This is one of the many of my favorite pieces. This is a goldtone crown with red, white, lime, and blue enameling on it. Along the bottom edge of the crown it says “CORONATION GEORGE VI”. On the back it reads “COMMEMORATING CORONATION SHIPMENT CUTTY SARK BLENDED SCOTS WHISKY” and below that “MAY, 1937". This is a wonderful old commemorative pin that is 70 years old!

This is a wonderful old yellow-goldtone bar pin that has textured designs on the front. The center is a pink-goldtone bird preparing to land and green-goldtone palm tree. These pins usually had gold content, and judging on the rich color of these piece, this one has gold content as well. The back has the old hinged pin on it and is a C-clasp. The hinge is in great working condition and shows NO signs of ever having been repaired, which is unusual because pins of this type usually have had the hinge soldered back on. This is a wonderful old pin, probably from the turn of the century, and is great vintage condition.

This is one of the cutest pieces I have seen. This dress clip is done in a silvertone metal that is very heavy. The top of the dress clip is a open diamond-shape with a policeman blowing a whistle on it. Hanging from the diamond-shaped clip are 5 people dangling from chains. They are a mail carrier, shoe shine boy, girl on roller skates (maybe from the drive-in diners), a paperboy, and an organ grinder. These little figures are all 3 dimensional and nicely detailed. Based on the professions of each and thier outfits, I believe this fur clip is 1950c. I tried to take pictures to show the dimensions of these little figures because they really are amazing. The top part of the clip measures 1 3/8". Each person measures approximately 1". Overall, pin hangs 3 1/8". The fur clip is in good working condition and is still tight. I find nothing wrong with this fur clip other than the fact that the designer never put his labdl on this piece. An absolutely wonderful work of art.
