1B - RARE LINCOLN MOURNING - MEMORIAL PHOTO HAIR
BRACELET
SOLD The bracelet is 1" wide beautifully woven human hair. This was a
common form of jewelry in the 1800's. On top, the hair joins gilt
brass fittings which hinge to the center piece, a framed miniature oval
photo portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Upon close minute examination,
the picture is either a miniature tintype or an albumen print, but in
either case it is unusually sharp for such a small image. I have
not removed the glass to inspect further...the glass is beveled and
possibly at one time it was removed to inspect the photo to ensure it
was genuine. In my opinion, there is no question as to its
authenticity. The rear shows no signs of manipulation. Clasp
has safety chain. The bracelet is 3" end to end as measured in its flat
position, shown in the first photo. Overall shows some wear but is
still fine. A very rare and genuine antique Lincoln bracelet.
$795
3B - WWII 38th DIVISION BRACELET AND CHAIN PIN
Extremely fine, hand made 38th Division/U.S.A. bracelet and chain
pin. Segmented arms and contoured top with applied enamel unit
insignia. Included with bracelet is matching, commercially
made chain pin with unit insignia, one which says "FIT TO FIGHT".
This unit saw extreme combat in the Pacific. Bracelet is 9"
long end to end, and the pin is 2 5/8" long end to end.
$75
4B - WWII SILVER SWEETHEART ENGINEER'S CASTLE BRACELET
This is a very beautiful and substantial piece featuring a large
engineer's castle with ribband above with engraved name "FRANK".
A light blue "gem" is set in the middle (has a very small chip off
lower right corner, hard to see). The arms are stacked studs
which together, simulate the look of a wall. This is done in
835 silver, stamped "835" on the back. Very fine.
Difficult to open once the tab is put in; it's very tight. One
of the most impressive we've handled. 7 1/4" long.
$75
5B - KOREAN WAR PERIOD PILOT I.D. BRACELET Has expansion bracelet, just as found on a watch. Panel on
top is not engraved. Has small silver pilot wing affixed. Very
good condition, with some minor flaking of the surface finish on the
band, one one side next to the panel. The rear of the panel is
marked "NICKEL SILVER". Markings, in part, on the rear
of the band are "JAPAN/STAINLESS STEEL" and patent numbers. $20

SOLD
Gold plated. Oval stamped "AIR CORPS U.S.A." over pilot
wing, over "JOE H. GRAY JR". The rear shows some wear-thru of
gold. Standard chain and clasp. 8" long end to end.

7B - WWII G.I. SIGNAL CORPS BRACELET
Hand made aluminum link bracelet with super, enameled Signal Corps
insignia at the center. Has original owner's name "G.
ANDERSON", home town "ESPIRITO SANTO N.H.", and date "NOV. 1944"
lightly engraved on rear. Very nicely made. 6 3/4" long
end to end. $35
8B - STERLING SILVER & FIRED ENAMEL SWASTIKA BRACELET
Back side of planchet is marked "STERLING" along with three heart
shaped touch marks P & B. Against a silver ringed royal blue
fired enamel backing, there is a red swastika. Flanked on each
side are delicate rococo and geometric designs. Made as a
slip-on. Very fine. Shows some minor wear. The
marks are an American company called Paye & Baker Mfg. Co., North
Attleboro, Massachusetts. It's possible the bracelet was
custom made for a member of the German American Society or American
Nazi Party during the 1930's in the United States. It could
also be a quality piece made in the early 1900's with the swastika
symbol as it was originally used, before it became associated with
the Nazi's. We will leave it up to you to decide. It is
a lovely piece of antique jewelry. $275
