Vintage Men's 14 K Yellow Gold "Nugget" Money Clip

This listing is for a vintage estate man's money clip in a "nugget" style.  This piece was hand made and the top is reticulated (pierced).  It is 2 1/8" long, 3/4" wide and weighs a substantial 23.5 grams (15.1 dwt).  Please see all of the pictures for the details of this piece.  There is a monogram on the back of the clip R.J.K.  This could possibly be removed by a jeweler.  This piece is hallmarked on the back of the clip 14 K and is signed by the maker above the hallmark with what looks like ANG inside of a "tower".  The tower may also be a large L.  I am not interested in selling this item for scrap so please bear that in mind if you intend to make an offer.  I am looking for at least full gold value or higher.

CONDITION:  This is a vintage used estate item so it is not brand new.  It does appear to be in very good condition with some small, light surface scratches on the back of the clip which could be buffed out.

UNITED STATES SHIPPING:  Please note.  This item will be shipped from Kadena Air Base in Okinawa Japan (we are military and stationed here).  Shipping to the United States is considered domestic mail and shipping will be $4.50 for first class mail with signature confirmation (domestic only).  It will take longer than normal for it to arrive (possibly up to 2 weeks).  If this is a problem, please do not bid.  Once I post the item, I have no control over how long it will take to get there.  Sometimes it gets there in less than a week, and other times, much longer.  I can also ship this item from Canada after 2/05/10 (will be in Canada for 3 months), but there could possibly be duties or taxes (which are determined and collected by U.S. Customs Service) which would be the buyer's responsibility. 

For Canadian buyers, I can ship this item from within Canada after 02/05/10 (will be in Canada for 3 months) for about $6.00 with delivery confirmation.  

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:  Will pay actual shipping costs.  I can ship this item from the United States or Canada (after 2/5/2010).  From the US, it will be shipped Priority Mail International which is approx. $28.00 to most countries.  It is quite a bit less shipping from Canada.  Please email me for a shipping quote before bidding (I will need your city & country).  Please check customs regulations for your country to ensure that you can import this item into your country.  International buyers are responsible for any customs or duty fees where applicable.  These fees are set and collected by YOUR country and are not a part of the shipping costs.  I am not responsible for any customs delays -- I have no control over how long it will take for your item to clear customs in YOUR country.  Please do not ask me to falsify customs documents.
