A genuine estate-fresh treasure trove for the collector, jewelry artist, or vintage seller who wants inventory instead of a single piece. Layers of history are represented here — Victorian mourning-era stone work, Art Nouveau brass, Deco pot metal, celluloid florals and 1960s enamel mod pins — all in one buy. Lots like this rarely stay intact; the best pieces get pulled and resold individually, so grab it whole while you can.
