This eclectic lot comprises a collection of vintage costume jewellery, historical ephemera, and advertising memorabilia. Included is a necklace of simulated Mallorcan pearls accompanied by a certificate of guarantee from Juan Vallespir Bauza, Port de Pollença, Mallorca, housed in a red velvet pouch. A significant historical item is the cardboard box for Gold Medal P.P.I.E. 1915 Flower Beads, manufactured by Westall Manufacturing Co.

Silver-toned jewellery includes a wide band marked STERLING RUSSIA, a box-link chain with a clasp marked ITALY, and a cross pendant marked SILVER on the reverse. The collection features a variety of brooches and pins, such as a gold-tone articulated fish, an enamel beetle in red and gold tones, a tiered Art Deco style paste stone brooch, and multiple butterfly motifs. Also included is a collection of hat pins with assorted heads in teardrop and spherical forms. Small collectibles include a Cow and Gate Smiler advertising button, a small metal tin with an incised design marked TATTOO, a St. John Vianney religious medal, a metal crochet hook, and a large black textured sphere.
