Antique Victorian Gold Filled Fleur de Lis Watch Pin w Hook for Fob
Women's 1880 to 1910 gold fill plate pocket watch brooch with tis original Victorian C-clasp intact. Size is 1" by 9/16". It has an old, old silver metal hook; since it is silver it was likely added in the 1920s in order to hold a watch with a fob. It is strong and secure. Other than needing a polishing and having a very, very tiny indent (not seen when worn) it is in excellent overall condition. The gold filled has a lot of age patina from being in an estate untouched for so many decades. This is a very, very lightweight and easy to wear pin. Looks and weighs a lot like Victorian to Edwardian pinchbeck.
1940s Handkerchief Group 4 World War 2 WW2 Hankies
1940s Handkerchief Group 4 World War 2 WW2 Hankies - This is a group of 4 ladies hankies from the 1940s sent home to sister from soldier. They are all silk taffeta. Sorry for the photo glare. The only one with any age discoloration is the purplish gray one. All of the others have good even color. They are from an estate from years ago where they have been put away for many decades. Two are embroidered AAE which I assume is American Air Force. None have any tears or holes. Both the blue one and the pink one have lost their AAE and the blue one lost its star. Other than needing the AAE stitched back into the handkerchiefs this group was kept in very good condition. Photos show you each full side of each individual handkerchief.
