VINTAGE COVE – JEWELLERY & COLLECTABLES

Wizard Cuff Holder - 1889
|
At Vintage Cove you can find many treasures from yesteryear. Focussing mainly on Men’s Jewellery Accessories, there are also many other items from time to time.
Most items have been sourced from garage sales and estate sales. Sometimes I have to buy a bulk lot of 20 or so, just to get the one item I really wanted. And this is where you come in. I've got too many things. And you get to benefit from my hours of searching the sales.
So come on in and grab a bargain!
.
In my private collection I have some beautiful pieces. Here is a description of a couple of them.
The first one is a vintage Gentleman's “Wizard” Cuff Holder from 1889. Back in the late 1800s, gents’ shirts came with detachable cuffs and collars so they could be easily replaced to give the appearance of a fresh clean shirt. This wonderful little gadget was designed to hold the cuffs in place. It is ornately patterned and in very good condition.
Folklore suggests that the more imaginative Wild West poker-player also managed to use this gadget to hide an ace up the sleeve, with one end clipped to the clothing and the other end holding a hidden card.

Ladies Cape (or Jersey) Pins – c.1850
|
The second one is a set of Ladies Cape or Jersey Pins, for holding the two sides of a cape or cardigan together. It has two small, ornately detailed, pins joined together with a length of sturdy chain. Although my piece is not dated, these types of pins were very popular in the 1850s.
Another favourite is a Stratton Lipstick Holder/Compact. It’s a nifty little item that holds your lipstick and has a pop-up mirror. The mirror lid is ornately detailed with a pattern of a rose, and has the trademark Stratton scalloped edges. This one is not so old, from around the 1960s.
I hope this inspires you with your search for some vintage collectables. It can be a very rewarding passion and hobby. The joy of finding something beautiful that has weathered the test of time.
