IF YOU LIKE VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE STUFF, PLEASE CONTINUE TO COME BACK OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS, AS I AM CONSTANTLY LISTING NEW ITEMS VIRTUALLY DAILY...

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEWEST VINTAGE & ANTIQUES COLLECTIBLES STORE -- "DALLAS VALLEY DISCOVERIES", OR EBAY ID: DALLASVALLEYDISCOVERIES, FOR MORE GREAT ITEMS...

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. ALL OF THESE ARE FROM NON-SMOKING SOURCES, UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.

I RECENTLY ATTENDED THE ESTATE SALE OF A FINE LADY WHO OWNED AN UPSCALE VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE (INCLUDING SOUTHWESTERN AMERICAN) JEWELRY) STORE, AND I WAS ABLE TO ACQUIRE QUITE A FEW FANTASTIC ITEMS THAT I AM NOW BE ABLE TO OFFER ON EBAY.

THIS WILL INCLUDE QUITE A FEW AUTHENTIC NATIVE AMERICAN ITEMS (TO INCLUDE: WATCH CUFFS; CUFFS; CUFF BRACELETS; BRACELETS; NECKLACES & PENDANTS; RINGS & MORE. IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE QUITE A FEW CAMEOS OF ALL TYPES (MORE THAN 50); MENS & LADIES WATCHES (INCLUDING GOLD ONES); AND LOTS OF SOLID GOLD (10K-14K-18K) JEWELRY (OF ALL TYPES) AND TONS OF COSTUME JEWELRY.

I'LL BE LISTING QUITE A FEW OF THE ITEMS THRU THIS EBAY STORE, AND MY WIFE WILL ALSO BE LISTING QUITE A FEW THRU HER EBAY STORE (https://www.ebay.com/str/dallasvalleydiscoveries).

OK, SO THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL ITEMS I'VE EVER BEEN ABLE TO LIST ON EBAY. THE BEST THAT I CAN GUESSTIMATE IS THAT THIS WAS LIKELY ORIGINALLY A HAND MIRROR. HOWEVER, PLEASE USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT ON WHAT IT REALLY MAY HAVE BEEN (ALTHOUGH I THINK THAT I'M RIGHT ABOUT THE MIRROR GUESS).

THE HANDLE IS A VERY LIGHTLY GREEN JADEITE TYPE COLOR, BUT IT DOESN'T TEST TO BE QUITE AS HARD AS JADE DOES, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT'S MADE OF. IT MEASURES APPROX. 3 3/16" (JUST THE VISIBLE PART OF THE STONE HANDLE). THE "METAL" PARTS SHOWS LOTS OF EVIDENCE OF BEING HAND TOOLED AND CREATED.

FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, I BELIEVE IT'S MADE OF SOLID BRASS, WHICH WAS THEN SILVER PLATED (ONCE ITS CREATION WAS COMPLETED). THE TURQUOISE DOTS DO APPEAR TO BE ALL NATURAL, AS WELL.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

PLEASE NOTE: ALL OF THE "ABOVE" IS MY BEST GUESSTIMATE ABOUT WHAT THIS IS; HOW OLD IT IS; AND WHAT IT'S MADE OF. HOWEVER, I DO HAVE A "SECOND OPINION" (ALSO MINE). IF I'M WRONG ABOUT IT BEING VICTORIAN, IT'S ALSO AT LEAST POSSIBLE THAT IT WAS MADE IN THE TRIBAL REGIONS OF SOUTHERN ASIA (MIDDLE EAST). IT DOES HAVE SOME BUILD CHARACTERISTICS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO SOME PIECES I'VE ACQUIRED FROM THAT AREA.

AGAIN... PLEASE USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT ON ALL OF THIS, SINCE I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE, EITHER WAY (I DON'T THINK THERE IS A THIRD OPTION, BUT IF YOU DO THINK OF ONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW).

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

LASTLY (AND WHICHEVER WAY IS CORRECT), IT DOES SHOW SOME WEAR AND AGING, BUT IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION OVERALL (OTHER THAN THE MISSING MIRROR, OF COURSE).

PLEASE 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 $5.25 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!
