A really great fun set of six sterling silver golf club skewers that I assume were for cocktails, or hors d'œuvre. The set of clubs are individually hallmarked to Birmingham 1928, and come in their original box which is marked Ellis Bros. in gold on the interior silk lining. The clubs are also marked with the makers initials ...M J. Represents a complete set- from driver, various irons, to putter. Would make a great gift for a golfer.
Condition: Very good. Silver is bright and detail work is excellent.
Size: Skewers - 3 inches in height.
Box- 4 3/4 X 4 X 1/2 inches.

A very unusual wide hinged brass and Bakelite bracelet with the central section containing a compact. The brass wrist band can be sized smaller because of the hook closing and four adjustment spaces. There are three Bakelite sections, one on each side of the metal framed central panel. The metal frame has a small lip, that when lifted, opens to reveal a small compact inside complete with powder puff an mirror. All appear to be original to the piece. A very interesting bracelet with beautiful rich colors.
Condition: Very good. Minor scuffing to the brass, but does not detract from the overall appearance.
Size: Inside circumference 6 1/2 inches, bit could be adjusted smaller. Height at front - 1 3/4 inches.

The porcelain quality is wonderful on this small porcelain candle snuffer figure with an Orientalist face, top knot, and delicate coloring. Costume consists of a flowing gown with pierced holes in a ruffled collar. The holes appear to be through the collar only, but in fact go into the body. I would imagine this was to let the smoke escape when the figure was placed over the candle. The only mark to be found is a small red 20 on the interior of the body. Really a very sweet piece.
Condition: Fine.
Size: Height- 2 1/8 inches.
