The ring that holds all three chains reads GESCHUTZT GESETZLICH as shown in photos. This is a heavy art deco/ modernist/ machine age chain from maybe the 20\'s to late 30\'s. It has an approximate length of 12\". It has some very ornate mother of pearl / pearlescent inserts on the 2 rectangular pieces, these inserts are double sided. This may be chrome-plated or white gold plated (chrome was very popular in the Bauhaus jewelry style of this age) over maybe nickel silver. It does have some plating flaking off on the underside portion of the dog clasp.The large spring clasp works perfectly and has no issues.It needs cleaning and is in great vintage condition.
The fob is pretty special, it is a bavarian black forest buck antler/ horn, very good sized, hand cut and polished, very old and with a handmade sterling silver ring and large jump ring.This is a Charivari piece of tradition and history. The antler shows some scuffs and wear but can be buffed out if you decide to.The sterling ring that is attached to the antler has a cross made in the design, it is very interesting and symbolism that is designed beautifully.Free shipping will include insurance and signature delivery

Need to Knows & FAQ:

I receive numerous questions and special requests each week and I have posted the below Questions and answers to help you with and my listing policies, if you look at the back of most of your store receipts (even thrift stores) you will see a list of policies, keeping policies in place has become necessary for us:

1.Unethical requests:I do not break the rules, so please do not ask me to, the answer is no.

2.Special Requests:First, please remember that an seller\'s time is valuable and that we sometimes also pay fees when you make a special request:

Please consider that there is not much money in sales and specialrequests(requests for us to re-list an item, to use special packaging materials, etc.) requires our time of us (time is taken away from listing or shipping duties). Also consider that sellers incur costs or pay extra fees for special shipping requests, for listing an item, for re-listing an item and we also pay fees for both sold sales and sales that do not sell.

So, I respectfully ask that you understand that if you make a special request that there may be fees associated with your request and those fees will be reflected in the price of the item.

3.Shipping to someone other than your listed address:If you so choose; upon check-out, you have the option to change the address where you want your item shipped ( I believe this is in the pay pal menu that comes up after you check \"PayPal\" as your payment option. This menu confirms the shipping price and sale price and it shows your shipping address. It also gives you the option to change the \"Ship To\" location.... THIS IS THE TIME TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS TO THE LOCATION YOU WANT IT SENT TO. If you ask me to change it, that is against policy and it also negates the buyer and seller protections, in other words, we could both lose money. I WILL NOT ship to any address except the address sent to me via PayPal upon your check-out. If you forgot to change the address, I will cancel the sale and re-list so you can fix the address error on your end. Call Paypal or if you are unsure where to change the \"ship to address when sending a gift to someone, or when sending an item anywhere other than your verified Pay Pal address.

4.You forgot to offer on an item:If you forgot to offer on an item, check to see if it has been re-listed and if not, I MAY re-list it upon request, butunderstand that if I re-list it I will include the re-listing fee in the price of the item.

5.Selling outside of :I do not go around policy, ever and I will not sell without re-listing.

6.Ending sale for high buyer:I sometimes end sales for high buyers but never if there are other buyers or watchers. So, if you really want an item, make sure to add it to your watchlist so that I do not end the sale early at the high buyer\'s request. Also, if no-one else has offer or is watching the item you are offerding on and you really want it and can not wait. You may write me and make me an offer (over the listing price (not a lower offer)) and I MAY take your offer, ending the sale early for you. This is NOT a guarantee, but I will read your offer and give it consideration and let you know if I can take it or not.

7.Can\'t pay?:Please remember that I paid a listing fee and a final value fee for the item that you offer on and if you can not pay, it is not the worst thing in the world, but the best way to handle itsoyou do not get an \"unpaid item\" mark against you is to request for me to cancel the offer, otherwise an automatic unpaid item case will be opened by settings after 5 days.You can avoid that by requesting a cancellation.

8.Problems with Pay Pal?:Please contact Paypal for issues with PayPal, if your Paypal problems mean that you can not pay, please send me an email and tell me what is happening so I can decide whether I need to cancel the sale or to hold the item for you. The key is to talk to me and let me know what is happening.

9.How is shipping calculated?:I do not make money on shipping and many times I take a loss on shipping for the sake of sales.There are usually fees and shipping costs that you are not charged for. Please consider that shipping requires about 5 to 10 minutes of prep, packing and shipping time per item.If you look at the shipping label on your package when you receive it, I often pay more for shipping than I charged you, this is how it is on . This postage cost also does not account for the price of the shipping materials, tissue paper, boxes, time, etc. So, please, when leaving response for shipping charges keep in mind that I have no control over shipping fees and I do not come out ahead on shipping, but I do carefully and loving package your items knowing that you aregettingsomething special today.All in all, please think about the entire shipping process and not just the fee that the post office charges to ship an item when you consider the cost of shipping your item. Also, always remember combining shipping saves money.

10.Combined Shipping:Please look on this page for combined shipping details and if you do not see them, contact me for help. We combine shipping unless shipping is free :)

11.Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry & Accessories... GO BY MEASUREMENTS and KNOW YOUR MEASUREMENTS; Size tags and labels are not consistent:I list measurements and I also often take pictures alongside a ruler for jewelry and accessories also.If you do not see the measurements listed, or if something seemsinaccurate, it is your responsibility to ask for clarification or measurements.All clothing, shoes,accessoriesand jewelry manufacturersare different in their size labels and it is your responsibility to know your measurements when buying clothing, jewelry, and accessories.I can not stress enough that all sales are final and you must use the providedmeasurementsto decide upon your purchase, not a size tag or manufacturer\'s size.Yes, even with shoes, belts, rings and necklaces! If you do not see themeasurements, ASK, please!We try very hard to give you ample information about the condition and we provide measurements and we usually take photos of size tags, rulers, etc. so that you have more than enough details and can use these tools to compare and to decide upon your purchase before you offer. We want you to be happy and know what you arebuying, so please read the listing, look at the photos and ASK questions so we can help you!

12.Monitors can distort color:Ask questions! Read the description and look at the item from two angles (standing up and also sitting down) and/or pull out your tablet or phone and look at the item on a second deviceif you have any concerns or if this is a majorpurchase (or simply because it is smart thing to do when spending your hard earned money). Standing up and looking at an item from a second angle takes a second and can give youanother viewpoint to help you decide on your offer/purchase. Monitors are all different, for instance, a blue item can look medium blue on my monitor and it can look dark blue in another monitor) so, I cannot stress enough that all sales are final and taking the time to ask a question or to look at the item you want to offer on from another angle is worth your time (and money!).

13.NoReturns:We are not a department store. We are a family that sells lower priced items and the price of shipping and return shipping for these items becomes a financial loss (money out of our pockets and from the mouths of our children (so to speak)) to us when a perfectly usable pre-owned, re-worked, recycled or outlet mall item is purchased but unwanted by the buyer. We, the seller only incur fees and we end up making no profit in these circumstances and we can not sell on if we only pay out money. We raise two older children withdisabilities(spina bifoda and autism) and we live from the heart, we care about others and we rely on these sales, as such we truly want you to buy an item you love so we are very clear and careful about representing the items we sell.

We are very careful to give measurements, photograph defects and provide relevant information.YOU MAY ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS.We sell items from outlet malls, we also sell our own unworn or pre-owned items and we sell re-worked, pre-owned, vintage and recycled items (all listed so respectively), as such we do not accept returns.Please consider that you would not go into a resale shop in your town and request returns, Goodwill does not accept returns, outlet malls typically do not accept returns and antique shops do not accept returns.So please, when buying from our listings, or on in general, do your due diligence, pleaseASK QUESTIONS and LOOK at all PHOTOS and READ the descriptionbefore you offer.We try very hard to give you ample information about the condition and we provide measurements and we usually take photos of size tags, rulers, etc. so that you have more than enough details and can use these tools to compare and to decide upon your purchase before you offer. We want you to be happy and know what you arebuying, so please read the listing, look at the photos andASKquestions so we can help you!

14.MISTAKES ON OUR PART:We are human and can make mistakes but so can you, so we have posted our policies on mistakes for you.We really do want to make people happy. So, I am sure it is easy to see that unsavory and dishonest people have caused us to enlist a strict no return policy. But what about mistakes? When we do make a legitimate mistake please contact us first, do not open a claim with or PayPal or leave negative response, talk to your seller first, always, and PayPal will first ask you if you contacted the seller as this is the first step. Here is our most diligent effort to protect ourselves from dishonest buyers and to be fair to our honest buyers when it comes to mistakes in buying and selling.

15.Seller mistakes are not the following(There may/will be more that are not listed that you can email me about if needed):

A. Manufacturer size not listed:Seller omitting the manufacturer\'s size in the text description when a photo of the size tag is posted for you and when measurements are posted for you is not a seller mistake.

B. International Size Conversion:It is not a seller mistake when a seller converts a European size to US size using the international size chart.We will post the US size.We will also list measurements and submit photos of the size tag. (For instance, if we list a European size 40 shoes as a U.S. size 9 (going by the international size conversion), this is not a mistake. We will inform you to please go bymeasurements, and we will take a photo of the size tag, if you need more information (such as specific measurements), ASK as you have aresponsibilityto know what you are buying). If the shoes do not fit, it is not our mistake that you do not measure your foot.KNOW YOUR MEASUREMENTS ALL MANUFACTURERS SIZES DIFFER.

C. Seller opinion on size:Seller Informing you that the item is marked one size, but fits likeanother(for instance if we state \"the item is marked 1X but in oropinion, it fits like 2X\"). This is not a mistake, it is an opinion and you havemeasurementslistedto help you with the fit/size of the item as well asYOU are capable of asking for clarificationand for more measurements if needed. You have a responsibility to duediligenceon your own part when making purchases.

D. Seller typos:Typos such as writing 22\' (22feet) (as opposed to writing 22\" (22inches)) (for a chest, waist or inseam on clothing or a necklace measurement for typical jewelry) is not a mistake that warrants a refund. Reasonable due diligence is required for making purchases in any situation, reasonably jeans will not have a 22-foot inseam, a necklace will not be 22 feet long, etc. Mis-spelling brand names and other similar typos, are typos and are not mistakes that affect the functionality of an item and are not grounds for refunds or claims. Bereasonableand use common sense and ASK questions if you are not sure or need clarification and/or if you see a typo. Don\'t attempt to take advantage of a seller typo, that is shameful.

E. Color/ Shade:Buyer viewing/assuming an item as one shade of color (green/ blue/ red (any color really)) and then decidingit is not the exact shade or color as it appeared on the buyer\'s monitor/screen or phone at the time of purchase is not a seller mistake. Please look at item #12 above in our policies and you will see more info on how to best determine the color of an item online.

F.Reasonable wear, variations, artistic irregularities and nuances on not \"retailnew\", (pre-owned, outlet, vintage, antique, artisan made & handmade items):It is not a seller mistake to sell items that have evidence of being pre-owned, vintage, antique or not \"retail store new\" when in fact they are listed as used, pre-owned, antique, handmade, artisan made, vintage or from an outlet mall, etc.

Expect nuances in fabric/paint color and shade from when an item was retail store new, expect subtle and reasonable wear all on pre-owned items.

Pre-owned, artisan made and outlet clothing may have small variations and irregularities, for instance, they may have a small excess of a thread where the sewing completed etc., pre-owned clothing may have minor pilling, etc.

Garment washed and \"destroyed, deconstructed or purposely distressed or artisan made\" clothing will have variations in color andmaterials.

Pre-owned, outlet (non-retail new), vintage,antique& handmade jewelry may have patina or some plating wear or handmade artistic variations.

Pre-owned, outlet (non-retail new), vintage,antique& handmadevases, bookends and general housewares may have tarnish or might be mildly out of the round etc.

Handmade electronic projects, artwork and re-worked, steampunk and/or maker type items will have variations, patina, be distressed and have artisticirregularities.

In short, expect some wear and irregularities on items that are pre-owned/ artistic/ handmade/ vintage/ antique/ outlet mall purchases (all non-retail new items), and take notice that it is not a seller mistake to expect a buyer to understand the nature of such items. The nature of the item (pre-owned/ artistic/ handmade/ vintage/ antique/ outlet mall purchases/ non-retail new items))will be listed as such for you.You can always ask questions and you have a responsibility to do so when making purchases if you do not understand what you are buying.

G. Repair/ as/is re-workable /non-retail new/ antique and vintage items in general:We do sell some repair items and some items for re-working and occasionally we will sell \"as/is\" antiques, vintage items, clothing or jewelry that may be missing an insignificant button or maybe a missing rhinestone, etc. We will photograph the details of such items and state that there are defects photographed (for example a missing rhinestone, a missing collar button, etc.). We will, for example, state in the item description \"please see photos for known wear\" \"please see photos for known issues\" \"has wear, please see photos for condition\" etc. We may not always state in the text the nature of the exact wear, issue or condition, but will direct you to the photo. This in not done todeceivebut only because when listing numerous items, photos DO represent the item best and writing out specific details is time-consuming, and as such we may not always write out the written description of the issue but we will always alert you to any known issues and again, we will photograph it and direct you to look at photos. IF YOU NEED MORE DETAILS OR SPECIFICS, you need to ask it is your responsibility to KNOW what you are buying. YOU SHOULD WANT TO LOOK AT ALL PHOTOS and YOU SHOULD LOOK AT ALL PHOTOS; especially if we have alerted you to a need to see any issue/wear/defect in photos.

H. SIZE:This subject is covered about 10 times in my listings, know your measurements and go by measurements, not retail size tags.It is not the seller\'smistake if your item does not fit as measurements are provided and if they are not, you MUST reasonably ask for them.Go by MEASUREMENTS when buying all items that you wear on your body, only YOU know your measurements! Manufacturers can only guess what the median size is for thousands of body types, foot sizes, bracelet sizes, etc. KNOW YOUR MEASUREMENTS AND GO BY THEM WHEN BUYING.

16.Unhappy?:Talk to me... do not turn to response to vent your frustrations, try talking first. We are easy to reach.

17.Happy?:Please let us know when we got it right, people learn faster with positive reinforcement rather than negative reinforcement. Thank you!
