I guess its not really a junk drawer...more like drawers of junk, eh?
or not...
I have yet to really sort through this,there are some interesting materials & pieces. I am sharing because I want to hear your thoughts.
Fun stuff! Although not jewelry, I remember those little mini license tags- they used to send them to us with our car registration every year, to use as a key chain. Nowadays, we wouldn't want anything identifying which car is ours on our key chains! It's before 1970, because that's what year the California plates changed from black to blue. And after about 1960, because that's when they changed from yellow to black.
Is that a tiki pendant on the last photo? That was a huge fad in the early '60s. I had one carved out of wood with rhinestone eyes! Kinda scary!
Wow , I would love to get my hands on something like that . I take old broken jewlrey and make new jewlrey out of it . I make necklaces out of orphan earrings or broken pins etc. I also make earrings out of antique glass buttons or other jewlrey peices .
I love digging through those boxes, usually I can always sniff out some missed gold and silver ;D
That isn't a junk drawer, that is a treasure chest!!!
Wow! Beautiful junk! :)
