1925 NEW YORK TELEPHONE CO SERVICE BRACELET BELL SYSTEM

CIRCA 1925-30 GOLD PLATED NY TELEPHONE COMPANY 25 YR. SERVICE BRACELET WITH EARLY WINGED BELL LOGO BENEATH 'NYTCO' MONOGRAM ON 10K PENDANT WITH SIMULATED DIAMOND. 7" BRACELET SHOWS SOME BRASSING WEAR-THROUGH OF THE PLATING, AND THE PENDANT BALE IS ALSO VERY WORN: IT'S OBVIOUS SOME FAITHFUL FEMALE EMPLOYEE WORE THIS WITH PRIDE FOR MANY YEARS AFTER WORKING FOR NEW YORK'S EARLIEST TELEPHONE EXCHANGE (SHE WOULD HAVE STARTED IN 1900!). THE BELL WITH WINGS LONG-DISTANCE LOGO IS RATHER TOUGH TO FIND AMONG BELL SYSTEM TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COLLECTIBLES AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW IF YOU'RE READING THIS AUCTION. THE PENDANT IS MARKED ON BACK 'LGB 10K'; THE STONE HAS NO FLAWS SO IT MUST BE A PRETTY HARD CRYSTAL TO HAVE SURVIVED SO WELL AFTER ALL THESE YEARS WITHOUT THE SAME WEAR AS THE BRACELET, BUT I TESTED IT WITH A LASER AND IT ISN'T A GENUINE DIAMOND. NOTE ALSO THE ORIGINAL SWIVEL HINGE CLASP- THEY WERE ALREADY OUT OF STYLE BY THE THIRTIES. BY THE WAY, THE COMPANY ITSELF IS STILL AROUND BUT WE KNOW THEM BY ANOTHER NAME TODAY: VERIZON. A RATHER UNIQUE PIECE OF AMERICAN COMMUNICATIONS HISTORY- GRAB THIS ONE WHILE YOU CAN!

ALL COINS AND JEWELRY GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC AS DESCRIBED. I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE WINS, IF YOU WAIT FOR MY INVOICE. PAYPAL PAYMENT DUE IMMEDIATELY AFTER AUCTION CLOSE PLEASE. GOOD LUCK, THANKS FOR BIDDING, AND BE SURE TO CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE GREAT COLLECTIBLE COINS & UNUSUAL U.S. MEMORABILIA!
