I AM CONSTANTLY ON A BUYING SPREE (MOSTLY ESTATE AND ANTIQUE AUCTIONS), SO I HAVE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF ITEMS TO LIST AS FAST AS I CAN.  ALL KINDS OF SMALLS AND LARGER ANTIQUES AND VINTAGE ITEMS.
I HAVE SOME MORE GOLD AND SILVER TO LIST NOW.  MOST ARE MARKED AS STERLING OR GOLD AND HAVE TESTED AS SUCH.  ALSO, MOST OF THE SILVER HAS AT LEAST SOME TARNISH OR PATINA ON IT.  I WILL LEAVE THE POLISHING TO THE TASTES OF THE NEW OWNER.  PLEASE NOTE:  EACH OF THESE ARE FROM
NON-SMOKING
SOURCES.
OK, SO I DON'T REALLY COLLECT VERY MANY THINGS, BUT DO TEND TO PUT BACK SOME STERLING ITEMS THAT I JUST FIND INTERESTING.  I'VE GOT SOME EXCESS BILLS TO PAY, SO I'M NOW LISTING ABOUT 30 ITEMS THAT COME STRAIGHT FROM MY YEARS LONG COLLECTION OF HAND SELECTED GOODIES.
IT'S NOT THAT THESE ARE ALL WORTH A TON OF MONEY, BUT THEY ARE ALL REALLY COOL ITEMS (AND I HATE TO SEE THEM GO).

HERE IS A VERY NICE VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE BAR BROOCH, WHICH I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVE WAS PROBABLY ALSO A SWEETHEART BROOCH FOR A UK (BRITISH) SOLDIER.  HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW THIS TO BE THE CASE, SO PLEASE USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT ON THIS.  THE CREST HAS THE UK COAT OF ARMS.
IT'S MARKED "STERLING" ON ITS BACK AND IT MEASURES APPROX. 3.75" WIDE.  IT SHOWS VERY LITTLE WEAR AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, OVERALL.
THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 16.15 GRAMS.
PLEASE NOTE:  I HAVE NATURALLY VERY DRY SKIN AND DEAL WITH CHEMICALS, SOLVENTS, SOAPS, ETC. ALL DAY LONG, SO SOMETIMES IT TAKES A TOLL ON MY HANDS.  I TRY TO WAIT TO TAKE PHOTOS UNTIL MY HANDS IMPROVED, BUT WITH THE BACKLOG OF GOODIES I NEED TO PHOTOGRAPH TO LIST, I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED AT THIS TIME.  I PERSONALLY CONSIDER IT TO BE A BIT UNPROFESSIONAL, BUT I JUST COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.  I HOPE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND AND I APPRECIATE YOUR BEARING WITH ME, DURING THE MEANTIME.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE:  I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN'T (AND DON'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM.  I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL.  BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED.  ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.  THANKS!
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION
.  PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.  ENJOY!
SHIPPING WILL BE
.50
INSURED USPS FIRST CLASS, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING
.
I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS.  IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A
RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
