General Auction including Gold, Silver & Cars ( ONLY 14% COMMISSION )
A diverse collection of mixed estate costume jewelry and assorted trinkets, housed within an open, rectangular vintage cigar box. The box, likely thin wood or heavy cardboard, features a colorful lithograph on its lid depicting a tropical scene with palm trees and houses, labeled “LA TROPICAL DE LUXE” (The Tropical Deluxe). Further visible text identifies it as from “J. MACHADO TOBACCO COMPANY LIMITED, KINGSTON, JAMAICA B.W.I.” (British West Indies), with “DIPLOMATS” and “25” printed on the front edge. The contents comprise a varied array of necklaces, bracelets, brooches (including one cameo, others floral or rhinestone-set), bangles, and pendants (notably a fused glass piece and a large clear faceted stone), alongside a small key. Materials observed include faux pearls, mother-of-pearl, multi-colored glass and plastic beads, clear rhinestones, enamel, gold-tone and silver-tone metals, and natural fiber ribbons.
