AWESOME LOT! 67 PCS! ODD EARRINGS, RHINESTONES, DECO, VICTORIAN! This lot includes approximately 67 pieces of jewelry and pieces that are ready to be "recycled" into new creations! I have been saving these things for a bazillion years with the intention of one day making wonderful jewelry, creative accessories, or SOMETHING. Alas, it simply doesn't seem to be happening....

So...check out the pictures...odd rhinestone pieces, earrings, silver filigree, Victoriana, a big old broken pocketwatch, glass cameo, bakelite hat ornament, chrome and red bakelite 1930s art deco lid, Victorian bead work, cool tassel beaded piece, carved wooden African head or mask, Edwardian paste slides or shoe buckles, Haskell style earrings (one back is broken, you could probably restore these), a shoe clip with what appears to be black bakelite or an early plastic, jet black beads, some celluloid or plastic...and there is more.

You are buying the entire collection of pieces and found objects for ONE price. They are sold as is...some rhinestones may be missing here and there, the watch is more than likely NOT worth fixing, etc. However, what a wonderful grouping of items to turn into creative projects and potentially HUNDREDS, maybe even THOUSANDS of dollars worth of items. These are NOT cheap pieces, and this is not the kind of thing you would find at a craft store.

I am selling this lot as a SALE priced, WHOLESALE collection and am not negotiable on the price.

More on the Pope from Wiki:

Pope Pius XII (Latin: Pius PP. XII), born Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli (March 2, 1876 – October 9, 1958), reigned as the 260th pope, head of the Roman Catholic Church and sovereign of Vatican City, from March 2, 1939 until his death in 1958.

Before election to the papacy, Pacelli served as secretary of the Department of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs, papal nuncio and Cardinal Secretary of State, in which he worked to conclude treaties with European and Latin-American nations, most notably the Reichskonkordat with Germany. His leadership of the Catholic Church during World War II remains the subject of continued historical controversy.

After the war, Pius XII contributed to the rebuilding of Europe, and advocated peace and reconciliation, including lenient policies toward vanquished nations and the unification of Europe. The Church, flourishing in the West, experienced severe persecution and mass deportations of Catholic clergy in the East. In light of his protests, and his involvement in the Italian elections of 1948, he became known as a staunch but pragmatic opponent of Communism. He signed thirty concordats and diplomatic treaties.

Pius XII explicitly invoked ex cathedra papal infallibility with the dogma of the Assumption of Mary in his 1950 Apostolic constitution Munificentissimus Deus. His magisterium includes almost 1,000 addresses and radio broadcasts. His forty-one encyclicals include Mystici Corporis, the Church as the Body of Christ; Mediator Dei on liturgy reform; Humani Generis on the Church's position on theology and evolution. He eliminated the Italian majority in the College of Cardinals with the Grand Consistory in 1946. His canonisation process is in progress.

This is from MY collection. I bought it at an estate auction 21 years ago. It was quite pricey even then. It is an ashtray, though I have never used it as such. Signed M. Le Verrier on the bottom, depicted is a nude who appears cold as she has her arms crossed over her chest as she leans over.

Amazing detail, superb vintage condition, original, no damage or repair.

I found the following information about this piece:

Max Le Verrier was the name of a very famous 120s foundry, known for its amazing statues. The figures they made are known to have an elegance of movement, providing a moment which seems frozen in time. Max le Verrier is one of the most sought after names because of the fine detailing, making it a superb representative of the art deco movement.

Though they are best known for his chryselephantine figures, Max also made bronzes group figurals, One them made by the foundry is the classical theme of Diana the Huntress or his famous Amazonian Diana with shield and spear.
