Great gift for a new mother!!

FYI

Aunt Nancy loved Silver… especially bracelets: Bangles, Chains, Charm Bracelets, plus Charms... and we inherited a lot of them - from her collections, as well as a huge old inventory from her Gift Shop, The Little Red Hen, now gone (circa 1940s to 1980s).. She often made custom charm bracelets for customers who loved her Retro post WW2 shop===  She also loved sterling bracelets, necklaces, pins, brooches... And great Mid-Century costume jewelry... Now moving forward some of the beautiful pieces that no one in the family claimed or wanted, see our other auctions for other sterling — inc. hollowware: salt cellar dishes, dips, standing salts, serving spoons, other flatware, too
