing petals. No chips or cracks on the flowers. All parts are original to the brooch. The pictures show the tiniest details, suchs as very minor wear to paint. Shine of the petals is very nice in person and detracts from any tiny worn spots, which are harder to notice in person already. Looks better in person than pictures reveal. Price: $25.00 20th Century Finds is an online vintage store at http://www.20thcenturyfinds.com. We are located in the San Francisco Bay Area and we ship worldwide.

  2 saves, 1 month ago

  Gorgeous Mid Century necklace. Knock them out with this stunner. Shiny, clear aurora borealis rhinestones sit above blue Lucite cabochons. Two colors of blue acrylic glass cabochons are used. Silver-tone setting. Tiny blue enamel painted petals crown the top of the cabochons. SIZE:  19-3/4" long. Adjustable down to a choker length of 15". Necklace band is appromately 1-1/8' to 1-1/4" thick at widest points. CONDITION: Very nice vintage condition. All stones and cabochons are original. None are missing. Color is even on all stones.

  Super groovy 1960’s wallet in a checkbook style. A very hip conversation piece. In blue and green with gold-tone accents. Includes coin purse, and place for bills and check book. Tri-fold. SIZE: 3-3/4” x 7-1/8” folded. Unfolded 11-1/4” x 7-1/8”. CONDITION: Excellent. Never used. Still has original pen, although due to its age the ink has naturally dried out. Does not include plastic pages for photographs as that type of clear plastic degrades and turns into an oil over time. We sold two similar wallets earlier this year on Etsy.
