You are buying one vintage Chevrolet Charm Bracelet


Description & Condition

  • This sale is for a vintage Chevrolet charm bracelet from the 1960's
  • Included in this sale are the following items:
  •      Bracelet 
  •      One charm which is the GM building in Detroit with a Chevy logo on the bottom
  •           on the back of the charm are the words 'Claims Adjuster 2-1-69'
  •      The original box for the bracelet - blue felt inside and out 
  •           except the inside of the lid with the Balfour logo and 'Jewelry's Finest Craftsmen' is printed blue letters on a white background
  •      The original white paperboard box for the blue felt box
  •      A notecard with 'Career In Medals' on the front
  •           A message from LNMays on the inside
  •           According to an article in the New York Times, LN Mays was Lewell N Mays
  •           Mr. Mays retired in December 1972 from GM as Vice President and General Manager of Buick
  •           I will go out on a limb and guess in 1969, the date of the bracelet, that Mr. Mays was Vice President and General Manager of Chevrolet

  • The bracelet was intended for the wives of 'Chevrolet Men' per the card

  • I am calling the bracelet used but it appears to be in like-new (slightly tarnished) condition

  • The measurements are approximately:
    • Eight (8) inches long from end to end, would fit a slightly smaller wrist
    • The bracelet and charm weigh approximately 1.4 ounces

  • The bracelet is as pictured -- see the pictures for more details -- use the zoom feature for closer inspection

  • The bracelet, felt box and LNMays card have no damage that I could find -- no chips, scratches, nicks or other damage
  •      There may be some fading or other age related changes but overall this looks fantastic for it's age
  • The damage on the top of the white Balfour box is peeled away shiny paper on the top of the box
  •      Kinda like if you put tape on a box that has a shiny finish, pulled the tape off and a bit of the shiny paper came off

  • The price I am asking reflects the fact that I have the original boxes and card from LN Mays
  •      Those items are the as-received items that the employee and spouse would have received when the bracelet was presented to the employee

  • The squares in grid in some photos are 1inch x 1inch
  • This is not a stock photo, the item pictured is what you will receive
