8 x 25mm. These are a silver toned metal with a whole to use as a pendant or charm. What a conversation piece to add to your designs. Some of these old whistles whistle better than others. They are very "wow" with or without sound!!!

41mm at its widest point and16mm at the thinnest. This one has an unusual patina. We think that the variations of color really add some interest to these old goodies. Very bendable to fit all.

These are bendable to adjust to fit most. The patina varies. Brass polish will give these a new look. All are signed on the back "KIM". They were made for the Kim Craftsmen Jewelry Company. The signature was first used in 1956 and registered in 1979.

7mm thickness. This hinged bracelet fits most. The diameter is 2 1/2". They are tarnished, but with a little polish, they do come up pretty nice. These were made so that you can attach a safety chain on the provided loops although the locking mechanism works well. This type of blank was embellished with beads and fine threads. Miriam Haskell used this type of bracelet blank to execute many of their designs. Now you can too.

17mm x 64mm. Hmmm... These are a bit of a mystery. Not sure what type of piece for which they were originally fabricated, but these have endless possibilities. Pendants, earrings, extenders, etc. Or take them apart for the beads. The oblong pink givre style beads are fabulous.

Approximately 25mm overall. We loved these vintage brass components (item 9059) so much, we had them plated in gold. They came out of the E.A. Adams warehouse that closed many years ago. Designers like Mirham Haskell used this type of component within their jewelry fashions. Please check out the vintage chatons (items 9060-9065) we have found that fit these settings perfectly.

14 x 29mm to the top of the loop. These have the signature for the modernist designer "Kim" on the back of each piece.

These will shine up nicely with some brass polish.

16mm x 31mm x 2.5 inches long. These are handmade so there are some variations. We think they were possibly barrette findings (they have a gentle arc) or hair ornaments of some kind. These would make some cool earrings, I think!
