Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

[Lucky Strike]

I haven't posted any of my findings for a while, but now I have finally gotten hold of a camera with a better makro function than my old one, so here goes:

These three are very nice - reminds me of vintage Georg Jensen. Any hallmarks?

Thanks

I paid D.Kr. 55, about $ 12 - at a Scandinavian auction site. No other bidders. I almost felt like a thief in the night

Lauritz? B-R?

Lauritz? B-R?

Thank you

No hallmarks on the first two, the third set is marked "Bernhard Hertz"

No, it is neither Lauritz nor Bruun-Rasmussen - I do not trust Laurtiz (too many obvious copies of expensive watches sold at prices low enough to make it impossible to belive that they are in good faith - and way too many modern reproduction fireams sold as antiques) - and I have no personal experience with Bruun Rasmussen.


Regards.

I have been looking for cufflinks with a maritime theme for a while, I think these covers the theme in a quite a cool and balanced manner

Have you tried buying small stainless steel shackles from the ship's chandler?

Can't comment on Lauritz - I have only good things to say about B-R, though.

Peter Hertz was a very good Copenhagen goldsmith in the early 20th c. - he was a Court jeweller, along with Michelsen (and Georg Jensen). Bernhard Hertz must be a relative - good find!

I'll have to try that out.

I picked these up recently - marked 12 carat back and front, H.G. & S. Not keepers, I've decided, although I do like the variation on the sunburst/rising sun design.

 

[JEEP]

Nice ones :eusa_clap

Got this pair in the mail today:

40s or 50s - sterling silver. Stamped "STERLING A&K".

Nice, Anthony. I can't imagine not wanting to keep those.

I just won this; I paid more than I wanted, but I couldn't resist. It's my last one for awhile...really. Stamped made in England/Saks Fifth Avenue, I couldn't resist. Better pics when it arrives.

 

[JEEP]

Nice one AlanC - these boxes are way cool.

More links in the mail:

Not sure about the age, probably modern - unsure about the materials, no markings

Not sure about the age here either - maybe steel with gold, no markings

20s or 30s - golddouble, no markings

30s - gilt brass and enamel, marked "Gilt". Quite cute

Got these yesterday:

Age unknown (could be anywhere between 1920s and -60s) - gilt silver. No markings. The spheres are hollow and made from two hand-beaten halves.

^I like the hammered balls, JEEP.

Here are some pics of my new stud box. As stated earlier, this one went a bit higher than I wanted, but I couldn't resist. It was made in England for Saks. I believe it's pigskin, and it has a suede interior. I'm very pleased with it.

These boxes are incredible cool AlanC

I got these links in the mail today:

Hard to date, but 20s-50s is a good guess. Real amber and silver (or brass, it's hard to tell). No markings


I got this small lot aswelll:

40s - silver. Stamped "930 SNJ"

50s and onwards - silver. Stamped "925S HS"

20s-40s - silver. Stamped "925S HS"

Do you have any idea about the age?

My first cufflinks

These are my first cufflink purchases. Two MoP (or at least they look like MoP) snaps and another with a matching tie bar. Forgive me for the slightly fuzzy images.

I had the cufflinks before I had a French cuff shirt, so I remedied that problem today. My wife and I are having our birthday dinner Saturday, so I'll finally get a chance to show them off.

Cheers,

Shane

Nice snaps Shane.

I got these in the mail a few days ago:

Pre 1940 - probably 10s or 20s - silver or silvered, maybe with remains of gilding (I haven't dared to clean them yet - and I am not sure I am going to). Stamped "RJ" and "835". These are, in my opinion, extreamly beautiful - the picture doesn't do them justice at all. The cross-section of the front plate is asymetrical.

Thought Maybe you fellas might enjoy these....

I inherited my grandfathers collection of cufflinks, tie clips and shirt studs. Granted I'm a woman but I have a husband that was extremely grateful of the gift lol Here are a few pictures I've chosen the two that are my most favorite. I have no idea what they are made of but they certainly don't make them like this anymore..... (the pics are a little big....)

 

[JEEP]

Beautiful collection Cassylynn :eusa_clap

Your husband is quite lucky indeed.
