Vintage Gettysburg Monument souvenir

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 15:18:59 -0500

$4.00
This unique vintage piece is what I believe to be the top of a souvenir box based on the two tubes soldered on the back which look to be part of a hinge. The front has an intricate raised design depicting Gettysburg, PA monuments; Pennsylvania State, High Water Mark and Soldiers. The metal has an oxidized look with aged gilded accents.

Add it to your collection of memorabilia, or recycle it into a pendant, ornament, etc.

Measurements:
1.25" by 3.25" (3.2 cm by 8.3 cm)

Vintage Siam Brooch

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 14:50:03 -0500

$10.00
This is an unusual piece of Siam jewelry in that it enameled in vibrant red and yellow instead of black nielloware. The pin features an intricately etched boat scene on red, surrounded by bright yellow leaf border. The round shape is slightly domed and the edge is cut out around the leaf shapes.

I am unsure if this piece is sterling silver as it is only stamped "SIAM" on the back but it looks like it could be and the silver details were slightly tarnished before I buffed them with a polishing cloth.

Condition: Excellent

Measurements:
1 7/16" (3.6 cm)

Limoges scalloped rose plate

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 15:35:05 -0500

This lovely vintage porcelain plate features a border of pink roses and lavender ivy with a cluster of flowers in the center. The edge is scalloped and accented with gold. It is stamped on the back "Elite Works. Limoges. France"

Condition: Very good- I can feel a teeny tiny (and I mean tiny) chip on the underside of the rim but it is not visible from the front.

Measurements:
8" (20.3 cm)

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:46:21 -0500
