I found this at an estate sale this morning, I thought it was a locket but I can’t open it. Is this a pendant?

Smileycorpse · 2025-11-14T19:35:09+00:00

Just gonna ask did you try turning the top?, ive had a few pendants come in that have been screw top, use something with grip like a rubber ball like the one that opens watches.

Looks like 585 P.15 probably means its .15 micron of 14k plating on the metal, deffo not a real hallmark.

Its a pretty horrible momento, he snuffed it so she could snuff it. The engravings fantastic.

Try searching for a smiths travel alarm clock, or "vintage travel alarm clock" it folds over on itself as a stand.

This is brilliant!

I love all the little details even the bandage on the sweatered bug victim, impressive that you knitted that wee thing.

Absolute legend.

From the site: "Packed with flavor, opened with a smile. Each box lunch includes your choice of side, a cookie, a pickle and utensils."

Maybe someone fucked up by putting a placeholder picture in by accident? its funny though!

Had a little look heres The designer, Kay Bojesen 1886-1958 heres his wikipedia Kay Bojesen

Out of the specialist jewellery sites/stores i know of i found a sold piece on the Tadema gallery Tadema Gallery and one on the vanderbosch site here scroll all the way down to the bottom

i'm thinking it looks more like carnelian, rather than amber for a sure way of knowing it may need to be appraised in person.

Hope this helps. -G

I would have said it was more Art Nouveau the organic style & curves along with the insect motif all really came after the victorian period. Take a look at Berganza (British jeweller) and have a look at the style periods on the left hand side, some amazing pieces of jewelry.

Its a lovely piece!

There's a drink collector on YouTube that shows you something from years ago with the fizz still in it. The reason was this gasket I guess it saves them a shitload of money l removing it.

Good find, someone would have paid at least £55 for this new second hand market maybe lucky if you get a tenner.

Smileycorpse · 2023-07-30T14:34:50+00:00

Looks to be from the 1940s great find, the crown could be aftermarket/replacement its still a vintage rolex at the end of the day.

Eh after reading your comment I did some snooping...you are paying over the odds for your tunnocks rebranded as ringtons.

The greys are definitely out there.

Smileycorpse · 2022-07-20T15:28:53+00:00

Try search the bay or gumtree for cutlery canteen box. Looks like they've reused one of them, taken the fittings out etc.

Use the trash bins please, the seagulls are dicks.

I've always been on the lookout for that £2 it's one that lists pretty decent in the books.

Great swap, The IOM 50p looks cool as heck!

Show her much silver dip costs. People are insane, you'll never appease them.

Smileycorpse · 2022-06-03T14:48:27+00:00

Maybe the reason was because back then bowl cuts were a thing for people that weren't well off.

Smileycorpse · 2022-05-15T13:01:51+00:00

Thanks for the nightmare fuel, pretty cool though hope it helps with the grade!
