Great Collection of Unusual Sterling Silver Pieces: Three Cuffs, Colonial Spanish Cob Bracelet, Art Nouveau Pin and 6 Bangles. Great collection of sterling silver pieces, some very unusual, striking and perfect gift giving
The highlight here is:
1.) Authentic Colonial Spanish cobs. Cobs are the original "treasure coins." Struck and trimmed by hand in the 16th through 18th centuries at Spanish mints in Mexico, Peru, and Colombia silver cobs are handsomely crude, nearly all with a cross as the central feature on one side and either and a coat of arms or tic-tac-toe design. Custom bracelet has 9 authentic cobs (half pence and one real) and the spacers appear to be trade beads. 8½" in length quite unique and appealing.
2.) Wonderful cuff with a Mexican gekko resting atop the bracelet. Nice weight to cuff 2½ x 2" mint condition
3.) Art Nouveau pin in beautiful high relief. 2¼ x 2"
4.) Simple cuff with foliate designs from Mexico 2½ x 2".
5.) Twisted rope cuff 2½ x 2"
6.) Six (6) great bangle bracelets (wear them all at once) 2¾ x 2¾"
Total Gross Weight 8.8 ozt almost entirely sterling silver. Fun pieces here. Estimated Value $500 - 1,000
