OLD ANTIQUE CARVED IVORY GERMAN? ANDEKEN BROOCH
This is a very cool late 19th century to early 20th century souvenir brooch from somewhere in Europe. Probably Germany, I believe, as the word "ANDENKEN" is most likely German.
It is heavily carved and appears to be ivory...I may be wrong and it's bone...either way, it is skillfully carved and very old. It is a carved flower, a rose, I think, and it has lovely openwork that looks like lace or filigree.
The brooch is in fair condition,due to some damage to the end of the word. It still wears nicely, and it is all original with brass findings and an old "C" clasp. I've reduced the price to account for its damage, but it is still a fine piece of Victoriana.
Size: 2 3/8" by 1"

UNUSUAL CABACHON CHERRY AMBER? BEAD TRIBAL NECKLACE
These are about 30" long with a center hanging section of about 1 3/4" long. I am honestly unsure if these are actual cherry amber, bakelite, or another resinous material.
I do know I have had them in my personal collection for nearly 20 years. They are strung on a base metal elongated link necklace. There are 7 barrell shaped smooth cherry amber colored beads, each with hand made metal end caps. the beads are about 5/8" long each.
The necklace is in good vintage condition with minimal wear. One of the beads has an insignificant hairline which cannot be seen very well at all...in fact I only mention it to be thorough, but unless you are looking for it, it's unnoticeable.
A very cool piece! If I recall correctly, I paid close to $75 for this at an antique show back in the 1980s.

VINTAGE GOLD FILLED CARVED AMBER FIGURAL ROSE BROOCH
Apprx 2" by 1 1/2", circa 1950s, stamped yellow gold filled, appears to be a genuine piece of carved amber in the shape of a lovely single rose. I am not 100% sure, but it certainly feels and smells like amber. Also, along the backside the edge of the flower has very slight wear that has the qualities of amber. It could perhaps be a carved bakelite or lucite simulated amber, but regardless it is lovely.
Very good vintage condition.

MINIATURE CARVED FIGURAL WALRUS IVORY CHARM PENDANT
This wonderful charm is a miniature figural, hand carved of a walrus of ivory, possibly true walrus ivory. Measuring about 3/4" by 5/8", the aged solid piece is flat on the back and detailed on the front. His nose, eyes, and feet have hand painted accents.
At one time, the walrus were actively hunted by Inuit Eskimos, but demand for carved ivory from their tusks has lessened in the last few decades, and hunting is now less intense.
This walrus shows nice details complete with tusk and facial details. It's smooth and shiny and has a loop at the top to hang from a chain or charm bracelet. In excellent condition, it's free from damage or repair and is a fine diminutive sculpture.
