These are some of my favorites from Grandma's, and Great Aunt's! Some of them have seen alot of wear. Most are not signed. The first photo has some Kramer and Trifari Rhinestones, and a vintage art deco watch. The second photo has what I call my sheriff's badge. Third photo is of various pins. The last photo has a bunch of engraved names on a velvet ribbon I always thought that it was cool. Bert was my grandfathers name and Tola was a Great Aunt. The locket with an L was my grandma's, Leora, it has a picture of her when she was a child in it. These are the items that started me collecting.
