ALL KINDS OF SMALLS AND LARGER ANTIQUES AND VINTAGE ITEMS. I HAVE SOME MORE GOLD AND SILVER TO LIST NOW.
MOST ARE MARKED AS STERLING OR GOLD AND HAVE TESTED AS SUCH. ALSO, MOST OF THE SILVER HAS AT LEAST SOME TARNISH OR PATINA ON IT. I WILL LEAVE THE POLISHING TO THE TASTES OF THE NEW OWNER. ALL OF THESE ARE FROM NON-SMOKING SOURCES , UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.
THESE NEXT COUPLE DOZEN (or MORE) GOODIES ALL CAME FROM A SINGLE DECADES LONG COLLECTION. FROM A GENTLEMAN THAT JUST ADMIRED REALLY HIGH QUALITY ITEMS (GOLD, SILVER, GUNS, COINS & MORE), MOST OF WHICH WAS AT LEAST VINTAGE, BUT MUCH OF THEM WERE ANTIQUE. "THEY" WERE RIGHT, WHEN THEY SAID YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, SO THESE ITEMS ARE NOW BACK ON THE MARKET! THESE LOTS HAVE MOSTLY VINTAGE SOUTHWESTERN PIECES, INCLUDING BOLO TIES, NECKLACES, LOTS OF CUFF BRACELETS, BELT BUCKLES, CUFFLINKS AND MORE. I'LL SOON BE LISTING OTHER SOUTHWESTERN PIECES FROM THIS ACQUISITION, INCLUDING EARRINGS, NECKLACES, PENDANTS, RINGS, ETC.BUT I'M GETTING TO THEM AS FAST AS I CAN. PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME OF THESE ARE FROM NATIVE AMERICAN ARTISANS, AND I'LL POINT THOSE OUT, PER LISTING (AS APPLICABLE). I SUSPECT THAT MANY MORE ARE ALSO FROM THESE ARTISTS, BUT NOT ALL OF THE PIECES ARE SIGNED, SO PLEASE USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT ON THIS. LASTLY, MANY/MOST OF THESE ITEMS ARE NOT MARKED FOR THEIR SILVER CONTENT, BUT IF I SAY THAT THEY ARE STERLING SILVER, THEN THEY ARE GUARANTEED TO BE SO (TESTED). ALSO, QUITE A FEW OF THESE HAVE OLD PRICES ON THEM (WRITTEN IN BLACK INK ON THEIR BACKS), SO I HAVE LEFT THOSE MARKS FOR YOU TO DECIDE ON WHETHER OR NOT TO RUB OFF.
THESE ARE TYPICALLY MORE COLLECTIBLE WITH THESE OLD PRICES ON THEM (JUST AN FYI). THESE NEXT 18 LOTS ALL HAVE VARIETIES OF CUFF BRACELETS, WITH ELEVEN COMING FROM THIS SINGLE ACQUISITION, AND THE OTHER SEVEN FROM SEVERAL OTHER SOURCES. PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF THESE WILL BE AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT BENT'OUT-OF-ROUND' (or AT LEAST THEY WON'T BE 100% PERFECTLY ROUNDED, AS THEY ONCE ORIGINALLY WERE), BUT THIS IS VERY COMMON ON VINTAGE CUFF BRACELETS.
PLEASE REVIEW THE PHOTOS FOR THESE COMMONALITIES. I'LL BE LISTING THESE WITH THEIR "INTERIOR" MEASUREMENTS, MEANING THAT I'VE MEASURED THEM FROM SIDE TO SIDE (FROM ONE INSIDE'WALL' TO THE OTHER) x THE INSIDE OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CENTER THAT'S THEN MEASURED TO AN "IMAGINARY" LINE THAT WOULD EXIST IF THE CUFF BRACELET WAS A'WHOLE' BRACELET. AS SUCH, THESE MEASUREMENTS WILL ALL BE APPROXIMATE ESTIMATES OF THE SIZE ON THESE. HERE IS AN AWESOME GIRL'S (or SMALLER LADIES) STERLING SILVER CUFF BRACELET.
1 15/16" x 1 1/2" INTERIOR MEASUREMENTS (SEE NOTES ABOVE IN THE " PINK " PARAGRAPH) x APPROX. 1/2 WIDE ON THE TOP OF THE BRACELET (MAX POINT).
IT HAS WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A DEEPER GREEN TURQUOISE (NATURAL) STONE INLAY AND IT ALSO HAS QUITE A FEW DETAILS THAT ARE REMINISCENT OF THE STYLES THAT WERE MADE FAMOUS IN THE FRED HARVEY ERA (BUT I'M NOT 100% SURE HOW OLD THIS ONE IS). I ALSO DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL THE DESIGNS ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF.
IT'S PRETTY RARE FOR ME TO FIND ONE OF THESE TYPES (DESIGNS) OF CUFF BRACELETS THAT ARE MADE OF STERLING SILVER (IT'S MARKED "STERLING" ON ITS UNDERSIDE). THE LAST DOZEN +/- THAT I'VE FOUND HAVE BEEN MADE OF NICKEL SILVER (WHICH HAS NO ACTUAL SILVER IN IT), BUT THIS ONE IS 92.5% PURE SILVER (EXCEPT FOR THE STONE, OF COURSE).THE BRACELET SHOWS VERY LITTLE WEAR AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, OVERALL. THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 8.40 GRAMS. I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL. BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED.
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
