Thrift store bargain- collar bar & cufflinks

[Feraud]

Bought these today for $7.

Collar bar is marked Swank and the cufflinks are unmarked.

Not sure if I ever posted these but here are some random collar bars.

The last one is a baseball themed bar.

Love the baseball themed one. Very unique (though they probably made billions of them, i've never seen one).

but i really like the silver one with squared ends. Now, where would one pick up something like that? Many thanks, it works like a charm. Will post some pics someday . . .

If I could just figure out how to keep the little buggers from falling off...

I am not a sports fan but like the theme on men's jewelry.
My favorite is the horse race.

Could it be the shirt material?

Really? The ones i've used are so tight that they're difficult to get on! They can hold a piece of paper in place they're so tight.

I have the same experience as Baron Kurtz. My collar bars are harder to get on than off!

I've seen a couple of the baseball ones at antique stores, but they've all been SO expensive (by which I mean over 30 bucks; I think a collar bar should cost 10 at the very most).

You did very nicely there, the cufflinks look great.

Thanks. The God of Vintage very good to me this weekend. I also received a single breasted Botany 500 suit. Very 50's!
