Here's what's inside box ten of our 12 Days of Christmas (or Charm-mas if you will!) Advent Calendar... a miniature gold and enamel whiskey bottle charm. The charm is available at the special festive discounted price until we open box 11 at 6pm GMT on 11th December 2024 too.
The charm is wonderfully detailed and made in three dimension, complete with an enamel label detail that reads 'WHISKEY' in white and black. The back of the bottle has also been marked 'WHISKEY' above the hallmarks. The top of the bottle has a red enamel detail too.
The charm is made of 9ct gold and is hollow in the centre. There are two small airholes to the bottom of the bottle from when the charm was made. The charm has british hallmarks to the back for the maker 'GJLD', 9ct gold, London and the date letter 'A' for 1975. Some of the 9ct gold hallmark has now been worn away.
The charm weighs approx 0.85g and measures approx 18.3mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 8.3mm wide by 7.3mm deep.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition but does show some signs of age and wear, including surface wear to the gold and enamel. There is a faint clear layer that covers beyond the enamel label detail that was likely to seal the enamel in place that can be seen under close inspection. The 9ct gold hallmark has worn away partially as mentioned above. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. Please see photos
*Please note the antique chain and box pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch*
