Hi Guys,

Been reading the Fedora Lounge for some while, and thought it time I got involved a little.
By way of introduction, here is a small part of my vintage collection. As I find time, I will add more.................

Enjoy..............and comments please

Welcome and nice 'links!

 

[Benny Holiday]

Welcome aboard Rico! Those are some mighty fine Deco cufflinks! Been collecting 'em long?

 

[The Wolf]

Thanks for sharing those swank pieces.
I hope you enjoy your time on the Lounge.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

Those are beautiful. My fella has one French cuff shirt, and I have a pair of my grandfather's links for him to use, but nothing so vibrant and colorful as your collection.

Spectacular collection of Deco links, Little Rico! How long have you been collecting?

 

[Bugsy]

Great collectin, Rico. You and your collection are both welcome in the Lounge!!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

These look like real enamel, beautiful designs and colour schemes!

I am a fire enameler (the real thing, no resin!) and I often entertain the idea of making cufflinks. Champlevé is a technique I quite enjoy and it works wonderfully for art deco designs. Very inspirational post, thank you!!

Hi Loungers,

Thanks for the warm welcome and kind comments about my cuff-links.

I have been collecting vintage for going on 12 years. I have been very lucky with some finds, but have always been prepared to go that extra yard and $ to get what I wanted.

The collection is now quite extensive, but I guess (and hope) gaining in value, although I never bought my collection to make money.

Regards

Rico

Tie bars on the way.........................

Introducing...............Tie bars

This is a lot of my tie bars. Got some more, but these are the best

[Quigley Brown]

Those are incredible!

 

[Little Rico]

Thanks for the kind words. I don`t get to wear them much as my job doesn`t require a shirt and tie, but still nice to have as and when the time is right

Rico, those are the best Deco enamel 'links and bars I've ever seen. Are they European? (The French made a lot of them.)


These days, vintage Deco enamel cufflinks as fine as yours rarely show up on U.S. eBay. UK and French eBay are better sources.

Superb, simply superb, your photo's give me a really good sense of the style I am looking for. Thanks again.

 

[Dr Doran]

Great 'flinx.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Little Rico has a superb eye.

I guess most are european, and me thinks most are 1930`s from the design and quality.

Most of my favorite vintage is late 30`s/40`s. tho` my daily dress is period 50`s (jeans, gab shirt)

The stuff is definately getting harder to find.............

I really am pleased that my accessories have gone down so well with you aficionado`s. As most of my gear doesn`t see much day light, I thought it was a shame that people don`t see the stuff.
