Posted by: | Comments Comments Off

Interested in a  bargain? Ive put a few items of vintage jewellery up for sale on eBay with no reserve and a starting auction  price of 0.99p. These auctions will run for a week starting today February 20 1011.

The three items currently are:

  3 arts and crafts the guild buttons

 
 
 

The guild buttons

The guild buttons

Here are three pieces all stamped as “the guild button” on the reverse. These are silver plated and set centrally with Ruskin type pottery cabochons. As these are enclosed at the reverse I cannot determine for certain if they are Ruskin or another maker.
 
 
 

 

These all measures about 3.5 cms diameter. 

Condition: one of these has the fittings for a belt buckle A second was once a brooch but the pin is missing. The third would have been a hatpin but the pin is missing. Please do get in touch with me if you would like to see a reverse picture

  Silver gilt Masonic pendant or fob 1970s

 

Masonic pendant

Masonic pendant

A very unusual piece of Masonic jewellery which could be worn as a pendant or as a fob. This is silver gilt, silver with a gold coloured wash to give the appearance of gold. The reverse of this pendant / fob is fully hallmarked and the hallmarks date to 1976.

The center of the fob carries the Masonic emblem picked out in blue enamel. It measures about 2.5 cms wide . Currently this is attached to a matching silver chain which measures about 45 cms long. This piece of jewellery is quite substantial piece weighing about 12 grams.

Generally in excellent condition there is one pin prick nick to the enamel right at the point of the left hand side compass. This does not go all the way through the enamel and so it still displays as blue.

 I have more photos available so please do get in touch if you are interested

 

 

  Silver and enamel fob Leeds

 

Silver Fob

Silver Fob

A nice silver fob featuring what I believe is the city crest for Leeds with detail picked out in blue and black enamel. This silver fob carries full silver hallmarks on the reverse and these can be dated to 1934. The fob measures about 2.5 cms wide.
 

 

The makers initials J.W.T are also impressed in the reverse. The reverse is plain other than the makers mark and hallmarks.  This fob comes complete with O ring as you see in the picture.

Part two of my guide to buying antiques, vintage and collectables on eBay takes a look at how to find the special object you are looking for.

eBay literally has millions of items for sale and there are several ways you can look around:

  1. - Search
  2. - Browse
  3. - Have eBay notify you when a specific item becomes available

Today takes a look at their search facility, tomorrow the Browse option and on Monday I’ll look at setting up eBay to mail you when a rare item is listed.

Here are two searches to look at:
Simple – art nouveau tile
Complex – victorian 18 carat gold emerald ring to fit size M finger
