Description
I recently obtained a very large volume of exceptional vintage jewelry. Designer signed, collectible and magnificent pieces from two private estate sales. The jewelry is in exceptional condition. High End, Designer, Juliana, D&E, Signed and fabulous unsigned pieces and sets. The jewelry is Mid-Century through retro.For your consideration: A magnificent vintage Celluloid plastic 1930-40s Sombrero Mexican Hat brooch with dangling liquor bottles with original leather covered cord strands. The cobalt blue celluloid hat is beautiful, translucent and is in amazing condition. This vintage brooch is unbelievably still intact and survived for 80 years, as it is very rare to find one with the original cords. The three celluloid liquor bottles are signed RUM, GIN, AND SCOTCH.
The color of the liquor bottles seem to be appropriately tinted for the specific spirits for which each is labeled: The Gin Bottle is Clear; The Rum Bottle is a nice Amber, and the Scotch Bottle is a very light Amber. The pin closes under a celluloid C clasp and works well.
Hallmarks: unsigned
Condition: Excellent antique vintage condition Cord has some slight wear ~ Age appropriate wear on celluloid hardly worth mentioning.
Measurements: 1 7/8" sombrero width and 3" long
The low opening bid does not reflect the value of the jewelry. I am always happy to combine shipping.
