Vintage Set of 2 Cufflinks & 1 Tie Bar MASONIC KNIGHTS TEMPLAR [3 pieces total]
'IN HOC SIGNO VINCES' symbol in center
A fantastic set, circa 1950s
Each piece is square in design with gently rounded edges- no sharp corners. Rope trim border edge in the gold toned metal.
Center is black enamel with an applied insignia in the center which gives it depth and allows it to stand out from the background
Outlined in gold toned metal and with gold toned lettering. The lettering is not just 'painted on' - the script is made from actual individual metal letters that have been applied/pressed into the enamel
Very good vintage condition. Metal and black enamel are undamaged. Some slight tarnish to the gold toned metal normal for age and from being worn, minor, mainly along the edges. One of the cufflinks has a TINY white spot beneath the word HOC- almost impossible to notice- see last pic and use zoom. Cufflink backs [a hinged horizontal bar] and tie clip back work perfectly and are not loose or damaged.
Metal appears to be gold toned plating over a base metal- has a narrow waved texture on the back of each piece to help it from slipping when against shirt fabric.
Elegant and still very usable, reminders of a more genteel era.
Ready to wear- a special set.
Bought these at an estate sale many years ago. Totally unique and very collectible. No maker or manufacturer name is stamped on these. Cufflinks have the words PAT.PEND embossed
