Vintage CUFF LINK/TIE BAR SET Orig.Box-"VAN GUARD"-FISHERMEN!
This is a GORGEOUS VINTAGE 3 PIECE SET OF MEN'S JEWELRY, INCLUDING 1 PAIR OF CUFF LINKS AND 1 TIE BAR IN THE ORIGINAL "VAN GUARD" BOX! This beautiful group is GOLD TONE metal, with REVERSE PAINTED GLASS INTAGLIO, RELIEF CARVED, DEPICTING FISHERMEN AGAINST A CREAMY, SHIMMERING MOTHER OF PEARL BACKGROUND.A rare find, this set will surely make a fabulous addition to your Collection, for Use, or as a gift for a Fisherman in your life!
While some photos make the Mother of Pearl background look yellow-ish, it is NOT yellow. It may have some darkening from age, but very very light..and NOT yellow. If you notice, this yellow photo flaw, is seen on the other pieces in some of the photos as well. These show some age wear on small bits of the metal, but it does not diminish the sheer beauty of the COMPLETE SET, IN IT'S ORIGINAL BOX with the original price of $7.50! The box shows moisture marks and is dirty, but still has the lovely satin, in good condition and the box does work just fine.
The scene is just amazing and the brilliant, aqua water shows peaks of waves that reach out to you! The fish shows stunning coloration, even tiny red dots can be seen on the gills. Even the splash, made when the fish is caught on the fisherman's hook, is detailed and realistic, with raised design. These are an amazing vintage find!
The Tie Bar MEASURES 2" FROM THE ITAGLIO TO OPPOSITE END. The INTAGLIO portions are approx. 2" WIDE and .75" TALL. Each of the 3 pieces is marked with an impressed/engraved "VAN GUARD" mark on the reverse side. *Please advise if you want your parcels insured PRIOR to making payment, as it is no longer offered as a choice on invoices.

I run my Ebay business by myself, which means ONE woman takes the photos, writes the listings, purchases the items and ships them all out. *I only ship ONE DAY A WEEK, normally on SATURDAY, and pack all items on FRIDAY. *This tells you that if your item is not paid for by the early evening, on the prior Thursday, your things will not go out for another week. I do my very best to try and ship them earlier, if at all possible, but normally, unless asked for prior to bidding, I don't make more than one day available to ship. If you need rush delivery, PLEASE ASK ABOUT IT, PRIOR to bidding! *Please keep in mind, I cannot control what happens with your package once it leaves my hands. This is why I recommend Insuring EVERY item you purchase.
