FREE: Van Dell Vintage Pin Gold over Silver Signed!

The listing, Van Dell Vintage Pin Gold over Silver Signed! has ended.

This pin is beautiful, but in obviously used condition. A little TLC by someone who knows how to clean this beautiful piece would really bring out the glitz it begs to share. There is a tiny pad on the back with the well-know Van Dell marking and is stamped Van Dell 1/20 12K GF on Sterling.

"The Van Dell Corporation was founded in in 1938 in Providence Rhode Island. The company manufactured well made sterling silver, gold filled and gold plated jewelry. Many of their designs used cultured pearls and interesting rhinestones and other stones such as Austrian Crystals and included genuine hand carved cameos in their range. The jewelry was of high quality and was meant to resemble fine jewelry. Some of their early pieces sold for $65 or more in the 1960s, which was quite expensive for the time." -
