!01.07.07.13-AussieBuckle.jpgMark24 viewsMark - Chromed Brass Military-style, web-belt buckle with 1943 Australia Penny mounted on the front. $5 Start, S&H $3 US, $14 Australia & Other non-US destinations* lehmansterms@charter.net
WWII trench art? or just a "Greatest Generation" Aussie holding up his pants?
*Note, For a winning bidder in the US, a few coins could be added to the package with no additional S&H charge. This buckle in a bubble-wrap envelope weighs EXACTLY 2 oz. - so adding coins, etc, would result in a significantly higher S&H price to an International destination, given the recent increases in rates.lehmansterms

06-DSCF1688.JPG61 viewsNick - An astonishing piece of work! Originally a '70's-era Initial Ring, it had a ginormous letter Y carved in it which has mostly been removed - what is presumed to be an islamic silver coin (possibly overstruck on an earlier, Hellenistic-era coin) has been mounted in the bezel. A size 11.0 openwork ring, weighs 5.8g. The coin is 13.0mm - Open: $65.00 or Best offer and $6.50 s & h - nicholasparks844@gmail.com
Here's something that I had to do a lot of work on to get right. This was a Initial ring from the 1970's where they had carved a ginormous letter "Y" it took me forever to grind that dang thing down. My intention was to just get rid of that stupid "Y" and then decide so I settled on a coin ring so I used what I thought was a Islamic silver coin but once Finished cleaning and burnishing it became very clear that it was some kind of a re-strike some type of Islamic writing on top but what looks like an Emperors bust is still there . It's a very thin Silver coin and as I burnished it and molded it into the bezel the head became more and more clear as did the reverse with an Emperor or a god/goddess standing looking left. the Islamic writing was vanishing. I never even thought about coins being re-struck in the Middle East but heck the Byzantines did it to a lot of old Roman coinage so I guess it was more common than I had ever realized. enjoy Oh the ring size is 11.0 and it weighs 5.8 grams The coin is 13.0mm and that is pierce work on the sides. I also instead of soldering the coin in I glued it so if someone wanted to examine the reverse of the coin they could...menikko

11-DSCF3829.JPGLot # 1152 viewsNick - Here, for lack of a better description, is a Roman Fantasy Brooch in white metal (POT METAL). At one time chromed, it's 39x33 mm, 8.3 g. The brooch has a couple of hallmarks that are either badly struck or badly worn. I can only guess it's age at about 70 to 90 years old judging by the pin-back type and style. $20.00 Open and $7.00 s&h-nicholasparks844@gmail.com
The brooch should fall into costume jewelry class. I call it a brooch but it could also be considered a badge, I can find no other ones like it or even close in theme or design. menikko
