We love searching for antique and vintage gold charms as you never know what you're going to find next - like this incredibly rare and highly detailed vintage gold binoculars charm!

We can't believe the craftsmanship that has gone into making this charm. The case has a little latch that opens so you can lift the lid and slide out a pair of miniature gold binoculars! And that's not all, there is a little wheel on the binoculars too that actually turns so the binoculars can expand out to become larger. We've never quite seen a charm like this one before!

 

The charm is made of 9ct gold and the outside base of the case is marked '9ct'. The binoculars insides are also made of 9ct gold, these are unhallmarked but tested. Without further hallmarks, it's hard to date the charm exactly but we think it's likely circa 1940s in age.

 

The charm weighs approx 3.6g and the case when closed measures approx 12.9mm tall by approx 15.2mm wide (not including the jump ring) by approx 7.1mm deep. The binnoculars when expanded measures approx 13mm by 10.6mm by 3.7mm. As the jump ring has been attached to one side of the case it hangs at an angle when worn.

 

Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition but does show signs of age and wear, including some surface wear to the gold inside and out, both to the case and binoculars. There are marks to the gold case where the lid rubs against the gold case when closed. There is also a mark to the back of the case that looks to be where the gold was joined when the charm was made, this is slightly indented. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. Please see photos.

 

*Please note the box and chain pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
